“…❖ Botnets: A mobile botnet is a collection of smartphone and tablet computers corrupted by a malicious program. An attacker known as the Botmaster commands a mobile botnet to conduct illegal operations such as eavesdropping, transmitting malicious codes via SMS, DDoS attacks, and stealing sensitive information [64]. ❖ Spyware: The attacker uses freely available online spyware to gain control of the victim's mobile phone, allowing them to control SMS, emails, listen to phone conversations, and monitor the victim's location using GPS.…”

People are increasingly sharing their personal information online as internet usage grows. As a result, fraudsters have access to a massive amount of personal information and financial activities. In recent years, phishing assaults have become one of the most common threats faced by internet users, governments, and service providers. The attacker(s) uses falsified emails or bogus websites to obtain the client's sensitive data (i.e., user account login details, credit/debit card numbers, etc.) in a phishing assault. Studies have classed phishing attacks based on fundamental phishing mechanisms and defenses, ignoring the importance of the phishing lifecycle from beginning to conclusion. This study also provides a new thorough taxonomy of phishing assaults, including attack phases, attacker types, vulnerabilities, threats, targets, attack media, and attacking strategies. Furthermore, the proposed anatomy will help readers comprehend the full lifecycle of a phishing attack, which will raise awareness of these phishing attacks and the strategies utilized; it will also aid in the development of a comprehensive anti-phishing system. In addition, various preventative precautions are being investigated

Botnets have emerged as a significant internet security threat, comprising networks of compromised computers under the control of command and control (C&C) servers. These malevolent entities enable a range of malicious activities, from denial of service (DoS) attacks to spam distribution and phishing. Each bot operates as a malicious binary code on vulnerable hosts, granting remote control to attackers who can harness the combined processing power of these compromised hosts for synchronized, highly destructive attacks while maintaining anonymity. This survey explores botnets and their evolution, covering aspects such as their life cycles, C&C models, botnet communication protocols, detection methods, the unique environments botnets operate in, and strategies to evade detection tools. It analyzes research challenges and future directions related to botnets, with a particular focus on evasion and detection techniques, including methods like encryption and the use of covert channels for detection and the reinforcement of botnets. By reviewing existing research, the survey provides a comprehensive overview of botnets, from their origins to their evolving tactics, and evaluates how botnets evade detection and how to counteract their activities. Its primary goal is to inform the research community about the changing landscape of botnets and the challenges in combating these threats, offering guidance on addressing security concerns effectively through the highlighting of evasion and detection methods. The survey concludes by presenting future research directions, including using encryption and covert channels for detection and strategies to strengthen botnets. This aims to guide researchers in developing more robust security measures to combat botnets effectively.
