first of all... all my systems are german language... so as the authors ones i guess.

i was unhappy when your page (www.brainbot.de.vu) was downl last week and so euphoric yesterday when i was able
to download the bot start testing it... but then everything came other as i planed... :-/
i tested brainbot 1.5.3 and 1.5.1 on win2k professional with service pack 4 and on win2k server service pack 2
and got only those 2 error-messages which you can find pinned to this message as .gif's
win2k == win2k-professional-sp4-german.gif
win2k-server == win2k-server-sp2-german.gif
it seems everybody arround here is using xp hm? cause i am the first one who posted that
problem aren't i?
of course the bot's features read very well... but what does it use for me if it doesn't work?
it couldn't be the intention of the bot to run only if you install some runtimes before or?
would be very nice if you can fix this.
my suggesstions for some features which are missind:
- ftp server on custom port and not only 21
- ssl-support for connection into irc (if it is capable with visual basic(?))
- custom file which is uploaded to the hacked sql-server (maybe your own custom rootkit or whatever else)
- get it to work without the necessary of installing extra runtimes
- get it to work on win2kpro winkserver
PS:sorry maybe i am only to dump to use the bot correctly... but i've read the hole thread and somebody had the problem with "Runtime Error '5'" too which i habe unter 2k-server.
wouw! next problem....
now i started my winxp-sp2 and whenn i wanted to configure the a new bot i got the errorscreen you see in
winXP-sp2-german.gif
something about Run-Time Error '339' and a missing component MSCOMCTL.OCX ... ok i searched my win2k and hey i found it
and put it into the same directory as the "server builder.exe" and it seems to work... i am happy for holy
5 seconds... thats the time i needed to calm down and tried to start the server...
i switched to my vmware-win2k-pro-box with installed unreal-ird hopped into my mirc-window and awaited the bot...
nothing happend... *GRRR*
ok, restart *as i read here it solved someones prob and it solves so often a prob with windows*g*
after i was back i made a netstat... saw this:
Aktive Verbindungen
Proto Lokale Adresse Remoteadresse Status PID
TCP fuckup:1046 192.168.23.201:6667 HERGESTELLT 1588
[bootload.exe]
seems to be ok... but how can this be if 192.168.23.201 is my vmware machine which still hasn't booted cause i just rebootet my xp hostsytsem???
ok i startet vmware and went to the irc-server on the 2k-irc-server-testmachine... nothing there in #botnet *grrr*
i found out that the bot renames itself to bootload.exe and puts itself into the %systemroot% (in my case G:\WINDOWS) i also found a file in
%systemroot%/Prefetch/BOOTLOAD.EXE-18AA83C4.pf and i have no idea what it is and its just 20kb in size... seems to be a systemfile generated by xp for any executable you used?
i also found a bootstat.dat in the %systemroot% but there were
only special-chars in it... nothing to read

ok i killed the bootload.exe process and startet it again in the hope that it will now connect to my irc-server correctly
i did netstat again and got
TCP fuckup:1047 192.168.23.201:6667 HERGESTELLT 1588
[bootload.exe]
i went to the remote-machine to check the connection with netstat and got:
Aktive Verbindungen
Proto Lokale Adresse Remoteadresse Status
TCP win2kclient1:6667 FUCKUP:1047 HERGESTELLT
Seems as a connection has been clearly established doesn't it?????
Again NOTHING in my irc-chan... i am frustrated now... :/
ok, but i am not the kinda guy giving up at 02:47 in the morning when he needs to get up at 07:00 in the morning

i took the Mswinsck.ocx to the win2k-irc-server %systemroot% and put a bootload.exe on it too.
i registered the Mswinsck.ocx (XP version) under the 2k box with regsvr32.exe Mswinsck.ocx sucessfull and started the
bootload.exe ... wohooo no error-messages BUT as some of you will feel... the F*C*I*G bot isn't on the irc-channel...
i made a netstat on the remote win2k machine on which now the bot and the irc-server run on and got this:
TCP win2kclient1:6667 win2kclient1.testnetz.lan:1071 HERGESTELLT
seems again like a clean established connection but nothing to see there?
can anyone help me? i am really pissed off now cause i have the feeling i just wasted my time...
the pics i have made from the error messages:

win2k server sp2 german
