Is IRC still popular for botnets? - eparallax - Aug 14, 2019

Is IRC really still popular for botnets? I can understand why, being simple and so on, but is it true? Is it still popular? If not, what is more popular?

No.

(Must reach the character limit lmaooo)

Also, P2P and HTTP. Saw a blockchain botnet once.

No one really uses irc nets these days. They are usually easier to detect and very good at storing data when compared to a http net.

link me to blockchain botnet if you find it.
I saw 1 or 2 P2P, vinchuca was one

Irc was gen 1, p2p was gen 2 and http are considered gen 3 because irc and p2p have cons there slow and they don’t always work in all environments, DNS is considered gen 4 but those nets aren’t that common.

How is that anywhere relevant to the topic? Was just curious about it

Did you actually see a p2p but source code?

Yeah IRC is so old school man. SO many other effective ways to do it now...

Deucalion was IRC based and semi-recent, however, it was purchased and is no longer obtainable. (publicly ;P)

I highly doubt you have the latest version, nobody but a very select few have it.
