| With regard to the users with eggdrop CTCP versions, it is possible that they're connected to a ulined IRCd which would explain why theyre not showing in /map. After all one of the servers has 3 servers connected to it (according to /lusers) that includes 1 visible server, services, and one other that could literally be any kind of server. |

As for eggdrops... well, here's the thing. You can only connect 1 eggdrop at a time per process. Each would need 1 conf file for it and 1 process. I doubt most shell host would allow you to run 30 or more processes JUST for eggdrops. The alternative (and it can be done with TCL), is that you could write multiple sockets, but then again, it would show up as a real user on the connect server. The socket eggdrops would also have no version reply unless coded to do so. |
Correct, but only on most shell accounts, if the user has even a cheap linode VPS or dedi this theory is then then moot because they could have virtually unlimited bots. VPS's are very cheap these days and you don't need 30 IPs to run 30 bots. You've seen with sahelper on our network that eggdrops can quickly bounce back including opering and identifying, getting vhosts etc. That is a very simple init setting in the config file using putquick so these eggdrops could easily have faked hosts, they could be hidden opers, identify to NickServ, etc. They could have an endless amount of configuration that we simply can't see as non-opers. |
