Botnet problem...

[BigSjedow]

I have 2 bots on the same host. Trying to setup a botnet with those 2.

Bots are called BS-Bot (hub) and BS-A (leaf).

At the hub i did:

.+bot BS-A localhost:3334
.chattr BS-A +fo
.botattr +gs


and at the leaf:

.+bot BS-Bot localhost:3333
.chattr BS-Bot +fo
.botattr +ghp




at both bots in the confige file i set in the global chanset:
+shared

and the modules:

loadmodule transfer
set max-dloads 3
set copy-to-tmp 1
set xfer-timeout 30

loadmodule share

now.. the problem is:
This is what i get at the leafbot:

[13:19] Received challenge from BS-Bot... sending response ...
[13:19] Linked to BS-Bot.
*** Linked to BS-Bot
[13:19] Downloading user file from BS-Bot
[13:19] Failed connection; aborted userfile transfer.
[13:19] Disconnected from: BS-Bot. No reason (lost 1 bot and 1 user)
*** Disconnected from: BS-Bot. No reason (lost 1 bot and 1 user)


and this i get at the hubbot:

[13:19] Creating resync buffer for BS-A
[13:19] Sending user file send request to BS-A
[13:19] Timeout on userfile transfer.
*** Disconnected BS-A (timed-out userfile transfer)



Can someone help me with this problem ?????

Thx in advance

If the bots are on the same box, maybe U should try some different ports like "3111 and 9111" on the bots. Been so long since I have gotten that problem my self. Forgoten how I fixed it... but if your running them on a privat box, that might have a firewall blocking.

just some sugestions...

[BigSjedow]

Hey kimmi,

thx for awnsering so soon.
Gonna try some other ports. the box doesn't have a firewall. its just my own test server. have ircd running on it and the eggdrops...

Grz..

[BigSjedow]

nope, didn't work.

any other ideas ???

doesn't it matter i use localhost:<port>

instead of <ip>:<port> ???

[Turambar]

dunno but just try it out

Do you have router/firewall ?

[GodOfSuicide]

allways use the exterenal ip

when i did localhost / 127.0.0.1 it didnt work too

[BigSjedow]

yes i do have a router, but only connecting via private lan...

till now. cause i gonne try GodOfSuicides idea..

[]Kami[]

Yep, if you have router, your bot cant be hub, it can be just leaf, because he cant send userfile, chanfile...next.Find some friend which have pc always on, and ask him, if he can run but, and then he will run hub, and you will link other bots on it...

[BigSjedow]

]kami[,

idd, i now setup de port redirection (NAT) on my router, and use my external ip as GodOfSuicide said and he does come further but not transfering the file:

hub:

[00:22] Telnet connection: <my isp hostname>/33859
[00:22] Timeout/EOF ident connection
[00:22] Challenging BS-A...
[00:22] Linked to BS-A.
*** Linked to BS-A
[00:22] Creating resync buffer for BS-A
[00:22] Sending user file send request to BS-A

and at the leaf:

[00:22] Received challenge from BS-Bot... sending response ...
[00:22] Linked to BS-Bot.
*** Linked to BS-Bot
[00:22] Downloading user file from BS-Bot
[00:22] Timeout on userfile transfer.
[00:22] Disconnected from: BS-Bot. No reason (lost 1 bot and 1 user)
*** Disconnected from: BS-Bot. No reason (lost 1 bot and 1 user)


....

can u explane to me why this doesn't work if i'm behind a router ?? maybe i can figgure out an other solution

[]Kami[]

I told you, even if you open port if wont work, i have opend ports to, but not working, bot cant send file..

[BigSjedow]

:s k..

thx for you help.. Gonna have to search for a shell to run the hub

Grz.

BigSjedow

[BigSjedow]

mmm... redirected all posts to my linux box where i have the bots running on and it works hehe

so there must b a port which the hub nedds. gonna look for it. when i find it , i will let u know about it

Grz.. BigSjedow

[gumbydammit]

hmm bots on same comp.. behind a gateway.. correct?
if this is the case.. heres what i suggest..
set my-ip "LAN ip"
set nat-ip "WAN ip"
set reserved portrange .. a small range you will forward ( the file transfer will happen on these ports)

then when you go to link the bots.. use the LAN address to link them ( keep it inside the network) all the rest of the stuff i said is more or less so people will be able to dcc your bot from outside the network..(forward the bots listen port) You can play with my-ip setting without nat-ip and try and get it working first.. use nat-ip as a last resort.. often it is needed tho.. i have a few bots on a network sharing and the setup i said works fine for me
