👉 The "bytes weapon" is a term used in cybersecurity and hacking communities to describe a type of attack that leverages the power of computational resources, particularly large amounts of data processing capabilities, to achieve malicious objectives. This can involve using distributed computing networks, such as botnets, to perform tasks like data exfiltration, encryption/decryption of sensitive information, or even launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. The "weapon" aspect refers to the use of these resources as a tool or weapon in cyber warfare, emphasizing the potential for significant damage through sheer computational might.
