I wish to set up an IRCD on my server for botnet, but I don't know which software would be best for this purpose...
Operating System is win2k...
Just paste some download links and comment on why it is the best..
Thank you.

I have used unrealircd also. I had no problems with it or something. It's a great program.

yeah, please do post.. That is modded specifically to protect Botnet, right?
Anyone tried this one? http://www.xs4all.nl/~beware3/irc/

here I will post some sentences I collected regarding Botnets.. Some might be usefull to further mod it..

*** Admin can +m the channel and use his op status to talk. Since you cannot talk, then you cannot directly control the bots.

*** Or, they will set the bots so that they will not activate/respond unless the person talking is an op.

*** If you do steal a botnet, just make sure the owner doesnt see the command you use to update their files, or he can download your pack, and then do just what you did

*** Someone can sniff your password unless you use a P2P botnetwork and use SHA-1 hashes with a master pass on different network "farms". There are botfarmers that will know if something is up and actually DDOS on alert.

*** I know theres some botnets where the password will depend on your nick and hostmask. ie make a md5 of your current nick!ident@host, and this is your password.

*** Only opers could see nicklists. No join/part messages, and other ways to save bandwidth

*** it'd be far better to write your own P2P code and have the bots communicate over that than connect to a shell account running IRCd.

*** most non essential cmds should be gutted.

I have IRCD but I wonder how to install service! on the server

[wizy]

I dont mean to be rude, but unreal is horrible, especially for a botnet.

I have a massivly modded ratbox-ircd. if your not an oper you cant do ANYTHING, nor can you see other users. join a channel and no one is there, but if your an oper, you see it all. no commands from the /stats range, or like /list /who and so on, are available to you unless your an oper.

That is the only way to do it.

And you have to host it on something you dont own or have a link to (a friends server wont work.) Next you have to make sure never to direct connect to it, use proxies in chains...

Unrealircd indeed seems to work fine @ my mate's place.. I dont know a thing 'bout ircd

[extreme]

I already installed Unreal, but I might reconsider, if you can just upload your config file Wizy.. SO I don't have to wast time on modding it myself..

[wizy]

Its not just a config file. mine also saves on a LOT of bandwidth. With one of them installed, and 1000 bots on it, total bandwidth use (with no actual commands being sent, just in the idle time) its going about 1KB/s.

But it doesnt run on windows, its for linux. If you want to talk to me about getting it setup private message me, im not just going to post it in here. Especially since I will have to tell you a few things about its setup and use for it to work well for you...

[CloudyOne]

Yeah, see my ircd is good for running "invis" but it has no security whatsoever :/

services dont seem to like it, half the time my ircop doesn't work.

Seriously i need an alternative,

if ud like ill post the one i moded

Please do, i would love to secure my server, or more less have one that actually works half decent.

You can't post a tutorial on how to do a botnet, then you'd become a script kiddy, that's lame. But stoney, you'd be doing many a favor by posting your modded version.

[Loxy]

I'm going to have to agree with wizy on this one and say UnrealIRCd is horrible. (for botnet or not). I also use modded ircd-ratbox. For win32 I would suggest Hybrid IRCd 7.x. It proves stable under 4000+ users and can be modded fairly easily. Hope this informs *someone ; )
