IRCnet IRCD 2.0x Reboot Bug

From: abloke () USA NET (A Bloke)
Date: Wed, 15 Dec 1999 15:11:07 -0000


It was found some time ago that few of IRCnet's ircd's 
with +topic module can be rebooted by simply 

doing /quote TOPIC !etC (or-whatever !channel)

This has been already mass-abused by 'EvIL MiRkhAx0rZ' 

and servers have been patched now... so time for it to go public since there is virtually no more threat left
