| Yes, not all of them have those ports open, however, the ones that do have the ports open gives you an idea to what operating system they run. |

Not at all true, all the popular servers such as pop, imap, ftp, http, irc .. etc are available for all OS's. |

The point was totally missed. I was talking about ports 22 and 23. 23 is for telnet and 22 is for sshd. When you connect on them through telnet and it asks for a username, its obviously telnetd/sshd. If you get HTML code, it's obvious the person is running httpd off that port.
Not all operating systems run SSHd. Windows 2000 however, can run telnet service, but in very rare circumstances. |

Never heard of an sshd for windows?
I do have one. Only good way to use a windows box.
Inform yourself before claiming things not being true! |

Just one example:
http://lexa.mckenna.edu/sshwindows/ There is also sshd for windows 95/98
also with the invention of Cygwin you can run nearly everything a *nix box can .. including Xwindows, KDE ... etc.
My point is that you cannot be 100% positive what OS is running simply by what ports are open. |

| Everyone should just use mIRC 6.01 like me, no one even bothers thinking about exploits for this version anymore :o) |

I run both a telnetd and sshd on my Win 2003 machine. I also run a telnetd and sshd on my Win XP machine.
Lets also not forget that Mac OS X is 99% compatible with FreeBSD software and therefore, it is also very easy to run telnetd/sshd on Mac (I have 5 shell accounts on different Mac OS X systems). Then there are other not-truly-UNIX oses. Take the old BeOS for example. You could run a telnetd/sshd on that.
Just because port 22 and 23 are open doesn't even mean that a telnetd/sshd is running. Nowhere is it required that 22 be used for ssh, I could run an httpd on 22 if I wanted to... |

None at all. Though it certainly does go to support my claim that the mIRC community would rather pretend a problem doesn't exist than openly confront it... |

There isnt a DCC problem with mirc, it's a script (dll file) that can be downloaded and executed trough mirc that is the problem... Mirc 6.14 is clean from exploits at the time being....

That doesn't look like a crash, more like a crappy client/server connection.
The bug that supposedly existed was in fact a bug in a script being used, not mIRC 6.14, as has been said many times before. Khaled has even made a post regarding this on mIRC's forum. |

If indeed you are being exploited (which I doubt), it is definately not this exploit.
But, in case it is an exploit, what you should do is type /debug on
that will write debugging information to debug.log, then if you get disconnected (and by the way the error message you pasted there indicates an ISP error, not an exploit), it will tell you the last things you received. My guess is you won't see anything suspicious. |

actually I find that writing to a text file works well with debug:
/debug file-name-here.txt |
