The botnets will log into a usually private IRC channel, (as a bot) and start issuing commands. IRC is also used to distribute links to personal information that the botnets gather. Like, dishing out compromised credit card numbers. These channels are usually by invite only, or require a key. fabrizio On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 1:52 AM, M.D.Mufambisi <mufambisi () gmail com> wrote:

How are commands issued via IRC?
