Pulsing Zombie
A pulsing zombie is a computer whose security has been compromised by a cracker and it is used as a tool to launch denial-of-service attack on target computers in a network. Unlike a regular zombie, the pulsing zombie doesn't completely paralyze its targets, but merely weakens them, in what some call degradation-of-service attacks.
