In August 2004, He met Ancheta in a channel called “bottalk” who typically went under the nickname “ir Resilient”. He quitted school and spent much of his days coding in C++ while frequently chatting with hackers on IRC rooms. SoBe (nickname), a partner-to-be with Ancheta, was a 16-year-old boy at the time from Boca Raton, a town in Florida. In a 3 months span starting in June 2004, he rented out his machines to 10 clients, profiting around 3000$ by payments made through PayPal.

The manual would also include the malicious code that would allow the botnets to spread or propagate.īy the end of July, he controlled at least 100,000 bots. He set up guidelines/manual on how many zombies would be needed to crash corporate websites depending on size and added rent rates with a minimum of 10K zombie machines at four cents apiece.
He managed to set up a channel in IRC called “botz4sale” to rent his botnet army in order to make some money from it. After that, he began secretly hijacking tens of thousands of computer machines nationwide, including two military servers. What was likely to lure Ancheta into using it, was that it was quite easy to customize it and play with its features. Its malicious code is designed to spread widely across the Internet with ease. In June 2004, Ancheta while surfing on the Web, he found the quite common computer worm rxbot.
However, his life path would go in the opposite direction of what he wanted to be when he discovered the botnet world. He worked at an internet café at the time, but he wanted to join the military according to his family. He later proceeded to enter an alternate program for students with academic or behavioral problems and eventually earned a high school equivalency certificate. In 2001 he decided to drop out from the Downey high school in California, where he attended the last couple of years.
Jeanson James Ancheta was born in Downey, California in 1985.
