Botnets can (often) perform distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks in which thousands of individual computers send overwhelming amounts of traffic at a victim's computer. True or False?

True

Explanation:

Botnet is a network of devices such as computers, smart phone or IoT hardware infected with malicious software and they are controlled as a group without the knowledge of their owners. This is possible to utilize Botnets to launch denial-of-service attack (DDos) on a victim's computer system to cripple its operation. DDos attack can be achieved via Botnet to flooding the victim machine with excessive requests to overload the system and prevent it from receiving legitimate requests.
