| Unit193 | Ahaha. :D | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| aedend | :D yeah, I've got a decent password. I just keep seeing the same hit. | 00:00 |
| Unit193 | Troll mass-hitting everyone, you aren't being targetted. | 00:01 |
| aedend | Unit193, I'm not new to IRC, but I don't understand all of it. Whats the point of someone trolling like this? What is there to gain? | 00:02 |
| Unit193 | Get all those people he hit to start making noise/chaos in #freenode. | 00:02 |
| Unit193 | Annoy people, etc. | 00:02 |
| aedend | ah, so just a bored misguided individual looking for something to do I guess | 00:03 |
| Unit193 | Makes a lot of noise, nick spamming, etc, etc. | 00:04 |
| aedend | I have to admit, sometimes when I'm bored I like watching the drama unfold in #freenode. It never fails, someone will say "don't respond" but someone always does | 00:06 |
| Unit193 | Yeeeeeep. In the evenings, it usually gets worse as there's not a whole lot of staff coverage, and kids are off school. | 00:06 |
| aedend | the other night one guy was talking about liberation and freeing ourselves from the bonds of freenode. THAT was interesting | 00:07 |
| Unit193 | They'll say anything to get attention or stir up people. As long as it doesn't happen in any of my channels I'm generally OK enough with it. :P | 00:07 |
| aedend | do you host your own irc server? | 00:08 |
| Unit193 | I'm, uhh, slightly amused with sigyn starts klineing people. >_> | 00:08 |
| Unit193 | I'm referring to channels I OP in. | 00:09 |
| aedend | I see. But yeah, those are amusing as well. They seem to be patient at times with some of them, I think they enjoy the it to some extent | 00:10 |
| Unit193 | More, "if we let it happen here, it won't bleed into other channels as much" | 00:11 |
| aedend | #freenode, the ultimate martyr | 00:12 |
| Unit193 | (But do kind of have a private IRCd too. >_>) Whack-a-mole can get annoying if 1. You technically have ccess in the channel, but not really. 2. User keeps changing proxies, and bounces back. | 00:15 |
| aedend | I don't understand most of that. I'm still trying to learn linux and opensource. IRC is confusing, I've read a lot of material on it | 00:18 |
| aedend | but I get overwhelmed by the networking of it all and the different ways people abuse it | 00:18 |
| aedend | I will say this. Any questions I've had, the folks in #freenode have been good about pointing me in the right direction | 00:20 |
| aedend | for instance, this just took place in freenode. * ChanServ gives channel operator status to eir* | 00:22 |
| aedend | eir removes ban on *!*@128.199.252.248* | 00:22 |
| aedend | eir removes ban on *!*@109.62.216.26* | 00:22 |
| aedend | eir removes channel operator status from eir | 00:22 |
| aedend | I don't understand what just happened there. | 00:23 |
| Unit193 | eir, a bantracker bot, removed two bans. | 00:23 |
| aedend | I apologize, I wasn't very good at forming my question | 00:24 |
| aedend | I understand the ban part. But how did the bot know to remove the ban? | 00:25 |
| Unit193 | After the ban was set, eir PM'd the op that set it (or, it also has a default duration after which it'll remove automatically.) | 00:25 |
| Unit193 | Also, your client formats that interestingly as eir unset the two bans and deopped itself in one move. | 00:26 |
| aedend | I see, thank you. I'm using hexchat if that helps | 00:27 |
| Unit193 | Figured it was likely xchat/hexchat, but knew it was a GUI client. :P | 00:28 |
| Unit193 | mode/#freenode -bbo *!*@128.199.252.248 *!*@109.62.216.26 eir by eir is what I saw. | 00:28 |
| aedend | I learned this from cyberanger the other night /ctcp <nick> version will give info on client used | 00:29 |
| Unit193 | Yep, I have an alias, /ver $nick for it. It's sometimes not generally kosher to do that. | 00:29 |
| aedend | why is that not kosher? | 00:31 |
| cyberanger | Not everyone likes that, and some spoof the data (considering I was answering your very specific question, figured it would be okay) | 00:32 |
| * cyberanger yawns | 00:32 | |
| aedend | what data is there to "spoof" besides having an ipaddr broadcast everywhere, is that really a big deal | 00:34 |
| cyberanger | If I know your IRC client, and version, and know there is an exploit against it... | 00:34 |
| aedend | ok, then what? You going to use some exploit in my irc client to take command of my computer?? | 00:35 |
| cyberanger | but that wouldn't fix the exploit, as for why people don't like it, not sure | 00:35 |
| cyberanger | or at least crash it | 00:35 |
| * aedend is slowly tip toeing away from his computer... | 00:37 | |
| cyberanger | lol | 00:37 |
| cyberanger | I didn't mean me, more an in general | 00:37 |
| Unit193 | Yes you did. :P | 00:37 |
| cyberanger | and I don't know of any exploits for your client (in part cause I don't know your client really) | 00:38 |
| aedend | you seem like a white hat kind of person. Going abroad to help people connect to the internet is a good thing... | 00:38 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: Hey, that one time was cause wrst was trying to IRC and drive, I felt obliged to make the roads safe. | 00:39 |
| cyberanger | ;-) | 00:39 |
| aedend | cyberanger, we were talking about foxyproxy the other night. I had a question about that | 00:42 |
| Unit193 | aedend: Oh, and didn't see any for hexchat. | 00:42 |
| aedend | Unit193, exploits? | 00:43 |
| Unit193 | Yep. Saw one for hexchat on Windows, but it was a local exploit. | 00:43 |
| aedend | cool, thanks Unit193 | 00:44 |
| aedend | Unit193, I found this for irssi http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-1229/Irssi.html | 00:45 |
| aedend | old list it seems | 00:46 |
| aedend | Good morning everyone! I'm not a morning person so I'm pretending to be enthusiastic. Kind of self reverse psychology | 10:14 |
| aedend | but really, Good morning. Hope everyone has a good day | 10:14 |
| aedend | tough crowd... | 22:41 |
