I'll have a look at them tomorrow.

They tend to be fairly active during the day, US time and fairly packed with
newbies in the evening, US time.  I'm not there much during the day UK time,
so I can't speak to that.

I will say that the public channels don't have a lot of hacking talk, as
there is a lot of interest in people doing illegal stuff and the experienced
people don't want to condone that.  However, there are many people who will
gladly chat via /msg about anything you like, once you're there enough for
them to trust you.

The bunch of newbies is what I'd like to avoid but reckon I might
recognise a few people and hopefully some people will recognise me.

Thanks

I never got into IRC but now I'm working at home most of the time I'm
thinking of trying it again so I can have the equivalent of shouting "anyone
know X" across the office.

Can anyone recommend a good channel populated by pen testers active during
the day, preferably UK time?

Robin
