golang p2p botnet application - socks4 - Feb 11, 2026
anyone looked at go-libp2p? Github repo
I spent some time working on it and I was able to create a p2p application that could easily be used in a botnet style, command signing, rebroadcasting of commands etc etc
Still would need work in order to set it up for offensive use, but has anyone on the forum looked at using libp2p in development?

Good job, that sounds interesting.

understanding the networking behind it is way more impressive, most on the news use their own systems it's suprising not many have used libraries like this

Yes I have tweaked around with it and it does look like it would have massive potential

I agree, since this post I’ve finished it. Works for two devices behind a nat and has command verification alongside peers talking to each other to share information.
Basically a finished p2p botnet tbh

Looks very interesting. Thanks for the share.
