A Proof-of-Concept SMS-controlled botnet I made in grad school.

It's my understanding that this was one of the first - if not the first - open-source botnets for Android. The code I've uploaded is pretty clearly a POC. It's not the full code - I'm obviously not interested in posting functional payloads online. I also, by choice, didn't include a zero-day or way to get the user to install the code. I will testify some existed at the time I wrote this and that I successfully used them. I'll leave re-creating or finding them to you, Dear Reader.

Anyway, here's the root infrastructure. Essentially, SMSReceiver would do some trickery to steal an SMS message and see if it's actually a command for our slave. Splicer would parse that command and pass relevant info along to the correct payload. The payload will then execute the command.

As of April 2019, I do not believe the method I uploaded here will work anymore. I'll leave any updates as an exercise for the reader.
