heyhey-
just last night my network was swamped with spam bots - they joined the two largest channels on the network and started msging a url to users.

luckily i happened to be staring blankly at the snotice window when the first round connected, so i was able to set a spam filter pronto on the url they sent out. the bots tried to register their nicks on connect (but can't do it straight away on my network).
as you can see from the timestamps.. it went on for several hours, but the spamfilter took care of it all. irc defender helped a lot too; it picked up a few of the drones and locked the affected channels whenever another wave of bots connected.
the bots can be recognised by a double version response:
[23:51:31pm] ¢ VERSION info requested from 10Night^^
[23:51:32pm] ¢ VERSION reply of 'mIRC v6.01 Khaled Mardam-Bey' from 10Night^^
[23:51:33pm] ¢ version reply of 'mIRC v6.16 Khaled Mardam-Bey' from 10Night^^
the bots also joined a random channel on connect. some of the bots msg'd the virus url pretty much straight away, whilst others idled in a random channel and the two largest channels for a few minutes before msg'ing.
i have no idea who was responsible, but my network is in the mirc servers.ini so it could be some idiot just going through the list.
just a heads up. |

We sorta got the same attack but it was involved with DDoS also.
Note: No CTCP Version or Time reply seems like CloneX to me any ideas?

looks like a different attack..
i just got hit again, same version response but the bots msg'd a different url and used a common ident - made getting rid of 'em nice and easy.
but these spam bots are getting annoying - anyone know what ip ranges are used in turkey? i am seriously considering zlining an entire country... most of the bots from the recent attacks came from 88.*, but this isn't exclusive to turkey. |

Looking at the first ident of the original post, guessing the centralchat irc network? The network global gamers recently that I am staff on has had an increased slew of new spam bots. While we have been able to rid of most spam bots via a scan on connect and such, some bots can get through still... but that's to be expected heh. overall, it seemed that the botnet that hit our irc net was a clonesX form of it or so... all with random nick but same ident.
edit: stupid phone cut off text post. |

FBI, you shouldn't go on accusing random people without proof...
Also, if you havn't noticed, there are a couple of thousands of 'script kiddies' running around the internet and flooding people, so its not like ONE person floods the whole internet.
I'm netadmin too and my network also gets botflooded often, so noobs shouldn't come crying here saying 'OMG I GOT FLOODED!!!'. Go protected your network properly, deal with it, and above all, stop accusing random people. |

I didn't say it was you just a guy with a nick BrKiller it could be anyone in the world with a nick BrKiller
I don't know why your defending yourself heh and I ain't accusing anyone of flooding  |

i wasn't aware of anyone in this thread complaining about getting flooded - i see people commenting on floods and offering information or advice to others.
maybe you should leave this thread and go protect your own network properly before telling other "noobs" to do the same. |

| Thanks for the information peeps, will kep my eyes open and pass the info on to the rest of my staff... if we start gettin botted i can turn the bot protection on... it requires a user enter a number to log on... the number changes each logon... will play havoc with my resident bot but he can go offline for a while |

| NW, that's a good defense for the short-term, but bot scripters are getting wiser... it would only be a matter of time to code in something to catch the numeric/server notice challenging the end-client and thus create a reply based on it - effectively bypassing that obstacle |
