yes and it has been my biggest accomplishment. i hijacked a network that is almost entirely hubbed (only 2 switches) and splits a cheesy 128kbps internet link over 150 computers. w00t!

why not just hide what server a user is using then? i'm suprised efnet hasnt done this already - its already in the code after all.

if you want you can interview me. i'm not exactly a 'hired network admin'. i just admin 2 coloes and help out with my school network.

if you have control over DNS to your website just find some efnet servers you particularly like and put round robbin DNS of irc.yoursite.com to those efnet servers? or does efnet not allow this?

i use ratbox on my net and personally i am very happy about testmask. lets say someone loads up a load of clones using a /24. i can simply do a testmask on that and make sure all the clones are caught or no real clients are caught in the process. i dont really see how testmask could be abused. its n...

anyone know if tcm/oomon/dronemon support testmask yet?

yes that is what i currently use on my internet and i would like to extend a great thank you to Hwy for writing and maintaining it. i am pretty sure that it doesnt use any services.xo. it was based on geostats and extended far beyond that.

is there any chance the source for services.xo will be released?

are there any plans for it to become open source?

how do they redirect irc.efnet.info to any random server? is it cached as different addies in different DNSes?

thanks

hi,
as i connected to some efnet servers i saw a drone monitor ctcp version me. so my curiosity told me to ctcp version it back and i did. the reply was Dronemon version 1.5.0beta1 (20040212_1). i havent seen it on any websites and i was wondering if it was open source.
thanks,
alex

has anyone seen a working services shortcut generator for ratbox 1.3-1?
this would be a great help.
thanks,
alex

hmm well i think actually a lot of asian servers would be pointless, well for the middle east i think. the middle east is not internetconnected. for example all of jordan goes through new york. if i wanted to access a site in bahrain it would go to NY and loop back around. i cant vouch of the rest o...

well we do plan to have Aurora join and stay in channels we choose.

Damien - do you think it would be possible to make that service available to everyone by having them reg with aurora and they get a small control panel access?
