As these attacks become widespread (and sophisticated), the first step in protecting your organization is knowing exactly what you are facing. We currently have botnets that are the main source of network attacks such as spam, denial of service (DDoS), click fraud, data theft, Pass the Hash, and RDC attack. With the evolution of technology, we have several solutions to protect against attacks that undermine businesses, governments, individuals, but security attack methods are increasing daily. This study seeks further investigate botnet attacks and also provide a comparison of these attacks, lastly, the survey will create awareness for forthcoming botnet research endeavors.</p>}, number={1}, journal={American Scientific Research Journal for Engineering, Technology, and Sciences}, author={jules, Jiala Mafo and Cheng, Hongbing and Regedzai, Gloria Rumbidzai}, year={2021}, month={Mar.}, pages={76–89} }
