Problem with eggdrop and UID (New feature in IRCnet)

2005-01-24T07:46:52-04:00

As we know IRCd's are the worst examples of internet security. And eggdrops are the best targets of denial of service attacks. Does all this make sense? :P

First of all i'm doing it for myself. That was my original plan. Few days later i decided to publicy my botpack (it is quite popular on IRCnet). Right now i'm trying to be on time and i've got some fun with it too. Those fatures were actually requested by some IRCnet ircop too ;)

I haven't noticed any problems with my Eggdrop modification yet. UIDs works fine, right now i'm testing enforcing bans on CIDR and SID. That's pain in ass and lag bot a little, especially getting SID for evey channel member. I wonder if shell admins will be pissed off about thousenths of DNS replies in a short ammount of time ;)

This also happens with my bot, although it is for a small interval of time. When my bot joins a channel and is opped by ChanServ if you try to check if it is op or not via .tcl in partyline it will show an output of '0' immediately.

But if you do it again say after 8-10 secs or greater eventually, the same .tcl botisop will show an output of '1'. Probobaly because the bot is under stress, after joining a channel (does a /who) or takes time to synch, however it is not lagging.

I wonder if the IRCNet guys intentionally did that to screw up the bots :wink:

IIRC Ircnet operate a no bot policy.

Screw up? Why? It works without any problem with a little code modification in Eggdrop source code ;) It is worse with SID and CIDR banning, but future ircd versions should allow to check proper SID and user IP on WHO.

Hmm, weird, it works fine for me in Evangeline 1.1.0:

.tcl set nick 0
[12:16:46] * IRC NICK CHANGE: Remove -> 0
Tcl: 0
[12:16:47] Nickname changed to '616PACI2Z'???

.tcl botisop #evangeline
Tcl: 1

.tcl botisop
Tcl: 1

.tcl botonchan #evangeline
Tcl: 1

.tcl set botnick
Tcl: 616PACI2Z

Btw, Eggdrop will flood on party-line a little and will try to change it's nickname to 0 instead of UID, Evangeline won't do that ;)

I see your problem yes. In that page you posted you can join with the nick 0 if you wish and 0 in all programming languages means false. If your bot changes nick from its UID does it work properly again?

When my egg is using UID nick it does not work properly.
Commands like botisop and botonchan return always 0 even if bot has really op on channels / is in channels.

Any way to fix this?
