 Posted: Apr 02, 2005 1:36am Post subject: Spam attempt / Topic changer |
 |
|
User has signed on to network, joined a bunch of non +t channels (topic can be changed without having ops), and changed the topic to:
* Hajjah^Mariam (~me@AEEAC7C0.5576780A.A186659F.IP) has joined #animehq
* Hajjah^Mariam changes topic to 'Fastest Money-Maker in the Internet ---> http://www.pay-me-to-clickDOTcom <---CLICK !'
* Hajjah^Mariam (~me@AEEAC7C0.5576780A.A186659F.IP) has left #animehq
Hajjah^Mariam was ~me@219.95.15.247 * fieyna
Hajjah^Mariam using atlantis.wikkedwire.com Sat Apr 2 02:37:23 2005
End of WHOWAS
They then quit:
* Hajjah^Mariam (~me@AEEAC7C0.5576780A.A186659F.IP) Quit (Join www.pay-me-to-clickDOTcom and make)
I assume this was a bot, considering they changed the topic of about 10 channels in under 5 seconds then quit immediately.
(*Note: I replaced the .'s in the spam URLS with the word DOT to prevent hotlinking) |

Did any of the channels concerned use channel mode +t (only ops set topic)?
If they dont, then maybe thats a mode you should consider enforcing -- Unreal supports it with the set::mode-on-join option in its conf, and Anope Services have it hard coded into the code (and I dont think there's an option to unset it as such) |

| No one was there or quick enough to catch it. And yes, I'm pondering doing the +nt upon entry thing... |

| Sometimes it's useful for nonops to be able to set a topic. That's why Unreal spamfilters support filtering topics. |

| I'm not blaming anyone, or the ircd, I'm just reporting it in case it starts happening elsewhere... |

I believe he was just saying that Willaim could spamfilter the topic.
I believe also that Willaim uses UnrealIRCd? |

Yea, I could now, but it's probably only a once in a lifetime event, next time the msg could be different.
And yea, we run UnrealIRCd |
