I recently gave a lecture on DDoS in my Network OS class. I demonstrated a simple bot on the computers in the class. I also demonstrated how portable devices are capable of running bots as well.
I used Android Scripting Environment (ASE) for the demo. The commands I gave it where text, call, speak aloud, and vibrate. The only draw back ASE has is no real GUI support. I can’t wait for the day when OpenGL ES is ported to python. Anyway, ASE allows access to almost all of the phones featurtes. Here is a link to the API ref: http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/wiki/ApiReference

I hope I’m not too late to say, “Good Job!”
Oh how I love Android… Oh how I love IRC… ^_^
Android+IRC=amazing. I gave a demo of an android botnet in my network security class that everyone went crazy over. And thank you for liking my stuff =). I am thinking about doing a tutorial series for android and ASE.
Wait a second…. did I actually get infected on my older phone? Wow, I should be more careful next time ^_^’
nice work, thx 🙂
Your welcome. I was thinking about having it log into a private channel and update my GPS location when requested. Could get more information about the phone too, like battery life, or send a complete link to google maps of my location or something.
Which IRC client were you using on your phone?
The script posted would be considered the IRC client. I wrote it to access and use IRC via Python programming language.
Well… now that I want to get back into SL4A/ASE/whatever it is called now, I could make my own IRC client with it *wonders if that one irc libary coded in Python that’s found online will work for our Android phones (there’s only one way to find out xD)*
Good luck with life, and I assume you already thought of making a bot that uses the Text-to-Speech engine to say random stuff instead of the normal notification tone when you recieve a text message. That idea is just for humor of course 😉
