Sorry for jumping in when seniors are already suggesting and can suggest better than I could. Anyway I thought to share a few of my thoughts maybe this could help the owner of this post.
I am basically a user from Undernet network, I have a channel with has no X so a friend of mine has lended me a botnet to protect my @op. The botnet consist of 8-10 bots. There is nothing special about those bot they're as simple as any. But there are 2 botnet files we're using on every eggdrop. Here are those files:
File 1
File 2
Not only that we also use silence on each bot, each means all the passive bots are using Silence not the hub bot. If all the bots have silence then how can we access the botnet? ehh
Code: Select all
putquick "SILENCE +*,~*@undernet.org,~*@*.undernet.org"
putquick "SILENCE *"
using that silence code will allow only users who are logged in X can access the bot, those who are not auth`d or logged in X will not be able to communicate with the bot. So in a way your bots become a lil secure from any kind of flood attacks. Usually flood comes from drones/floodbots which are not logged in X. So that command is quiet helpfull to protect your bots.
Another thing, add these two lines at the bottom of your config file. This will not allow anyone adding their host knowing the password. For example, if a friend of mine knows my password of bot but he/she does'nt have his/her *!*@host added in the bot. So through the addhost command he/she can easily add the host and get in the DCC and mess with everything. So if you unbind it, the bot will not react on this command. We use it on all the bots to protect ourself from adding host even if someone knows the password. If any op wants to add their host, we verify everything we find out we investigate then we add host. Which is quiet Secure.
I will also recommend you DO
*NOT* , I repeat maybe you did'nt read
DO NOT add anyone with auto op flag. I've experienced it, it is way insecure to give anyone auto op flags. How hard is it for someone to perform: /msg botnick OP password?. So there is no point of giving someone +a chattr.
Also use strictop mode and use any good +bitch or strictop script, you can ffind them from
Archive easily.
These are minor things but if you follow them all, you will neverbecome opless.
If still there is something left do let me know.
peace
