[01:11] sigh. [02:08] ubottu: tell patrickya about register [02:11] hi. might want to look at gollum in #ubuntu [02:12] UdontKnow: already on it [02:12] Erm, since when do we not autoban mibbits? [02:12] Ah, there we go. [02:28] Flannel: uh? it banned it immediately [02:29] LjL: It took a good few seconds [02:29] I was looking for immediately. Otherwise I'd have to do it manually, etc. [02:29] 3 seconds on my screen [02:29] Flannel: err, are you talking about this one? [02:29] but, It happened, so it's all good. [02:29] [03:12:42] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Flannel [02:29] I think that is reasonable? [02:29] [03:12:43] <-- Gollum has left this channel (requested by Flannel: "you should know better"). [02:29] [03:12:43] *** ChanServ sets mode: -o Flannel [02:30] [03:12:43] *** FloodBot3 sets mode: +b-e *!*@208-46-75-50.dia.static.qwest.net gollum!i=d02e4b32@gateway/web/ajax/mibbit.com/x-e60a0413b1de36c3 [02:30] same second on my screen... [02:30] LjL: Must be lag then on floodbots side. [02:30] no [02:30] Flannel: not if its the same on ljl's screen [02:30] that's lag between freenode servers [02:30] Whatever. [02:30] Flannel: will be between servers/you and server [02:30] It happened, that's all that mattered. [02:30] well [02:30] But, there was enough time for me to come here, type that, etc. [02:30] lag between freenode servers sometimes matters - a lot [02:31] Which also includes probably a second for me to not see an immediate one. [02:33] LjL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/144537/ [02:33] Flannel: we don't doubt that there may appear to have been several seconds between the kick and the floodbots taking action according to your screen. [02:33] Flannel: well that doesn't have seconds, but the "yes but" and following message happened after the ban on my server. [02:34] Flannel: what server are you on? [02:35] Pricey: LjL told me I was lying!! *whine* [02:36] wolfe? That's what it says on the MOTD [02:36] Flannel: then it's wolfe - although you can /whois flannel to check that more quickly [02:36] Flannel: its not a matter of you lying, its just your interpretation of what you see isn't correct afaik. [02:37] :0 [02:38] who's afraid of the big bad LjL [02:39] u [02:39] :O [02:42] If your ready for wreslemania 25 than give me a shit yeah [02:42] DRweasel: how about you go to hell instead [02:42] and stop spamming channels like this [02:42] theres no chance in hell i am going to hell [02:42] i thought thats trolling [02:43] ethier way i dont troll nor spam [02:43] If your ready for wreslemania 25 than give me a hell yeah [02:44] not smart to do this in freenode channel as well [02:50] Pricey, fun fact by the way - a couple of days ago while we were probably all sleeping, we had an attempted attack with i-don't-know-how-many-but-many clones from the same IP. 40 of them managed their way into #ubuntu, the rest were +J'd out [02:50] Pricey: they didn't say anything because that IP was known, and already muted in #ubuntu [02:50] Pricey: still, +J with many servers linked => many bots can join [02:52] Seeker`: feel better now? [02:56] LjL: I wonder how seven fares. [02:56] does seven has +J? i've forgotten.. *looks* [02:57] Pricey: dunno, i have the floodbots running in there, but i've never done some real, uh, stress testing [02:57] yeah it does [02:57] Pricey: you can join right now and you should find the floodbots in #ubuntu with +j set [02:57] ah it has +j [02:58] Pricey: well, no, +j isn't set. still, it should be. [02:59] uhm actually it might be set but my client isn't showing it... [02:59] LjL: much [03:00] Pricey: one thing that's annoying with seven wrt my bots is that +q is not +b [03:00] seven has +j x:y and works more simply than +J here. might be something odd with the way that format has changed [03:00] hehe right [03:00] Pricey: well, i'm not sure it's really "more simply" honestly [03:00] but i'll be content if it turns out to be "better" [03:01] not that our +J is too bad... it wouldn't be if we only had one server. [03:01] "x joins in y seconds"? [03:01] but we have, uh [03:01] 31 [03:01] I'd love for you to explain hyperion's way of doing it... :P [03:01] so multiply 31 by 5 [03:01] and you get how many clones can potentially join #ubuntu :) [03:03] Pricey: we have 2,5. that means that every time someone joins, limit++ [03:03] Pricey: when limit==5, joining is not allowed [03:03] Pricey: every 2 seconds, limit-- [03:04] Pricey: then on top of that, the floodbots detect mass join using a completely different (and kind of overzealous) algorithm [03:04] So it is, I'm sure it didn't use to be that simple 8-) [03:05] Pricey: which is intended to work so that even if a botnet joins slowly, a pattern of "too many users joined in the past minute or so" will ring alarm bells [03:05] I think it involved the phase of the moon at one point [03:05] Seeker`: that's still pending implementation [03:05] Seeker`: but, there *is* a fair bit of randomness involved - by design [03:06] basically i tuned it to statistics i had of #ubuntu [03:06] "how often does it happen that more than N users join in a minute?" [03:06] if the answer is "almost never", then N is a good trigger [03:06] but just *how often* the bots check is partly random [03:06] so it won't really always be one minute [03:07] i didn't want to make it possible to study the exact behavior of the floodbots and make a botnet that joins at exactly the rate needed to not trigger the alarm [03:08] fair enough [03:08] that does mean we get some false positives once in a while, but oh well, it's 30 seconds of +rR, and it doesn't happen *so* often [03:09] you could always say that if a user joins a channel and speaks within 20 seconds (for example) they are less likely to be part of a flood [03:10] Except if theyre flooding by joining and saying stuff immediately [03:11] Flannel: the floodbots also have spam detection afaik [03:11] Flannel: well in that case they wouldn't join slowly to begin with [03:11] Seeker`: i could do a lot of things [03:11] LjL: Unless they were programmed to do it like ninjas... [03:11] Seeker`: a pretty solid criterion could be to give less weight to identified users [03:12] yeah [03:12] sounds reasonable [03:12] Seeker`: i could even check the nickname, and determine how likely it is to be a randomly generated nickname [03:12] (yes that can be done, just like we "can spot" [sometimes] a randomly generated clonebot nickname) [03:12] but there's laziness in the way [03:12] heh [03:12] you could also check the bantracker [03:13] slow [03:13] part of why i forked the watchbot was so i could make "slow" things happen [03:13] they must not happen in the floodbots [03:13] at least unless i rewrote them from scratch to be multithreaded - no thanks [03:14] heh [03:15] bedtime i think [03:15] yeah me too [03:15] night [04:37] p_quarles called the ops in #kubuntu () [04:51] kady called the ops in #ubuntu+1 () === Ursinha is now known as jorjao === jorjao is now known as Ursinha [09:47] thefeds, how may we help you [09:50] I don't need help. [09:50] Just whenever I join "Debian Servers" it sometimes joins this [09:50] thefeds, okay, then please exit the channel. [09:51] for some strange reason [09:51] ok [09:51] maybe it's a ubuntu bug [09:51] no [09:51] sorry Ubuntu Servers [09:51] it's because I have forwarded you to this channel [09:51] y? [09:51] take #ubuntu off your auto-join list [09:51] why did it forward me here? [09:51] and not #ubuntu [09:51] you are banned. [09:51] oh [09:51] thefeds: I've forwarded you to this channel because I'm concerned by your persistant offtopic behaviour in the ubuntu channels, and your troll like behaviour in other channels, [09:52] because you demonstrated refusal to play by the rules of the channel [09:52] more than troll like. [09:52] thefeds: I'm also concerned as you do this questionable behaviour as the feds - then change nicks to "cyptoplams" which is a registered nick [09:52] thefeds: 1.) why do you feel the need to persistantly question people over random things like relgion 2.) why do you behave like this then swap nicks [09:52] thefeds is a registered nick as well. [09:53] that is the first time I have seen it identified [09:54] having ubuntu auto login as root, saying ubuntu is promoting religion, suggesting ubuntu cd's be bundled with cigarettes, and on and on. [09:54] yes, that type of behaviour [09:54] thefeds: if you could explain your behaviour that would be an excellent start please. [09:55] ignoring numerous warnings to stop with same nonsense. [09:55] ok, lets give him a chance to explain [09:55] thefeds, any explanation for this? [09:59] thefeds, you're not going to get many chances to explain before we lose any trust of what you say [10:00] ok whatever I'll make a new nick and you won't know who I am anymore [10:00] I'll stop trolling [10:00] I'll take that threat to freenode [10:00] thanks [10:00] and thats where the conversations ends for me [10:00] bye [10:00] thefeds, ban evasion? [10:00] bazhang: just leave it - thats the stance that wants to be taken, thats fine [10:01] thefeds: please leave the channel [10:01] danke [10:01] ikonia, his statement seems to have borne out the threat of future ban evasion [10:01] I'll speak to freenode about his two cloaked accounts [10:03] Lads, just one thing, IMHO, if the the op who banned the the person is around, perhaps its best for the sake of clarity that they deal with it unless they ask for help. IMHO, it must be confusing to come in here and have a lot of ops jump on you. [10:04] jussi01, as I did. [10:09] jussi01, they dont come in with 'i was banned by $op' shirts or anything though [10:10] I mentioned him throughout the day yesterday, and was the one who finally banned him. [10:22] @btlogin [10:23] * [thefeds] (n=user@c122-106-176-2.belrs3.nsw.optusnet.com.au [10:23] before he was cloaked [10:23] just checked that to make sure he wasn't in the channel, which he doesn't appear to be [11:08] wHY can't i configure a HP netbook online with ubuntu??? [14:25] uh oh [14:25] "haha"'s ident reminds me of something [14:26] ... and i guess from the exchange, that he gave sudo passwd root in pm [14:26] ... [14:28] ktebit: how can we help you?
