Just Commodores IRC

[minux]

Hi Guys,

We are looking to see how much interest people have in using IRC. We are looking to get back to the old days where quite a few users would be online talking in real time. Great for when your bored.

If there is enough interest we will start this back immediately.

Let me know.

Cheers.

Man things you can see and do and get on irc you've missed out. There's been masses of wars, being shut down by the feds watched by the goverments for a while there efnet wasn't safe to log onto if you ran a windows based computer, the OS would be crashed within seconds



Here's a little history lesson about why I had to start using Linux in 1997 , there used to be war scripts where you could go /ssping #channelname and 99% of the room would crash, you could go into a room with hundreds of people in it and then watch

Until there was liek 3 bots left that were running on some OS that was immune


In January of 1997, "The Ping o' Death" was discovered, and proved to effect 18 major operating systems, Windows 95 and NT included. In this attack, systems which are "pinged" with a very large packet will crash. Service Pack 2 fixes this problem on Windows NT machines. The above patch fixes the problem on Windows 95 machines. See this page for more info.

In June of 1997, "SSPing/Jolt" appeared. In this kind of attack, fake TCP/IP packets are sent to a host, causing the host to slow down or crash. While less serious than WinNuke, anyone who runs a mission-critical web server on Windows NT should apply the fix, which can be found here.

Also in June, another bug in the Windows NT 4.0 web server (Internet Information Server 3.0) could let a malicious user crash the server when it receives a very large URL (4kb to 8kb) in a CGI request. The patch for NT web server administrators is available here.

A fairly new attack, called "Teardrop", affects Windows 95/NT machines, as well as Linux and other operating systems. It occurs when an invalid or fragmented IP address is sent to a host, causing it to crash or hang. The fix for Windows 95 users is included in the WinNuke patch above. Windows NT users should consult this page. Recently, a new version of the Teardrop attack has appeared. (see below)

Early in December 97, a new bug, called a "land c" or "Land Attack" has appeared, by "Meltman". It affects some operating systems, as well as some Internet hardware such as firewalls and routers. Like the SSPing attack, it allows someone to slow down or crash a Windows NT machine, and crash a Windows 95 system. A patch for Windows 95 machines is included in the WinNuke fix above. Windows NT users should consult this link.

There are several bugs in Microsoft's latest Internet Explorer 4.0 browser, which can let a malicious person access and/or destroy files on your hard drive. On January 14th, 1998, the "MK Overrun bug" was reported, which can cause IE4.0 to crash when the user tries to go to a webpage that starts with "mk://". A fix for NT and 95 users is provided by Microsoft at this page. A similar attack, called the "IE Buffer Overrun bug", can be fixed at this MS webpage.

Recently a new varaiation on the Teardrop attack has surfaced, called "NewTear" or "Boink". As of January 12, 1998, there is a fix for Windows NT users. The fix for Windows 95 machines, released on January 23rd, is included in the WinNuke fix above.

WTF dude that sounds messed up sound's almost like this movie i saw year's ago about mid 90's hacker's it had angelina jolie in it cant remember the name tho lol

[Haydz]

i reckon it would be pretty sweet. start it up again and see how it goes if it doesnt get used its not hard to remove is it?

[Wagon_Wheel]

Yeah i'd be up for it, would be good to have real time chat instead of a lot of thread where ppl post the same thing and what not.
Be good to chat to a few different members too

[wwilde]

I would use it, btw can't you set up a poll for this? would be easier to yes/no?

HAHA, god doesn't that bring back memories. I remember my MSN days we would make scripts for takeovers to capture channels etc. If we failed we simply flooded the channel. Users would disconnect. Then come the /con/con days where you could reboot every single windows user within the channel.

Anyways, the network we will be using is small, but has been around since 2000. Our past 2 groups have called the place home.

It can provide for some hilarious antics when you start getting a few people around. Can also provide help in real time!!

[Evolution_Ends_Here]

yes i would for sure

[Reaper]

Brings back memories and would like to do it but being honest - can't see it happening for me.

Reaper

[Haydz]

let us know when this will be up and running. yeah?

[minux]

let us know when this will be up and running. yeah?

I am just about to send Darren an email for a DNS update now. So I will make a post when its all up and done.

[levymetal]

I'm bored 100% of the time so can't wait until this is up!

[vlv8vic]

like the idea of having enough time do get in there but can't see it being something i'd get to very often.
I voted no to the question, but i support the addition of a feature that people with plenty of spare time can use.

[immortality]

bring it on, never been on those before (sheltered PC life)

[Emackulation]

IRC will be blacked at work and such, this is why the Shoutbox idea was better, easier and all you need to do is come to JC forums and there it is! Shoutbox>IRC.

[Wagon_Wheel]

Mack... shouldnt you be working while at work? LOL

[stocky]

Mack... shouldnt you be working while at work? LOL

suppose i should be doing that too, but meh

[azzfox]

IRC eh? Must have been before my time, or I was just too young to give a stuff But I'd give it a go. Count me in!
