Botnet userfile sharing problem

[Exterus]

Hi.

I've successfully managed to link two of my bots to each other, but the hub won't send its userfile to the leaf. I've read the guide here on egghelp and perused the documentation of eggheads, but I still can't figure out what's wrong and I'd appreciate some help.

Here's the exchange between the two bots:

Linking to TheDude at reprobate.se:4454 ...
Received challenge from TheDude... sending response ...
Linked to TheDude.
*** Linked to TheDude

Here's the .whois for both bots:

Pajsaren (the hub):

HANDLE PASS NOTES FLAGS LAST
Pajsaren yes 0 bflo 12:40 (linked)
#rpgonline s never
BOT FLAGS: hp
HOSTS: *!exterus@matfors.net
ADDRESS: lost.fsnetwork.se
users: 4443, bots: 4443

TheDude (the leaf):

HANDLE PASS NOTES FLAGS LAST
TheDude yes 0 bflo 12:40 (linked)
#rpgonline s never
HOSTS: *!*exterus@*.bredbandsbolaget.se
*!exterus@*.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se
ADDRESS: reprobate.se
users: 4454, bots: 4454

The share and transfer modules are loaded and I've +shared the channel in question in the conf files.

Hello Exterus, let's change a bit your bot flags.

First, connect to the Hub and type:
-----------------

Code: Select all

.unlink TheDude   (this is because you can't change the attributes while bots are linked)
.botattr TheDude +gs

Then connect to TheDude
-----------

Code: Select all

.unlink Pajsaren
.botattr Pajsaren +ghp

This should do the trick.

Thanks a lot! Now it tries to send the userfile, at least.

But I have another problem now.

When Pajsaren sends the userfile send request to TheDude, TheDude responds like this: "Failed connection; aborted userfile transfer."

Hmm, well I would myself next try to reset the passwords, sometimes
they cause problems.

Connect to both of your bots, unlink them and switch password to nothing.
They will generate each other new passwords.

You can do it this way:

Code: Select all

.unlink BOTNAME
.chpass BOTNAME

Althought this wouldn't solve the problem, it isn't harmful in any way,
since the bots will adjust each other new passwords anyway

On ^VD^ type:

Code: Select all

.unlink ^Camel^
.chaddr ^Camel^ 66.252.4.29:50030
.chpass ^Camel^
.save

on camel type:

Code: Select all

.unlink ^VD^
.chaddr ^VD^ 66.252.4.18:50035
.chpass ^VD^
.save

This might help your bots getting linked and sharing userfile, although I am not sure what's gonna happen

you also might want to space your ports a little more, I seem to remember it saying in the conf file that 5 will work, but 10 is better
