Infected w/ http controlled botnet, looking for url scanner
A friend of mine has been infected by what we assume is a zombie trojan running off a http control panel. Before he wipes it, however, he wants to find out what it is to see if he can remove it manually, and setup a trap for the botnet owner. So what we're looking for is a program that can randomly go through all possible urls on the host machine till it hits a paydirt, or more preferably, till it finds one that is different from the others. I was rather surprised at the relative lack of such utilities on google searches, so i was wondering if anyone here knows where one can be found.

Oh no, it's almost certain he's infected, and i've tried most normal methods. We have one that might possibly identify it, but as i've stated he wants to get back at the botnet owner before he gets rid of it. It's his own peculiar sense of justice. And as for the legality, i don't see why not?
It's his machine, and there already exists port scanners, and brute force for almost every document encryption imaginable, which are legal to use as long as you own the machien/documents in question. Removing it isn't going to be a problem, as his computer needs to be wiped and re-installed anyway.
