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

Potassium vector 18 contains TCP stream, raw TCP, and UDP datagram branches. The 8oct1 build also constructs HTTP GET, HEAD and POST requests over TCP; individual branch selection depends on command options.
