Botnets
botnets is the Swiss army knife of attack tools. Once a computer has been compromised with bot software, malicious hackers can leverage its bandwidth to send spam, host illegal content or execute distributed denial of service attacks. As Operation Trident Breach showed, they can also be used more covertly, to secretly record keystrokes, stealing banking passwords in order to transfer large sums to the criminals. ZeuS, currently the post popular botnet creation and control tool, is specifically designed to steal passwords and other sensitive data. Remarkably, less than half of ZeuS-based bot variants are detected, on average, by commercial anti-virus software. The 2008-era Conficker botnet is like an active volcano, ready to erupt at any time. This means that any organization, regardless of size, has a responsibility to educate its employees on external risks and proper behavior to mitigate infection and improve the security of the enterprise network.

to some, botnets might seem advanced, but fear not all-mighty ddos skids! there's an option for you aswell!
there's a botnet tool for linux named "Ufonet". UFONet - is a tool designed to launch DDoS attacks against a target, using 'Open Redirect' vectors on third party web applications, like botnet.
although you don't keep your bots or don't really do any damage skids will use the all mighty power of tools of this to scare their friends. from testing, it gathers around 300 "bots" and is pretty much useless against any website bigger than 10 users. ufonet is to designed to launch DDoS attacks against a target, using CSRF/XSS vectors via exploiting third party web applications. So, using XSS vulnerable targets as botnet.
