Explanation of Solution

Difference between point-to-point circuit and multipoint circuit:

Point-to-point circuit

Multipoint circuit

Point-to-point configuration means that it goes from one computer to another computer.

Multipoint configuration means that many computers are connected on the same circuit.

This circuit is also called dedicated circuits.This circuit is also called shared circuit.

It is used when the computers generate enough data to fill the capacity of the communication circuit.

It is used to share the circuit with others.

This circuit is expensive.

This circuit is cheaper.

Conduct a comprehensive study on Botnet networks, focusing on their architecture and functionality. Provide a detailed analysis of their control mechanisms via C2 (Command and Control) structures, and classify the different types of Botnets (centralized, decentralized, hybrid). Explain their primary uses in offensive contexts and discuss the evolution of detection and mitigation techniques in light of technological advancements in cybersecurity. Additional Note: Design a complete Botnet simulator using Python programming, including both the C2 server and the bot client. Demonstrate how the bots connect to the server, and how commands are sent and received between them.
