Setting up your botnet

Also see GettingStarted

Read this guide all the way through before doing anything to get a better understanding.

Setting up the hub binaries on shells

1. Setup hubs according to HubSetup
2. Setup leafs according to BotSetup

Logging into your hub

• Telnet into the main hub using the dns and port you specified in PackConfig.
  1. Enter your username which you selected in PackConfig when you see a blank line.
  2. Enter the password defined from PackConfig when asked.
  3. You will be presented with a lot of scroll during your first login, be sure to look for your initial SecPass and record that somewhere for safe keeping.
  4. Next you'll want to probably set your console:

       .console +mcobs
     

Customizing your botnet

• Then type .set and set each option (leaving options blank is okay)
• This seems tedious but can really help customize your botnet. Some settings you should really customize are:
  1. mean-kicks
  2. realname
  3. msg-op, msg-pass, msg-ident, msg-invite

Setting up leaf bots

1. Login to leaf shells and setup bots according to BotSetup
2. On the main hub you need only add the first bot defined in each binary as follows:

    .newleaf botnick
   

What's next?

That's it! Bots will link and automatically add hosts and other bots defined in their binaries.
