Main Pipeline

\item \textbf{Setup of Botnet Infrastructure:} The first step entails setting up the infrastructure for the distributed botnet. This includes deploying the master server, UI server, and ensuring communication channels between them.

User Interface Development: Develop the user interface (UI) component using React and VITE. The UI will provide functionalities for users to input target URLs, start and stop bot activity, and visualize the status code distribution.

Bot Implementation Implement the bots using C++ and Crow C++ framework. Bots will establish connections with the master server upon detection and notify readiness to perform tasks.

Master-Bot Communication: Establish communication protocols between the master and bots using Cpr library for making HTTP requests. The master will send target URLs to available bots, and bots will periodically report status code distribution and performance metrics back to the master.

Data Storage and Analysis: Utilize SQLite3 database to store target URLs and bot performance data. Analyze the data to identify trends in status code distribution and measure server performance under different load conditions.

Security Implementation: Implement security protocols using JWT to authenticate communication between the master and bots, mitigating the risk of unauthorized access and botnet hijacking.

Testing and Optimization: Conduct thorough testing of the botnet infrastructure and user interface to ensure functionality and stability. Optimize performance based on test results and user feedback.
