hi an area that I am basically "stupid" on is botnets. Not what they are but "how" they work through IRC as the control center. Not just that but the various modern programs used. I am aware for instance LOIC can be used to connect to an IRC channel.. but, how then does the "herder" do the job from IRC..how does he issue commands that all the computers connected act upon, etc. ? My curiosity has just got the best of me and I would like some pointers to good material that can feed it.
Sorry for the "troll" like post but I really would like to understand this further. Have done a number of Google searching but have hope someone here has done personal research. -- been great, thanks RandyM a.k.a System _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
