Hi all! I figure it's about time NSE supported the most important internet protocol ever: Internet Relay Chat. :) The script is essentially a full IRC client implementation and will handle nick collisions, prePONGing, etc, properly. Daemons it works properly with: * hybrid * ratbox * ircnet's * bahamut * unreal Daemons that are TOO BROKEN to support: * freenode's dancer (or whatever it is now) This script gives output like: PORT STATE SERVICE REASON 6667/tcp open irc syn-ack | IRC Server Info: Server: irc.servercentral.net | Version: ircd-ratbox-2.2.6(20070505_0-23918). irc.servercentral.net | Servers/Ops/Chans/Users: 60/424/31010/62451 | Lservers/Lusers: 2/3264 | Uptime: 42 days, 0:31:04 | Source host: S01060014c21a0e54.ok.shawcable.net |_ Source ident: NONE or BLOCKED Lots of information here, most of which probably only makes sense if you're an IRC user. Notice that your source host and ident are shown as they appear to the IRC server which could be handy for vhost testing, discovering address masking, and so on. I know IRC isn't very trendy these days and seems to be declining in popularity. Still, IRC is decentralised, secure (when encrypted with FiSH etc), open-standards based, and has countless different client/server implementations with huge amounts of fascinating features. But, most importantly, those of us that like it like it a lot. Best, Doug /join #2,000
