EFNET is a complete joke. Many of the IRC OPs *ARE* script kiddies and packet warriors. Just look at core, exodus, etc. The number of servers are shrinking... those are are left are starting to close open I: access. Those that are still around after this get DDoSed. Even if you can get on IRC, you can't stay connected for any of a myriad of reasons -- you're idling 3 seconds, well *this* server doesn't allow that, so your entire network will be K: lined. You changed your nicks twice in 3 weeks, that's a nick flood -- you're gone. Your login id has mixed case or digits -- hell, you *must* be a flood bot. You have more than one connection (nevermind that we ops have 1/2a dozen or more, just so we can stay connected), you're cloning -- you're outta here. It's just a joke. Even if you can get on IRC, the /ops will /kill you to take your nick... channel.. whatever. Of course, they swear up and down that they just don't do this -- and to refer to some mid '90s post on IRC myths... whataver. But, alas, since this *is* vuln-dev... lets talk about something on topic. How about the rabid insistance that no one IRC as root? and what about identd? People are *forced* to open identd just to get on IRC (reliably?). www.spy.org/Lamer_Time It was true then, it's true now. Scott ps: isn't it ironic -- ERIS FREE ... ya, right! pps: hemmet wasn't the first and it won't be the last.
