Description
This module allows remote command execution on an IRC Bot developed by xdh.
This perl bot was caught by Conor Patrick with his shellshock honeypot server
and is categorized by Markus Zanke as an fBot (Fire & Forget - DDoS Bot). Matt
Thayer also found this script which has a description of LinuxNet perlbot.
The bot answers only based on the servername and nickname in the IRC message
which is configured on the perl script thus you need to be an operator on the IRC
network to spoof it and in order to exploit this bot or have at least the same ip
to the config.
