Hallo, I'm halfway through writing a set of php scripts that register with a sharebot and becomes part of the botnet, its intended purpose is to relay all the userfile changes and some user interaction on the website between the bots and the website.
So far I have it registering with the botnet and recieving the userfile on the initial connection, however, once I've finished recieving the userfile I'm unlinked from the botnet.
From what I can see from looking at the source I think that its because I'm not sending an acknowledgement (sp?) to the bot after I recieve the data (I think).
My question is, how do I generate an Aknowledgement response? I've looked high and low on the net but I can't make much sense of the info I've found. And also, what form do I send it in?
You know ... for all the people i've seen who want to manage their userfile via a mysql db .. this would be one of the better ways .. a pseudo share bot.
Anyways, take a look at share.mod -- it should all be in there. I'm not sure if you have to do anything special to end sharing .. the hub should send you "!" when sharing is complete .. make sure you are responding to "pi" (ping) and sending back "po" to stay on the botnet .. just like ping/pong on irc.
