This is extremely easy the process is called a bnc (aka bouncer) this application allows them to use the reverse dns of a host that is running on to mask their true host. Most common bouncers are psybnc. The cost of these accounts range from a few bucks up to maybe around 20.00 depending on the quality of the host. If you want to set one up your self you will just need to have control over your ptr records (most isps will not allow this). I suggest you use google to find hosts of this service. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Wozniak [mailto:dwozniak () exs esb com] Sent: Friday, February 25, 2005 5:20 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: anonymous irc connection via shell? I've been using IRC for a year or so and i've noticed certain users have "masked" or completely removed their sensitive host information such as the ip and hostname. Or else they're using an anonymous shell account (proxy?). My question is how do they do this?
