Challenge: Understanding botnets
(bright music) - [Instructor] I'm here at this webpage, Spamhaus Technology, where we can see a live botnet threats worldwide map, and it shows the IP addresses and the locations of servers used to control computers infected with malware. Now the yellow shows locations with the most intense bot activity and the aqua or the blue underneath shows command and control botnet servers. So this is all about botnets that occur on a daily basis, and I want you to take a little bit of a closer look at botnets. So for this challenge, and we did go to that website, I want you to answer the following questions. What is a botnet? What is a command and control botnet server? What are zombies? And how can you become a zombie or get infected? This challenge should take about five minutes, good luck.
