The first person to join the channel automatically receives Channel Operator status. The forward slash is the default command character. Commands on IRC are not case sensitive. Most IRC clients come with an extensive help file that describes the commands it supports.
In the list you will see all channels see below , except for those that are secret, with their number of users and the topic. The displayed list may be quite long, so you can limit it using flags. Upon entering a channel, you are given useful details about it: a list of users talking in that channel, channel mode settings and the topic. Joining a channel does not cause you to leave your previous channel and you can normally join as many channels as your connection can handle or that the IRC server allows.
Everyone who wants to talk to you sees this name. Nicknames are limited to 9 characters max. If your intended nickname clashes with someone else's as you enter IRC, you will not be able to enter until you change it to something else. Duplicate nicknames are not allowed; this is enforced by the IRC servers. Under some circumstances, two individuals may temporarily have the same nick but once discovered, both of them will be killed; a nick collision kill.
Sets a message explaining that you are not currently paying attention to IRC. Using AWAY with no parameters marks you as no longer being away. If you want a friend to join your channel you can invite them. This is required if your channel is 'invite only'.
Well, you guessed it, if there is a way to invite someone on a channel, there is also the ability to KICK someone out of it.
For example ,if a person is behaving in an offensive manner by annoying people or flooding the channel with unwanted information, they can be forced out of the channel.
Only 'channel operators' are privileged to use this command. Channels have topics, that indicate the current topic of conversation.
At times, you may want to send a description of what you are doing or how you are feeling or just anything concerning you on the current channel or in a query. On most clients these conversations will be handled by separate window. If somebody else sends you a message or that person replies to your message a query window icon will pop up informing you somebody wants to talk to you personally.
In Kreet's screen an icon will pop up with the message you typed; "This message can be read by you only. If you cannot wait for a reply for someone to message you to open a private window you can use the query command to force your client to open a private conversation window. This command differs from the MSG command only by the fact that it is used to start a private conversation. All text you type that would normally be sent to your chat partner if you used MSG now displays in an immediately opened private window 'to your chat partner' on your screen and is sent to the other person as well.
It should be seen as a sort of whispering. It is recommended that robots or other automatons on IRC use notices contrary to messages to send information to people.
You should never automatically as by remote events or commands send a message or notice in response to a notice sent to you. As you start to meet people on IRC, you will want to add certain nicknames to your notify list such that you will be notified when they sign on or off IRC. The day will come when you decide not to see or hear a specific person on your screen.
This can be achieved using the ignore command. If people are flooding channels with useless text or they are otherwise harassing you, a wise response is to ignore those person. Ignore can be set to a nickname or by specifying a user host format. You can use all kind of wildcards. The most widely understood and spoken language on IRC is English. However, as IRC is used in many different countries, English is by no means the only language. If you want to speak some language other than English, eg.
Similarly, you should check the topic when you join a channel to see if there are any restrictions about language. On a non-restricted channel, please speak a language everybody can understand. If you want to do otherwise, change channels and set the topic accordingly. It is not necessary to greet everybody on a channel personally. Usually one "Hello" or equivalent is enough. Also, don't expect everybody to greet you back.
On a channel with 20 people that would mean one screenful of hellos. It makes sense not to greet everyone, in order not to be rude to the rest of the channel. If you must say hello to somebody you know, do it with a private message.
The same applies to goodbyes. Also note that using your client's facilities to automatically say hello or goodbye to people is extremely poor etiquette. Nobody wants to receive auto-greets. They are not only obviously automatic but, while you may think you are being polite, you are actually conveying yourself as insincere. If somebody wants to be auto-greeted when they join a channel, they will auto-greet themselves.
Remember, people on IRC form their opinions about you only by your actions, writings and comments, so think before you type. If you use offensive words, you'll be frowned upon. Do not "dump" send large amounts of unwanted information to a channel or user. This is likely to get you kicked off the channel or killed off from IRC. Dumping causes network "burps", causing connections to go down because servers cannot handle the large amount of traffic. Other prohibited actions include:.
Harassment is defined as behavior towards another user with the purpose of annoying them. Channel operators are the 'rulers' of a particular channel. This means they can kick you out of their channel for any reason. If you don't like this, you complain to them or start your own channel and become a channel operator there yourself.
They cannot fix channel problems. They cannot kick someone out of a channel for you. IRCops have better things to do than interfere in channel affairs. A channel is automatically created as soon as the first person joins it. If you join a channel and you find your name as the only one there, you just created that channel.
Channels on IRC are dynamic in the sense that anyone can create a new channel, and a channel disappears when the last person leaves it. Every IRC network has its own set of popular channels. Most clients will display the list of channels in a new window and you can change its display to sort channels by the number of users.
Just join one of those channels to find out what happens on them. Besides chat channels, there also exist channels specialized towards helping other users. Examples are help, windows, irchelp, and mirc. You can also do this for smaller numbers.
Even very crowded channels can be silent, so if you join a channel and don't hear much talking, it may be because you joined, but just because the people on that channel are doing other things. Some networks support registered nicknames. This means that they allow you to set a password on a nickname so that you own it.
Only the person who knows that password will be able to use it. There are, literally, millions of possible channel names, so if someone is on your usual channel, just go to another. The answer to this question is the current channel operators and them alone. Given the dynamic nature of channels, channel operators do not need to have a reason to kick you off.
They decide what goes on in the channel. It is their channel. Complaining either to IRC operators or to the system administrators about being kicked or banned from a channel will not result in action.
IRC operators do not meddle with channel politics - that's the job of channel operators. If you should get banned or kicked from a channel, you are always free to start your own channel and decide what is appropriate content there. Imagine channels as houses. The owner of the house can decide to share ownership with someone else and can decide to prevent any individual from entering his house.
In your own house, you call the shots. Feel free to create your own channel, and set up your own rules for it. Channel operators are the owners of their respective channels.
If you are a channel operator, keep this in mind when giving out channel operator powers. Do not give out channel operator status to everyone. This causes the possibility of mass-kicking or otherwise harassing by unknown ops and the channel can be left without any channel operators. However, always make sure to give ops to enough people so that all of the channel operators don't unexpectedly disappear and leave the channel without any operators. If no ops are on your channel you have one option.
You can ask everyone to leave and rejoin the channel. This is a good way to get channel operator status back. This does not work on large channels or ones with bots, for obvious reasons. On some networks, you can register a channel so that you own it and can maintain control over it as far as who gets channel operator status and how that privilege is governed.
A "bot" is short for "robot". It is normally a script run from a client or a separate program in perl, C, and sometimes more obscure languages. Bots are normally not needed on IRC. A bot generally tries to "protect" a channel from takeovers or performs other functions. It is important to know that some IRC servers ban all bots.
Some bots provide useful features and can be entertaining. Contrary to these bots, you will find many bots performing useless 'carekeeping' of channels, harassing and boring people and sometimes created with the sole purpose to produce garbage. You can imagine that these bots are disliked by the IRC community. In this context it is good to advise you to never, ever take bot code,. If you feel you just have to run a bot, at least learn the programming.
Some networks support a nickname registration service called NickServ. This allows users to register and own nicknames. Some networks support a channel registration service called ChanServ. This allows users to register and own channels. If you use the LIST command, the server generates a list of all channels and quickly sends that list to you.
But, because the data throughput is finite, the entire output of the LIST command is queued in a buffer on the server. At some point that buffer is overrun, and the server, detecting this 'reached maxsendq' , disconnects you. This mechanism is designed to disconnect people who generate more characters per second than any 'normal' person uses for normal conversations.
It is a server protection mechanism, but unfortunately the server does not recognize that the data stream you caused is simply the result of your harmless LIST command, and disconnects you.
In most IRC clients, you can filter the channels list to show only channels with a minimum and a maximum number of people. You can also specify a text string so that your client will only list channels with that string in their name or topic.
Some, like Taskade , combine all that functionality together, in one unified workspace. For over 30 years! Shaping and growing and ungrowing. It is there yet not there. It is the source of Internet Relay Chat. The exact date is unknown, at the end of the month anyways. IRC is very similar to text messaging, but designed around communicating with large groups of users instead of one on one. If the IRC is great then the server is running without ever stopping.
If the server is great then the client will always be the server. Users can connect to those networks using Clients, simple, often text-based applications designed to facilitate user-user and user-channel interactions.
When the Persian Gulf War broke out in the early 90s, many people used the platform to read live reports from the front. Although individual servers may be geographically dispersed, users connected to two different machines can still interact with each other as long as they are part of the same network.
The spirit of a good client is that it should be very convenient for the luser to use, but hard for the luser who want to create automata. There should never ever be too many functions or too few functions.
Some IRC clients, especially their early iterations, are purely text-based while others use more modern and user-friendly GUIs graphical user interfaces. Some networks even provide proprietary web interfaces so users can connect on the fly, without having to download or install anything. Each channel has its place within the IRC. Channels are the place where IRC magic happens. We have just studied what is IRC and the way in which it connects, communicates and the several types of Internet Relay Chat software required for chats.
Smileys are a revolution that has added an additional dimension to chat conversations by adding a tonal quality to it. With advancements in the technology the latest chats support graphics, video and audio conferencing too. So, have you made up your mind to make a career in Cyber Security?
It is the first program in offensive technologies in India and allows learners to practice in a real-time simulated ecosystem, that will give you an edge in this competitive world. Ajay Ohri 10 Mar Introduction What would the world be without the internet and chat facilities? IRC Model Internet Relay Chats use a client-server model, meaning that software for both the server and client is required to establish the conversation.
Web-based chats like Google chat et,c use web browsers like Internet Explorer and Netscape. Chat Servers The Internet Relay Chat server allows communication and transports the data to a huge number of users connected to a particular environment and is akin to the newsgroups of the internet. The 3 types of servers used for communication are UnderNet Servers EFnet servers DALnet servers The servers always have a hostname, which reveals the type of internet access and its server name.
Smileys The meaning of speech is not derived by word alone. Mega Smileys Emotional Smileys. Conclusion We have just studied what is IRC and the way in which it connects, communicates and the several types of Internet Relay Chat software required for chats.
