Application Layer:BotNet Messages (PACKET)
Message Id:0x0A
Message Name:BOTNET_CLIENT_VERSION
Direction:Client to Server
Used By:(nothing or unknown)
Message Format:
(does not include protocol header)		 
(UINT32) Client awareness level
(UINT32) Client capabilities

Remarks

Set client awareness level and capabilities.

This message is supported as of server revision 4.

Client awareness level:

This is a value used by revision 4 servers to add functionality but keep backwards compatibility. Fields marked with awl: 1 in this documentation require the client to send this message with Client awareness level set to 0x01 for them to be received in server to client messages.

  • 0x00: awl of 0 (default).
  • 0x01: awl of 1.

Clients should continue to parse assuming an old awl until they receive S>C 0x09 BOTNET_CLIENT_VERSION as confirmation of their requested change.

Client capabilities:

Combination of bitwise flags specifying other settings the client would like.

  • 0x00: No flags set.
  • 0x01: Await server confirmation of database changes (if clear [the default], the client is expected to update the local database immediately and expects the server to countermand prohibited changes).
