<h1>Synopsis</h1>

PlugBot project is a security research project by <a href="http://www.redteamsecure.com">RedTeam Security</a>, led by Jeremiah Talamantes. It is designed to be a proof-of-concept / experimental foray into the development of software that could potentially support the concept of a hardware botnet. The project is made up of two components, PlugBot Bot and PlugBot Command & Control. The hardware component to this project is intended to be single-board computers, such as: Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone, Cubox, etc.

<h1>Motivation</h1>

Jeremiah began developing the concept in early 2010 upon the surge of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_computer">plug computers</a> into the tech market. Although the development ceased not soon after, the research aspect continued into his dissertation and finally came to life again in early 2015.

<h1>Bot Installation</h2>

<ol> <li>Copy the code into your web server's web root</li> <li>Open application/config/config.php and change the encryption_key to arbitrary/random characters (line 227)</li> <li>Open application/config/database.php and set your database's hostname, username and password (lines 51 to 53)</li> <li>Import the MySQL script into the database (db_plugbot_client)</li> <li>Ensure the system requirements below are installed</li> </ol>

<h1>Contributors</h1>

Jeremiah is an information security consultant, not a developer. Therefore much help is needed to improve the project all around. If you're proficient in PHP / CodeIgniter and want to contribute, contact contact[at]redteamsecuritytraining[dot]com. Help is greatly needed!
