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

What this method does

Opens ordinary TCP connections and sends payload bytes, with optional connection reuse, receive waits and TLS wrapping. It is not a raw SYN-only method.
