@iiii Sadly, it's not so easy anymore. Back in the days - the MSN api. Sending exe files. When that was blocked sending COM / PIF files. Also everyone used outlook back then and you could just send an e-mail to the complete address list. I did write a botnet when i was younger. The bots all connected to my home ip. Hihi
I wrote some simple pen test scripts that automatically get executed on every ip in my fail2ban log.
Ip count: 2500+ in a few days. Probably victims of botnet. Some have mysql, postgres, smb open and many of them support user/pass auth on their ssh.
The scripts were a lot of fun to write but I don't expect much results.
