That is the point of the protocol: to be an insecure plaintext protocol. And because you have worked with IRCd doesn't make you a security expert on it.


It's not always plaintext, and the fact that it's plaintext doesn't make it inherently insecure.

Multiple IRCds, btw.

I was making a point ... and that point was, that just because you know something about servers, services, or protocols doesn't mean that you understand the security risks with it. I, on the other hand, have done all of those things and have a lot of experience with "hacking". And not the script kiddie, "lets download a point-and-click port flooder" kind of hacking either. That doesn't count.


Oh fun. Mindtzar and I used to automatically root 1000s of Chinese/Taiwanese hosts back when we were nice and 'tarded. What does this have to do with the security of a protocol?

and you still have a protocol with no built-in security

I guess EV1 should disallow HTTP too.

Most modern IRCds have full hostmasking. I don't know where you're going with this one..

information or sending you .exe's cuz you're a dumbass and you accepted the file.


IRC has no built-in file transfer method. DCC is not part of the IRC protocol.
