How does the architecture of a Discord-based DDoS C2 differ from traditional botnet command and control structures?

A Discord-based DDoS C2 structure utilizes the Discord platform as its primary communication channel, bypassing traditional botnet C&C infrastructure such as IRC servers or custom-built web panels. It relies on readily available Discord bots to relay commands, whereas traditional botnets require a more complex setup. This makes the deployment and management of these attacks arguably easier for attackers familiar with Discord's API and bot development.
