[00:00] Ahaha. :D [00:00] :D yeah, I've got a decent password. I just keep seeing the same hit. [00:01] Troll mass-hitting everyone, you aren't being targetted. [00:02] 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] Get all those people he hit to start making noise/chaos in #freenode. [00:02] Annoy people, etc. [00:03] ah, so just a bored misguided individual looking for something to do I guess [00:04] Makes a lot of noise, nick spamming, etc, etc. [00:06] 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] Yeeeeeep. In the evenings, it usually gets worse as there's not a whole lot of staff coverage, and kids are off school. [00:07] the other night one guy was talking about liberation and freeing ourselves from the bonds of freenode. THAT was interesting [00:07] 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 [00:08] do you host your own irc server? [00:08] I'm, uhh, slightly amused with sigyn starts klineing people. >_> [00:09] I'm referring to channels I OP in. [00:10] 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 [00:11] More, "if we let it happen here, it won't bleed into other channels as much" [00:12] #freenode, the ultimate martyr [00:15] (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. [00:18] 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] but I get overwhelmed by the networking of it all and the different ways people abuse it [00:20] I will say this. Any questions I've had, the folks in #freenode have been good about pointing me in the right direction [00:22] for instance, this just took place in freenode. * ChanServ gives channel operator status to eir* [00:22] eir removes ban on *!*@128.199.252.248* [00:22] eir removes ban on *!*@109.62.216.26* [00:22] eir removes channel operator status from eir [00:23] I don't understand what just happened there. [00:23] eir, a bantracker bot, removed two bans. [00:24] I apologize, I wasn't very good at forming my question [00:25] I understand the ban part. But how did the bot know to remove the ban? [00:25] 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.) [00:26] Also, your client formats that interestingly as eir unset the two bans and deopped itself in one move. [00:27] I see, thank you. I'm using hexchat if that helps [00:28] Figured it was likely xchat/hexchat, but knew it was a GUI client. :P [00:28] mode/#freenode -bbo *!*@128.199.252.248 *!*@109.62.216.26 eir by eir is what I saw. [00:29] I learned this from cyberanger the other night /ctcp version will give info on client used [00:29] Yep, I have an alias, /ver $nick for it. It's sometimes not generally kosher to do that. [00:31] why is that not kosher? [00:32] 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 [00:34] what data is there to "spoof" besides having an ipaddr broadcast everywhere, is that really a big deal [00:34] If I know your IRC client, and version, and know there is an exploit against it... [00:35] ok, then what? You going to use some exploit in my irc client to take command of my computer?? [00:35] but that wouldn't fix the exploit, as for why people don't like it, not sure [00:35] or at least crash it [00:37] * aedend is slowly tip toeing away from his computer... [00:37] lol [00:37] I didn't mean me, more an in general [00:37] Yes you did. :P [00:38] and I don't know of any exploits for your client (in part cause I don't know your client really) [00:38] you seem like a white hat kind of person. Going abroad to help people connect to the internet is a good thing... [00:39] Unit193: Hey, that one time was cause wrst was trying to IRC and drive, I felt obliged to make the roads safe. [00:39] ;-) [00:42] cyberanger, we were talking about foxyproxy the other night. I had a question about that [00:42] aedend: Oh, and didn't see any for hexchat. [00:43] Unit193, exploits? [00:43] Yep. Saw one for hexchat on Windows, but it was a local exploit. [00:44] cool, thanks Unit193 [00:45] Unit193, I found this for irssi http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-1229/Irssi.html [00:46] old list it seems [10:14] Good morning everyone! I'm not a morning person so I'm pretending to be enthusiastic. Kind of self reverse psychology [10:14] but really, Good morning. Hope everyone has a good day [22:41] tough crowd...
