Welcome [username]. Since i recently started programming in C#, and it goes pretty good. I came to part where i want to make program that will do some data transfer or communicate with online database. So the perfect way to explore that field would be to create a simple botnet. I created this thread so you could help me with my questions.

I know the basic schema of BotNet, but now i have to go more detailed.

1. How does infected ( slave ) PC sends data to main server/pc (master). ( I was guessing ftp,sql,email?...)
Anyways i am looking for most efficient way to connect those slaves, i was wondering about sql db. Could that be simple solution for communicating between slaves and master, for example changing specific bool at sql db at true (1), and inserting new string with ip of target. And bot on slave's pc would look for that boolean in sql db, if it's set to true it reads the string where ip is stored, and then it starts the attack. And when bool is set false (0) it will stop the attack. ( I was thinking about that kind of communication, was i thinking good?)

2. What kind of attacks are most efficient & used in Botnets?

3. How to protect the source / encrypt the packets that are containing sensitive info such as login/password of ftp,sql db,email...


Thanks in advance.

( Might be updated for more questions )

1) personally I would have the slave connect back to an irc channel, this way you can avoid being traced.

2) There's lots you can do with a bot net from remote administration to screen captures and key logging to ddosing servers.

3) I'm not sure how to achieve this to be honest.

I'd love to give you some snippets of code but unfortunately I don't know any c#.

Hope this helps

Thanks for replying. It would be also great if you had something in pseudo, or if it's short could translate it to pseudo?

Thanks, you helped

Sorry I can't help you further unfortunately, I've never coded such a thing, I just stumbled across the method somewhere (was coded in c++, but there was no source) can't even remember where I found it if I find it I'll pm you the link as I don't want to post links to competitors here.

I imagine it would go something along the lines of coding a simple client then:

Connect to *your channel*
Login user:pass
Then listen for commands

But will slaves know that they are connected through irc? Or they know they are using it but they doesn't know that it does malicious stuff?

shortly: Do they need to use IRC with their knowledge to be part of Botnet or not?

No the idea was that they are using it without knowledge of it it's supposed to be a hidden service hence why you'd code in a simple client with your server all it has to do is connect and listen unless you want it to spam other channels
