I thought nmap was just chat going along with random stuff, but now that you mention it could be a botnet.

I doubt the `ping 8.8.8.8` was botnet though as its standard to test out your internet to see if you enabled it or not. Chat was trying to pacman -S something. People were encouraging others to type "ping 8.8.8.8"
