Botnet is a collective of computers linked together to form a network of computing power typically used for malicious intent. Once a computer is infected through software it can perform tasks without the owner knowing it.

Why is it hard to catch a virus creator?

Although every file or program has a digital origin that can be traced back, some virus creators encrypt their program and make an "armored virus" so that it will be harder to trace the creator back to their point of origin. Some hackers also use "zombie" viruses to create a botnet. A botnet is a network of two or more "zombified" computers that are under the control of the hacker without the user's knowledge. Since there could be dozens of computers comprising a botnet, this makes it very difficult to trace the hacker because you would first have to trace back all of the zombified computers.


How is botnet created?
