dual hubs

tonic · Post by **tonic** » Sun Nov 11, 2001 4:38 am

To minimize lag on a rather large botnet i have setup two different hubs that share share userfiles with their individual leafs. I have been trying to setup a third hub to link these 2 hubs together, and i seemed to have got them linked fine. However, when i do .netjoin and all the other net commands, only the 3 hubs act upon the command. I think I might need to set some different flags to get the whole net to part/join channels and do all that stuff together, im not sure, maybe the tcl doesnt allow it. Currently i just have +bfoN set both ways for the hubs linking to the master hub, plus the +h bot flag on the two smaller hubs, so that it auto links. Are there some more flags i need to add to get them to all do stuff together.

Please inform me. Thanks.

Everybot in the botnet, that you wish to act upon you net commands, should have the flag defined in the netset.tcl file (default N).

Every bot in the botnet, muist also have the correct same key setup in the netset.tcl file, else they wont respond either.

Login to a bot you are issuing the command from, and a bot that isn't listening to the command.

1. On the issuing bot, does the receiving show +N in .whois?
2. On the receiving bot, does the issuing bot show +N in .whois?

Also paste your nb_ctrlbots settings.

set nb_ctrlbots ""

Do I need to set something in that?

Wait, im thinking my major hub might need to have the userfiles of the other two hubs...because the major hub doesnt have any of the users on it that the two hubs that link to it do...So they aren't set +N.

But I don't know how i could get the major hub to download both and combine.

Would it be easier if i just linked the 2 hubs together?

one last thing, i could add all the bots manually on the major hub..and it works, i just tried adding a few bots. But that seems like a little excessive work.
