Hey guys!

I'm trying to get this script to work, but I can't seem to make that happen. I've tinkered with it quite a bit, but I keep getting kick backs. When I look it up online and ask buddies, I'm told it should function the way it is. Below is what I'm told is wrong. I understand it can't connect to the host (I had my information and such in there to make connecting possible). I just don't understand why it's saying specific lines are wrong.

Could not establish connection to host
[-] Error Connecting
Traceback (most recent call last):

 File "/root/Documents/Python/Serpent.py", line 30, in botnetCommand
   output = client.send_command(command) #To get output
 File "/root/Documents/Python/Serpent.py", line 24, in send_command
   self.session.sendline(cmd)

       self.host = host

       self.session = self.connect()

   def connect(self):#connect method
       try: #incase connect fails
           x = pxssh.pxssh() #Set x as a variable for pxssh
           x.login(self.host, self.user, self.password)

   for client in botNet:
       output = client.send_command(command) #To get output
       print ('

        print ('[+]' + output)

def addClient (host, user, password): #Adding client to botnet
    client = Client(host, user, password)
    botNet.append(client) #Adding client session to botnet

botNet = []
addClient()

It looks like session is not connected, or has no method named sendline
Try adding some print statements (or run in debugger)
that is a sure way to see that you are getting the results that you expect.

Actually, looking at it a bit more, you're calling addClient with no arguments
in your example code, but the error message doesn't match, it shows an 'ls -la' command

please show code that matches error!
