Creating Botnet in Rust
Create your botnet network in rust
Description
Our "Creating Botnet in rust" course teaches you how to create multithreaded botnet network in rust.
A botnet is a network of compromised computers or devices that are under the control of a single entity, often referred to as a "botmaster" or "command and control server." These compromised devices, known as bots or zombies, typically become part of a botnet through the installation of malicious software without the knowledge or consent of their owners.
A reverse shell is a type of shell in which an attacker sets up a connection between their machine and a compromised system, enabling them to execute commands on the compromised system. This is in contrast to a regular or "bind" shell, where the compromised system actively listens for incoming connections.
Botnets are commonly used for various malicious activities, including:
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks: The botmaster can command the bots to flood a target website or online service with traffic, overwhelming its resources and making it unavailable to legitimate users.
Spam Distribution: Botnets can be used to send out massive volumes of spam emails, promoting scams, phishing attacks, or spreading malware.
Credential Theft: Bots may be used to collect usernames and passwords through various means, such as keylogging or phishing, providing attackers with unauthorized access to accounts.
Cryptojacking: Botnets can be used to secretly mine cryptocurrencies by harnessing the computing power of the compromised devices.
Information Theft: Botnets may be used to gather sensitive information, such as personal and financial data, for identity theft or other malicious purposes.
Propagation of Malware: Botnets can be used to distribute and install additional malware on the compromised devices, creating a broader and more resilient network for the attacker.
Reverse shells are a common technique used in various cybersecurity scenarios, including penetration testing and ethical hacking, where security professionals assess the vulnerabilities of a system to help improve its defenses. However, reverse shells are also a common component of malicious activities, such as remote exploitation, data theft, and unauthorized system access.
We will use rust to create a reverse shell server and client.
