Country-level precision. botnet.cl stores the target country, never a city or coordinates, so the marker sits at the country's center.

Potassium vector 22 sends crafted TCP PSH/ACK packets with TCP options and configurable payload bytes. Recovered in build 8oct1; detailed payload and destination-port options remain unverified.
