So I got a little question, how it would be possible to make bots running netbots NOT sending the netbot-commands also to those bot(s) in botnet which aren't running netbots. I have set netbot flag only to the bots running netbots, but still when checking traffic to other bots which don't run netbots they receive these netbot commands. Is there a way to stop this?
Check your nb_flag setting. If nb_flag is set to "N" or another custom flag, the bot will only sent netbot commands to bots with that flag. The only exception is if a non-netbot is between the sending bot and the receiving bot in the botnet tree, in which case the communication will pass through the non-netbot.
