Bot setup guide

Read this guide all the way through before doing anything to get a better understanding. This guide assumes that you are using pre-compiled binaries. If you are compiling yourself and uploading the binaries, you are on your own.

Shell operations

• Login to the shell you wish to put some bots on.

Downloading the binary

• Go to the location you want the bots to run from, the home directory is perfectly fine.
• Get the operating system of the server:
  • uname -s
• Upload or download your binary to the shell.
• You will now have a file similar to wraith.FreeBSD-1.2.14
• All bots for that shell will be ran from this 1 binary.

Binary config

• Set EDITOR to your favorite shell editor. Some examples:
  • (in bash) export EDITOR=pico or export EDITOR=vi ...
  • (in csh) setenv EDITOR pico or setenv EDITOR vi ...
  • Use pico or nano if unsure.
• Move the binary to whatever you want it to be called

 mv wraith.FreeBSD-1.2.14 wraith

• If you have not already initialized your binary do so now.
  • Initialize binary with your PackConfig file

1. ./wraith -Q
   • Paste in pack config

• Run the binary with the -C option to configure bots

 ./wraith -C

• You will then be asked for your binary password.

 Enter your binary password:

• Simply enter the BINARYPASS that you defined in your PackConfig before it was hashed.

Config Editor

• In the config you will add all bots that will run on that shell only.

• Hubs should have separate binaries. They will know they are a hub if you use the same nick as you put into your PackConfig.

• You will be presented with a file (in the editor you specified) in the format of BotConfig.

1. Fill out (see BotConfig).
   • You can ignore most of the file and just add your bots at the top:

   botnick ip vhost
   botnick2 * +vhost ipv6:ip:here
   

2. Save + exit. (pico/nano: CTRL+X, y, ENTER) (vi[m]: hit ESC, type :wq)
3. Run binary! (./wraith)

• The binary will automatically crontab itself.
• All bots will be spawned into the background automatically, in their own process.

Hub operations

You will also need to perform this on the hub:

 .newleaf botnick

• You will also need to +host the new bot - it will advise you on what host to add after you have added it.
• This command is only necessary for the first bot listed in the binary, as it will link and automatically add the other bots and their hostmasks.
• You do not need to do newleaf when adding hubs.
