A lil confirmation.

[GouroB]

Hello all, can anyone confirm these 2 regex, whether they could work against random nick bots and clone-x bots,

^[a-z][0-9]{1,4}![a-z][0-9]{1,4}@.+:[a-z]{6}$

&

^([a-z]{10}).*!\1@.+:\1

Thanks

Those should.

However, if you have Identd checking, you should add ~? after the ! in those. This is how they should look for identd checking:

Code: Select all

^[a-z][0-9]{1,4}!~?[a-z][0-9]{1,4}@.+:[a-z]{6}$

Code: Select all

^([a-z]{10}).*!~?\1@.+:\1

Also, the second one is very broad, even though it requires 10 characters. There may be some innocent users getting banned

I wouldnt have thought "^([a-z]{10}).*!~?\1@.+:\1" would match anyone since as far as i can see ident's are truncated to 9 characters (excluding the ~) anyway. So nobody will have a 10 char ident matching a 10 char nick.

Actually, they are 10 characters

Must be 10 including the ~ then because i looked at someones ident earlier and it was only 9 chars excluding the ~

[Stealth]

Yes, the ~ counts as one of the 10

[Jobe]

So "^([a-z]{10}).*!~?\1@.+:\1" wont macth then since including the ~ its matching against an ident thats 11 chars long (same as the nick prefixed with a ~) so the 11th char wont actually be there it wont macth.

[DeadNotBuried]

so a

Code: Select all

^(\w{9})(\w).*!(~\1|\1\2)@.+:\1\2$

should do the trick

[Jobe]

I think that should yes.
