Join Throttle

Post by Greggor »

For some reason, the join throttle is just not working... It's set to +j 3:10 and +f [10j#R10,10m#M10,10t#b]

The idiot in question is using proxies and is impossible to ban. He just join/part floods the channel whenever he's bored and there's nothing I can do about it. I can't set the channel to +R because it's the help channel and people usually go there to ask how to register their nicknames.

I would be suspicious at the thought that BOTH systems would fail :p.

What is your +f set to though? I'm missing the time parameter (the :xx part) ;).
So not '+f [10j#R10,10m#M10,10t#b]' but like '+f [10j#R10,10m#M10,10t#b]:60'

Hmm, too bad you don't have seconds in your timestamp though :). Since now it's not any proof :P.

Why not put it at +j 3:40? +j 3:10 seems a bit too nice if you ask me ;)

Some people don't know how to work their IRC client I guess :S

Use a proxy scanner (like BOPM)- that should help.

Without seconds in timestamps it's impossible to see the exact timing of each join and quit. Since your timeout is set to 10, you need to determine if he is in fact joining more than 3 times within a 10 second period. Without seconds in timestamps... your guess is as good as mine.

We already use a BOPM and a Tor-detector. It doesn't help at all.

He IS joining over 3 times in 10 seconds. I'm there every time it happens. And it happens at least 3 times a day every day. Hell, he's joining over 10 times in 3 seconds.

Like I said, 3 days ago.. +j 3:40.
If someone is (re)joining more than 3 times in 40 seconds, I would consider that quite annoying. Also note that it does not ban the user or anything, they just cannot join for x(x) sec again. That should teach them to behave.

+j 3:10 is really too few... You find 1 (re)join every 5s ok then?? aka 12 joins per minute

Ok, I'll try resetting the join throttle to 3:40

Are you sure bopm isnt catching these addys ? . I had a problem with proxies from sympatico and cox and when I installed bopm it klined each connect immediately. Check bopm for error logs on the scans .
Yawn. So there's yet another "if the user clicks the button, they're infected" exploit. Why is this news? We already know users are idiots.

There's absolutely no problem with the bopm... Every once in a while we get a loser try to proxy in... but this guy gets around it every time without exception.

if you dont get users from sympatico or cox then id suggest glining both hosts . Drastic but it keeps him out . you could always grant an exception to users you know off those providers. Although I havent seen anyone off cox or sympatico that wasnt on proxy yet lol .

In my experience most proxy nerds have only a handful of good proxies the scanners dont catch . They then fall back to the known proxies and bopm takes over from there .

No, trust me, we have users from all over the place. SwiftIRC is a big network. Having the join mode too low won't be good either because of the idiots on Swiftswitch pressing the Help button a million times going "WHY ISN'T A HELP SCREEN COMING UP?!!?" which makes them keep joining/parting the help channel.

Trust me and Greggor on this, that idiot does join way more than three times in ten seconds. He is an AOLer, the host that was showing was him proxying.

I think we can call this closed.. it's really getting nowhere but running around in circles.
