CSRF stands for cross-site request forgery attack, where a victim is tricked into carrying out the attacker’s instructions. Depending on the victim’s degree of permission, the attack’s effect will vary. Such attacks profit from the fact that when a user’s identity has been verified, a website automatically trusts them.
A CSRF requires two basic steps for execution:
First, the hacker dupes the target into opening a page or clicking on a link. Typically, social engineering and fraudulent links are used to do this. Next, the victim’s browser makes an artificially convincing request to the website.

A botnet is a collection of computers infected with malware, and controlled by an attacker to carry out some background tasks to attack a specific target. For instance, the attacker might use all of the infected computers to speed up a dictionary attack on another system.
