HTTP botnet vs IRC botnet? - javinzplayer - Sep 16, 2017

Im looking to get a botnet and I see a lot of topics on IRC botnet's and HTTP. If you ever used a HTTP or a IRC botnet is there any pros and cons on them? Thanks for helping me! 🤝

Do you know what you need for a HTTP botnet?

HTTP server or http hosting. MySQL server (or any other SQL server), the panel files and the bot.

Http is the current standard, ideally, you want a peer to peer or blockchain based one, these are very rare and difficult to develop compared to HTTP though
Don't even touch IRC, unless you encrypt every command and run the server privatly I guess, either way, decentralized is the way to go if you're truly serious
about botnets

i recommend you a http botnet , irc is obsolete nowadays ^^ if you need help to setup it feel free to pm me

HTTP is the way to go nowadays. Maintaining IRC bots and getting a reliable source is really a trouble.


HTTP Botnets are the way to go as the people above me say. IRC Botnets are good too but it's hard to get reliable sources and it takes time to configure one properly..

IRC is good for a few things that you want done at the same time and instantly. If you use SSL and encrypted commands it would be better but IRC traffic is hard to hide on a network.

well that all depends. back in the day i use to hold 150,000 rbots on irc. all servers were made from high uptime bots. hidden servers.

it was a constant add new servers, pull old dead servers from configs etc.
none of our commands were encrypted, had a couple issues with people trying to steal bots but they never succeeded :)

I'd go with IRC depending on your needs, IRC botnets are relatively easy to setup. Provided you're wanting it for obvious reasons go with IRC. For "Monetization" your best bet would be an HTTP botnet. I'd recommend one that can be used for "herding", if I recall right just sit on some bots, and then drop cryptominers on the PC's that are linked to some really good pools. I'd recommend starting with upcoming altcoins speculated to "take off", and throw them into a crypto portfolio, so when they do skyrocket you've got coins out the ass.

irc botnet is useless with a private irc server anyways, you could be running http with that private server


if you can't even code a basic node js C2 you don't deserve a botnet

OH wait you think I was asking you to give me something? I wanted to repost a download for the community because they were asking I can careless. Hence how I closed the thread. and you weren't the only one I PMed about it. You arent a special snow flake. you are just a flake. Get off my threads and stop leeching.
