I never claimed to be an expert or anything, but what I have done was done using what knowledge I do/did have. At this point it's pretty limited; I was like 13 when I was really at the peak of my programming interest.

I only really knew how to use Visual Basic, which is pretty damned easy to use compared to most other languages anyway. I used to be able to make some basic command line shit in C++ and Pascal, but no way in Hell I could do it now. It's been years since I've done anything involving programming besides a very limited usage of Java and HTML.

True Story, most "crackers" these days just edit the source code (usually c++/java) by changing variables for a pre-written bot. They link the latest greatest exploits/buffer overflows, and use it's already built in port scanning features, which autoscan blocks of ip addresses. After infecting new machines, they join the same channel, and can also be remotely controlled. Mostly used for drdos attacks these days.


On a side note, only a handful of people are going to write one from scratch. 99.9% of the time your going to borrow functions, and why not?

I was just going to say that!
