Ranok's Ramblings » IRC http://www.r4n0k.com A peek into my life, and the projects I never complete Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:36:19 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Lulz of the Day: Ark http://www.r4n0k.com/2008/11/16/lotd-ark/ http://www.r4n0k.com/2008/11/16/lotd-ark/#comments Mon, 17 Nov 2008 01:19:59 +0000 ranok http://www.r4n0k.com/?p=117 Well, it’s about time for there to be another Lulz of the Day! Today we’ll be lulzing about Ark, my IRC anti-floodbot script. As an IRCop on a network, I am constantly figthing floodbots who join, /msg everyone on the network some spam and then disconnect. I figured that there must be a way to stop them, and so I diligently started working on Ark. Ark is a perlscript that connects to an IRC server as an IRCop and joins the most popular channels (which you specify). It then waits quietly, bidding its time until it gets /msg’d. Once it receives a message, it springs into action, checking the received message against a list of regexs. If any of them match, it will /kill the bot and resume its slumber.

This very simple, yet oddly helpful script can be downloaded from my code site

Peace and chow,

Ranok
