Botnet

Description

P2P Botnet Architecture, which started off as an academic assignment, but quickly developed into an advanced, decentralized Command & Control (C&C) infrastructure.

  • Scaled an initial proof-of-concept assignment into a robust Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network, eliminating single points of failure so the infrastructure cannot be actively taken offline.
  • Leveraged the Libtorrent library to build custom, decentralized communication protocols utilizing the BitTorrent Distributed Hash Table (BT-DHT).
  • Misused the inner workings of certain BT-DHT protocols to conceal the origin of the network, ensuring the C&C operator (the "hacker") cannot be traced or backtracked by analyzing network traffic.

Note: Specific implementation details, source code, and exact methodologies have been strictly redacted for security purposes. If you want further technical information you can contact me.
