Botnet is a jargon term for a collection of software robots, or bots, which run autonomously. This can also refer to the network of computers using distributed computing software.
While the term "botnet" can be used to refer to any group of bots, such as IRC bots, the word is generally used to refer to a collection of compromised machines running programs (usually referred to as worms, Trojan horses, or backdoors) under a common command and control infrastructure. A botnet's originator can control the group remotely, usually through a means such as IRC, and usually for nefarious purposes. Individual programs manifest as IRC "bots". Often the command and control takes place via an IRC server or a specific channel on a public IRC network. A bot typically runs hidden, and complies with the RFC 1459 (IRC) standard. Generally, the perpetrator of the botnet has compromised a series of systems using various tools (exploits, buffer overflows, as well as others; see also RPC). Newer bots can automatically scan their environment and propagate themselves using vulnerabilities and weak passwords. Generally, the more vulnerabilities a bot can scan and propagate through, the more valuable it becomes to a botnet owner community

Get the botnet mug.Boganett is the diminutive of Bogan, and refers to the progeny of the Crown Princely Couple from Denmark, Mary, and Frederik. The result was a bogan blend, with the taxonomy classification of: Boganalia Fredata Moshalia Glucksborgensis Donaldidae.
The chance product of a union cemented in a pub, amid the strong smell of hops, waccy baccy, and sweat. The potential incubator was immensely attracted to the scent of pheromones emanating from a black plastic card, owned by the 'Hairless Heir', and promptly initiated a hands on torso rubbing charade, used by Bogans in confined areas, instead of chest beating, to secure the attentions of the slow Fredosarus Rex, the Crown Prince of Denmark, the one with a name tag around his neck, that she retrospectively claimed ignorance of. After a long persuit by the Bogan predator, a quickie personality fix assisted by the piece of black plastic, and the gestation period buttoned up, a BOGANETT was produced, another future hairless heir, with jaune d'oeuf colouring, an apparently tetchy temperament, and a mouth like a crack in a pie. This process has since been repeated, but to date, not completed!

Generally used when attempting to refer to the fact without directly stating it. Mostly used by people who don't feel secure in their use of the plant, and want to keep it on the down-low.
