they are not spybots. they are bots that catch trojan infected clients and auto-msg spambots. they do not log anything or anyone that is in the channels they join, they only pay attention to messages sent directly to them.

OK, you caught us. The FBI, Interpol and other agencies have paid us a lot of money to spy on our users. Shh!! Don't tell anyone!

Of course, there are always servers in... debug mode!!! Oh, NO!!!

can't you just resolve a few ip's and see if they belong to a shell provider? Then give the shell provider the logs??

give shell providers logs of what?
most spambots are hacked trojans or open proxies, with very little way of tracking them down to the original source.

I am no expert! I was just giving a thought! If it works or not, isn't it worth a try?

i think you're missing the point
what shell provider am i supposed to give logs to? should i email abuse@randomshellprovider.net and tell them there are hacked bots on comcast.net sending kidney stones spam messages to #warez-n-things?
if i were to send any abuse reports, they would go to comcast.net, not any shell providers. and with the volume of spambots we get on this network, it would be a fulltime job reporting them all by hand.

Glad munky explained what this was. I was just gonna make a bot that would auto ban anyone using efnet.xs4all.nl since the joinpart bots with server added spoofhosts seem rampant on that server. Also its good to know somethings being done about all the f*cking msg spam. Hopefully soon I wont have to rely on umode +g when im away and legitimate msgs can get through again.


Cheers

They aren't hacked clients, they are spoofed hosts by the admin of xs4all, none of them resolve, and I'm about to write a script banning anybody on that server just so I won't have to fill up the ban list on my bots. After all, there was a suggestion of "why don't you just ban them". So be it. It's nonsense.

this is why you read before you reply.
i didn't say the spamtrap bots (the clients *detecting* the spam) were hacked clients. i said the spambots (the clients that *send* the spam) are usually hacked clients and not clients sitting on shell servers.
the spamtrap bots do not all run on xs4all, there are many servers that contribute to this effort.
if you want to ban them, it's entirely up to you. and last i checked, most bots (eggdrop, emech, etc) didn't "fill up" when adding a handfull of hostmasks to ban. i believe most servers support 100 channel modes, so i don't think you can really fill up your channel ban list with a handful of bans, either.
