Possible LAG module?
Posted: Thu May 12, 2005 5:02 pm
I was just curious if any of your smart-y-pants that make all these wonderful modules could consider a CTCP LAG module. Basically when loaded performs a CTCP LAG on connect, from the IRCd server. (Hopefully right beside the VERSION one). Users that reply can be k-lined or otherwise dealt with.
My network runs about 500 users on a normal basis. Where filesharing is not preferred, it is not totally disallowed. Of course public channels running any type of XDCC are not allowed, but I have found that this in itself does not help remove the mass number of bots connecting.
I understand the best way to remove all the bots is to not allow users to share files publically, however I prefer to interfere as little as possible with my users activity, as long as it is not bad for the network or servers.
A simple CTCP LAG of course will detect a vast majority of the bots of a specific client, and I run a simple script now to LAG the entire network, and K:Line on reply. However I would much rather an ON Connect command that would take care of this, without needing to run an eggdrop or other bot to perform this task.
If this is not possible/not easy to do, I understand... This is just something that I feel would be useful not only to myself but to many other Opers running a small to moderate sized network.
