botnet 10 messages Grim Fandango Tue, Dec 13, 2005 at 2:42 AM hallo i do have some botnet and infecting new comps all the time for my bussines, but also interested in distributed calculations. do you have any IM contact? Adam Smith Tue, Dec 13, 2005 at 2:51 AM I have IM but prefer email for business. Can you tell me about platform (common OS, cpu, storage space) and size of network? My application requires hosts to communicate amongst each other to share results. This communication must be p2p and not use central server. Grim Fandango Tue, Dec 13, 2005 at 2:54 AM OS - windows always, most easy to infect, cpu, storage is like home computer ~2Mhz+, did never test storage. what kind of calculations you do and how many computers you might need estimate Adam Smith Tue, Dec 13, 2005 at 2:58 AM Purely speculative at this point -- no rigid specifications. Need help deploying. Do you have contacts with experience managing nets (writing software to track status and centralize reporting, not just infect new hosts)? Grim Fandango Tue, Dec 13, 2005 at 3:03 AM i do have programmers who write me botnet software and i have some experience with managment and supporting botnets Adam Smith Tue, Dec 13, 2005 at 3:07 AM How does payment work? What access do I get? Is it shared with others? Grim Fandango Tue, Dec 13, 2005 at 3:13 AM do you have own software or need custom? with such things payment is always via e-gold or something like that, anonymous. Adam Smith Tue, Dec 13, 2005 at 3:17 AM Will have own software when ready. Just probing market now, what rate? Grim Fandango Tue, Dec 13, 2005 at 3:21 AM 100$ for 1000 infected computers with only your bot. Adam Smith Tue, Dec 13, 2005 at 3:24 AM Interesting. Thanks for information, will keep you as contact. Done talking for this morning.
