In this paper we show that botnets and specifically peer-to-peer botnets, pose a considerable threat to our national security. We examine the rise of the botnet threat and the technology that makes this threat possible. We also examine the tools available to the criminals that control botnets, botnet offensive and defensive capabilities and the latest trends in botnet development. Then we show how this technology can be used as an offensive weapon against the United States and our allies.
