Heads up: important UnrealIRCd hot-fix and release on Saturday (Dec 16, 2023)
This is a 48+ hours heads up, so UnrealIRCd admins know they should be around to patch their server on Saturday: Internally we discovered a serious issue in UnrealIRCd. In a common configuration scenario, a regular user can cause UnrealIRCd to crash, which results in all users being disconnected fro...

UnrealIRCd 6.1.3 released
I'm happy to announce the release of UnrealIRCd 6.1.3 stable. The main focus of this release is adding countermeasures against large scale spam/drones. We do this by offering a central API which can be used for accessing Central Blocklist, Central Spamreport and Central Spamfilter. See the release n...

UnrealIRCd 6.1.3-rc1 available for testing
The release candidate for 6.1.3 is now available for testing. You can help us by testing and reporting any issues at https://bugs.unrealircd.org/. I hope more people are willing to test the release candidate this time, as previous time the 6.1.2-rc's were undertested and therefore 6.1.2 required sev...

Re: New Central Blocklist to reduce spam
Not really a way to test it. But you are right, it would be good to see if it is working at all (without enabling debug mode). Maybe some STATS like command. I will look into that, thanks for bringing it up

New Central Blocklist to reduce spam
The UnrealIRCd Central Blocklist is an attempt to detect and block spammers. It works similar to DNS Blacklists but the central blocklist receives many more details about the user that is trying to connect and therefore can make a better decision on whether a user is likely a spammer or not. Since e...

UnrealIRCd 6.1.2.3 released
This dot release fixes a possible crash if you have parse errors in your conf and REHASH. Also, if you use UTF8 regexes in spamfilter { } blocks (which is a new feature in 6.1.2) then these were not working when booting the IRCd but they would work after a REHASH. The problem with this is that if yo...

UnrealIRCd 6.1.2.2 released
If you have not installed 6.1.2 or 6.1.2.1 yet, then know that 6.1.2 has quite a nice number of new spam filter features, such as Central Spamfilter . All features are explained in more detail in the release notes . You can upgrade to 6.1.2.x on *NIX via the "./unrealircd upgrade" command....

UnrealIRCd 6.1.2.1 released
I'm happy to announce the release of UnrealIRCd 6.1.2.1 stable. This release focuses on adding spamfilter features but also contains various other new features and some fixes. This release is a little ahead of schedule because I had the impression that the Release Candidate(s) were not being tested ...

Re: Cloaking + /oper
What are complaining about, "nothing concrete" !? You got 3 or actually 4 good answers from PeGaSuS with direct links to specific configuration items. Except for #2, which indeed is not possible and would break clients (exactly what PeGaSuS said)... ask any IRC client developer or IRC serv...

Re: Allow only operators to create channels
First of all, UnrealIRCd 5 is no longer supported since a few days, so I urge you to upgrade to UnrealIRCd 6: Upgrading from 5.x to 6.x . It's not much of a hassle, unless you have custom coded modules or modules that only exist for 5.x. When you are on UnrealIRCd 6 you can install the module third/...

Re: Is it possible to do g/line in all countries?
Banning everything and then ELINE-ing is not a good idea. Then an attacker just needs to find 1 proxy in a country and flood and you are screwed as they can't be klined/glined/whateveryouchose. I think what you want is this: ban user { mask { mask *; exclude-country { NL; DE; FR; } } reason "Yo...

Re: Wave of spam hits IRC
For the private message spam (not the channel spam), we have in UnrealIRCd something that limits the maximum number of "concurrent conversations". Basically how many PM's you can sustain at the same time, how soon you may PM a new person. It is possible to lower this amount, by default it ...

Wave of spam hits IRC
Since a few days, there are waves of spam hitting many IRC networks. The spam uses this tool https://github.com/acidvegas/efknockr and the text ranges from simple phrases about SUPERNETS to ASCII art, colors, all kinds of stuff, being spammed in both channels and private message. What sets this spam...
