mIRC services bot!?!

OK...this was just so funny/stupid I had to post it...
This setup may work...but..I recommend highly against using mIRC for network services....unless its a raw-sock..and even then...its running on winblowz...so..ya..

For the safety of that server (deserved or not) and the fact that network names are supposed to be reserved for Network Announcements, I've replaced all the instances I could see of the network name with "{*}"

(BTW, you can say the network name, just not in the _Subject_ line)

*shrugz*

Given that its mIRC v6.03 - and therefore vulnerable to attack by the DCC exploit....its still not a good idea to give away server-names...

Could be a faked version reply. Not uncommon for bots to return a different unix, windows or mac client when versioned.

True...but...given what I know of the crew running that net...and...the fact that its a client on an ircd named services.network.com, AND the fact that the one of the dudes who set up the network said himself he knows nothing about linux (the only commands he knows are ./config and ./unreal start|stop|rehash|etc <-- his words not mine) - mIRC is hard to change the version reply on....I highly doubt it is a faked reply....

In any event, I think writing your own services bot is admirable. I've written my own in PHP for ircu (p10), and it's not incredibly easy. mIRC may not have been the best choice for the job, but if it's what you know, why not? Smile

Writing ones own services bot(s) is extremely admirable...but one should really consider options, connecting a raw socket with mIRC is not that difficult, and using a vulnerable version of the client is not a very good idea =\

Conferenceroom has nice server bots... they NEVER have to be started from a shell... and dont need to be crontab'd... they are built into the IRCd.. all you do is /adminserv bot <nick> add ...adminserv isnt an actual client, its just a command

I used to have a windows 3.11 notepad.exe which would write files back in proper binary form. So I was able to edit binary files like mIRC32.exe and replace the version information (and other various text) with whatever I wanted.

So you don't even need to use a hex editor.

Yes, it's borning a soap of services, over a diamond crossplatform for comunnication in relay.

We speak about system integration.

iServices
XChat
ShareDesktops
Tools like Gnome meeting
Servers X crossplatform
