Zeus Botnet Full Tutorial

This Tutorial is for education purposes ONLY and I am NOT responsible in any way on how you use the information provided and what you do with the files. Thank you and enjoy reading.


First of all I want to tell you that ZeuS Bot is the most illegal bot out there. It is the only bot that connects to a webhost and not to a IRC channel or a PC. It is highly illegal as it is considered as a banking trojan as it logs every internet activity to a database. Well lets start.



Step 1:
First of all you need offshore hosting, preferably bulletproof.
The best i've found so far is SANTREX and VieFireHosting.
Sign up with santrex- http://santrex.net/
Think of a domain that is not easily tracked though if possible.

Step 2:
Uploading the files.

1. Go and login into your CPanel X.

2. Go to File Manager.

3. Go and create a directory of your choice.

4. Upload the upload.zip to the directory created.
[spoiler][/spoiler]


5. After that extract the files.

6. Chmod the directory /install/ and /system/ to 777. Also the whole directory.

Step 3:
Creating the Database.
1. Go to MySQL Databases in your CPanel.

Step 5:
Making the bot.
1. Navigate to your ZeuS files and open config.txt
Replace the link where it says with your link. Also the encryption key you used before.

2. Open the zsb.exe
The builder also has a remover so if you test your server on your own pc you can just remove it with a mouse click.
Click on Builder.

Then click on Build Config. Save the file.
Click Build Loader. Save the file.

Now go and upload cfg.bin and bt.exe to the same directory as the panel.
Also you can delete the /install/ folder since the panel has been installed in the previous step.
