How do I go about finding address and port of my BOTs?

AmazonBoy · Post by **AmazonBoy** » Fri May 28, 2004 6:50 pm

I created 3 bots with windrop v.1.6.13.
I want to creat a botnet with the 3 bots I have.
I have to add them to the botnet
and for me to do that I have to add them with their address and port
like this exemple:
Address
The physical address, containing the address and port of the bot.
For example: lame.org:3333. You can change a bot's address with
".chaddr <botname> <hostaddress:botport[/userport]>".
Here is an example senario:

BotA is on lame.org listening on port 3333, and BotB is on irc.org
listening on port 4444. First, you have to add each Bot to the other's
userfile. On BotA, you would type '.+bot BotB irc.org:4444'. If BotB is
on a common channel with BotA, BotB's hostmask is automatically added.
Otherwise, you have to add the hostmask manually with the '.+host'
command. On BotB, you would type '.+bot BotA lame.org:3333'.
I need help in finding my bots address

thanks in advance

It's not as complicated as it may appear at first.

#1 Select the three ports you would like to use making them at least 10 apart ie. 4024, 4034 & 4044 (these ports are not normally used by the windows system).
#2 In each bots config uncomment and alter >> #listen 3333 all ie. Bot1 (using the above ports) would be: listen 4024 all
#3 In DCC a bot is added using .+bot <handle> [address[:bot port[/user port]]] [host]
#4 If the bot being added is sharing the same channel the host is added automatically.
#5 Next .chattr <handle> +fo

So, it's as simple as (for Bot1) .+bot Bot2 127.0.0.0:4024 (address is an example only)

Thanks a lot Achera for your quick reply, it was much appreciated.

I did exactly like you told me .These are my bots below:

.+bot Hexdecima 69.194.6.6:4024/4444
.+bot MegaBite 69.194.6.6:4034/4444
.+bot Whirlpool 69.194.6.6:4044/4444
.chattr Hexdecima +fo
.chattr MegaBite +fo
.chattr Whirlpoll +fo

Suposely the phisical address of the bots has to be my IP Address I am not sure of that, but I added it anyways.
------>69.194.6.6. <------
The hostmask I never added it, because I don't know if I should add my
my hostmask there, like this :

-Hexdecima- I'll recognize you by hostmask '*!Amazonboy@*.net.cable.rogers.com' from now on.

------>net.cable.rogers.com<------

That's my hostmask right?

Now When I try to link the Bots I am not successful, I get the following message :

[8:59:18] <MegaBite> [08:59] Linking to Hexdecima at 69.194.6.6:4024 ...
[8:59:53] <MegaBite> *** [MegaBite] Couldn't link to Hexdecima.
[8:59:53] <MegaBite> [08:59] Failed link to Hexdecima.

----->Failed link to Hexdecima<-------

Obviosly I am doing something wrong, and I have no idea what it might be.

Can anyone help please?

Any help would be much appreciated !

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

You also have to do the same process in each of the other bots as well. In Bot1 you added Bot2 etc, then in Bot2 you add Bot1 and so on.

'*!username@*.net.cable.rogers.com' is the correct hostmask but as all 3 bots have the same host (even despite the different user names) you'll probably have to manually add their respective hostmasks (just double check in each bot).

Also, select one bot you would like as a 'hub' and in the other two bots .botattr <hubnick> +h (sorry, I left that out before).

I use Windrops myself (for experimenting) but have not tried to set up a botnet with them, so I have no idea if it will work. I really cannot see why it won't.
