[Tutorial] HD IRC server Setup - Łegym - Sep 12, 2009
Edit: 5/16/2014 - Updated Dead links!
Hello Hackforums! I have been meaning to write another HD tutorial for a while and this one will be on setting up IRCXpro!! I notice that when it comes to bontets, IRC servers play a vital role, so i wrote a very detail tutorial. This is going to be a good read and I hope everything works out smoothly! There will be a lot of questions affiliated to hosting your own IRC Server and I wil try to go over them. If I am missing a step, or if a section needs better explanation, or I did not cover something, feel free to let me know! For the people that sell server spots, don't hate. Power is knowledge.
Oh, setting up the IRC server is 100% free. The programs are free and the sub-domains are free as well.
Requirements
- A computer that will be on 24/7
- IRCXpro
- The ability to port forward
- An IRC client
- A No-IP Account
- Windows 2000, XP, vista, Windows 7
- Internet
Downloads and Guides
- Pics, mIRC, and IRCXpro
- HD Port Forward guide- https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=363794
[*] MSoffice2010 instructions: https://mega.co.nz/#!PYZSyaTQ!ny_s_cR2rg_wWZiy7p7OJe0kPcX0hd0wb6WDDiooqtc
No-IP Account
1. Go to http://www.no-ip.com/
2. Create a account
3. When you log in your account; click "Add a host"
4. For the hostname put a name you would like for your IRC server. Example: FederationCore.no-ip.biz or FederationCore.zapto.org, etc
5. Host type; leave as DNS Host(A)
6. Now click "create host"
7. Finish!
The No-ip host name will convert your Ip address into a name. DNS(Domain name server). So instead of typing 92.556.345.89 for your serve
name; it is now XXX.no-ip.biz
Installing
IRCXpro:
1. On the server computer, open IRCXpro.rar and mIRC.rar and extract it to the desktop
2. Open the IRCXpro 1.2 folder and open Initial.exe
3. Install the program.
4. Open ircxpro.1.2.1538.cracked-tsrh and extract the 5 files to the desktop.
5. Move the 5 files to where you installed IRCXpro. You should replace 2 of the orginial files from ircxpro.1.2.1538.cracked-tsrh.
6. After you have replace the two files, open Initial.exe.
7. Keep going until you have to fill out a form. Fill the form out. You can use Fake info.
8. You should now get a server configuration screen. For the server name put down your no-ip host name. (XXX.no-ip.biz)

9. Put anything you like in the description
10. Put any name for Operater name. This is your account to login in the server and the Operator for your server. Make sure to put down
something you will remember. This is VERY important.
11. Make any password up. Remember this! This is how you login your server! Very Important!
12. Message of the day: Put anything you want.
13. YAY! An error! Press cancel. If your firewall asks if you want IRCXpro press okay.
14. Now open ircxreg.exe. This should now crack IRCXpro!
15. Boosh! Now look in your taskbar. You should see the IRCXpro icon

16. Double click on the icon then put in the username and password and then login! Once your logged in, your server should be running! We still have a little while to go.

mIRC 6.34:
1. The steps are in the download.
Configuring the server
There are about 20 pictures. Thought it would be easier to upload to a site. Comment if you have a question!
Download is in the download section!
Don't forget, you can minimze the IRC server window to the taskbar!
Port forwarding
Oh shit. What so many of us have problems with. Another HD guide is in process. For the mean time, your going to need to scavenge for help
until the next HD guide is out.In order to connect to your IRC server, you server will need to be excepting incoming connections. So we must port forward. Good luck!
1. Remember this picture?
Spoiler (Click to View)
The port that is circled is the port we need to open.
2. Port forward that port
3. Once you think it is open, go to http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and check your port. If it is open, you are almost ready for your private
IRC server! If it is closed, go back, take your time, take a deep breath and try something new!
Remember. If your port is not open, you cannot host a IRC server. Some tips for now. Make sure your IRC server is running when you check to see if your ports are open. Check your router, modem, Anti-virus, and firewall!
Connecting to the correct IP address
1. If you are connecting to your server on the computer running the server, use address 127.0.0.1
2. If you are connecting to your server though a different computer, but you are using the same network, use the private addresses.
Addresses that begin with 192.168, or 10.0, or 172.16 are called private addresses. These addresses are only used for traffic on your local LAN.
3. If you are connecting to your server though a different computer, but on a entirely different network, use your No-ip account!!
Configuring mIRC
The hard part is almost over! You are almost there!
1. Open up Noscript(its the tricked out mIRC)
2. Go to file>new server
3. Add
4. Description: Optional
5. IRC server: Connect to either 127.0.0.1, your private address, or your no-ip account. Go to "Connecting to the correct IP address" if
you don't know which one.
6. Password: The password you put for server. Picture 5 from the config.
Spoiler (Click to View)
7. It should look something like this. Look how i used 192.168.0.171. It shows i was on a different computer, but in the same network. You
must adjust according to how you are connected and which computer you are using.
Spoiler (Click to View)
8. now select "select" and hit connect! If it ask for a name, e-mail, just put in stuff. I will get to that in a second.
9 NINJA!!! Hopefully it should say "Welcome to IRC..."
10. Now connect to the IRC channel we made for our bots! Picture 11 from the config download. In order to connect to our channel press
Quote:/join #Channel
11. Now a message should pop up saying it is protected by a password. Type the password in.
Spoiler (Click to View)
12. Type the password and you are in my friend!
However, its funny how your not a OP in your own IRC server. OP's have all power. They can change settings from mIRC and are not limited by rules like a regular user would have.
13. Disconnect from your server.
14. Go to file>select server
15. Name: Put what ever
16. E-mail address: @ VERY important
Spoiler (Click to View)
17. Nickname: Put it the same as your IRC OP that connects to your server
18. Alternative: Optional
19: Invisible: I would also turn this on
20. To become OP Type
Quote:/oper NAME Password
Password would be the same as your OP that connects to your server
Example: /oper legym IhearEmma
21. You should now have become a IRC OP in your new private server!
Questions
Why do I need a computer 24/7:
The reason i said you want one is because you want to be able to connect to your bots when ever you want. If you keep turning off the server, your bots will not reconnect until they restart the computer. Having a server that is on all the time is more convenient.
Is it good to host my own server at home:
Yes and No. Hosting your own server at home leaves a direct path to you! So it is much easier to be traced. However, if you do not DDoS anything, you should be fine.
How big is to big:
Do not try to run a massive botnet on a home server. Doing so will drag your bandwidth down. Getting caught will lead to jail time.

Just use some logic and reasoning.
People connect to IP address when the computer starts up.
If the server is down, then the computer doesn't connect to the server.
If the server is up, you are able to connect.
Now what would cause the computer to stop connecting to the server?
What i'm trying to say is neither you or anyone else won't be able to connect to the server if your server is down. _ Your bots will continually try to connect, but if the server is down, then they are connecting to a dead server.

* - Łegym - Sep 12, 2009
The HD botnet setup is meant for building a bot source, in that case it was Rxbot
This is a guide for hosting your botnet.
