Free irc sheriff software for linux

PTlink IRC Services provides channel/nick registration services for IRC networks.
Specially developed for the PTlink IRC Server, it uses modules and includes features like channel roles and nick groups for privilege management.
The data backend is a MySQL database.
Enhancements:
- This version fixes a synchronization problem with user kicks, replaces some fatal errors with warnings, and updates the utility scripts to reflect the latest configuration changes.

IRC-Chess project is a 2-player chess game for IRC which turns a computer into an IRC chess bot.

It consists of a Java chess server, with frontend scripts to convert an IRC client into a chess bot. Players then communicate with the bot using standard IRC commands, and dont require any special software to play.

Frontend scripts are available for IRSSI and X-Chat.

The client is merely responsible for interpreting this data and displaying it. In this way, porting the system to a variety of IRC clients is very simple, since
the client script will be short, and effectively contain no code specific to the game being played.

In other words, the Java part is smart. The script is dumb and is just there to make things look pretty.

This idea works. Currently, client scripts have been designed for RSSI and XChat. Since both these programs use Perl for scripting, the scripts are practically identical, with a few client specific modifications.

Porting this script to other IRC clients shouldnt be too much of a hassle, since its just the frontend thats ported, not the chess game itself. Anyone wanting to create frontend scripts for other IRC clients, please feel free to do so.

The PROTOCOL file describes exactly what needs to be done.

Sensible IRC Handler aims to provide an interface for Gaim that handles irc:// links in Firefox Browser. This will provide the same xchat-gnome functionality to handle irc:// links, but for Gaim.
Recent changes in inclusion of packages for future Ubuntu release will not include xchat-gnome because of recursive duplication with Gaims IRC capabilities, so IRC will be entirely handled in Gaim.
This will use Gaim as an IRC client, but will not alter the main Gaim configurations, this would create a temporary configurations for the current sessions. A functionality to add the IRC channels defined in InternetRelayChat in Gaim buddy list, will be easy, but will not add them by default. Adding them for a user requires further discussions.
Enhancements:
- GTK+ version 2.2.x

IRCBotNET is a Botnet. It is a network of IRC bots that communicate with one another. They share a means of communication whereby all bots speak to one another and exchange information. They are useful for keeping and maintaining a channel by acting as a group of channel bots that work together with a common goal.

Say, for instance, you have one IRC bot keeping a channel and a netsplit occurs or the bot dies for some reason. Immediately the channel becomes chaotic and anarchic without an IRC bot keeping the peace. With a Botnet, even if an IRC bot dies, here still remains the rest of the bots on the Botnet to continue maintaining the channel and the loss of the one bot means nothing as the other bots do its exact same job.

BotNET is an extremely powerful IRC BOT and has many features.
BotNET doesnt necessarily have to run as a Botnet, it can run as a normal IRC bot and in fact does this by default. It has a massive collection of functions that can be seen in the BotNET man pages. When run as a Botnet, BotNET has supreme capabilities that have never been attempted before in Botnets. When a BotNET bot is run in Botnet mode, it connects to a BotNET Communication Stream Server (botserv) that is included in this package.

It uses this server to communicate with the other bots on the Botnet. The difference here is that not only can it do whatever any other Botnet can do, but it also uses this stream of communication with its added IRC Stand-alone bot functionality. For instance, if you add a user to the bot, immediately, all other bots connected to the database add this user to their local databases and a global-wide Botnet database is maintained. So you can use any one of the bots on the Botnets for anything that you so desire. This powerful feature makes BotNET very predominant over other Botnets.

IRC Collective software contains a parser, with a modular architecture that makes it flexible in the way it can process input and handle output. The output of the parser is primarily used to add to an SQL database that can in turn be queried by, e.g., a Web application (also provided).

The parser can be extended by defining new input formats and output handlers. It can help you stay up to date on the IRC channels that you visit regularly. You can write your own applications on top of the SQL database. You can search past conversations using the Web interface (results will be paged).

Faerion IRC Server project consists of an advanced, secure, multi-lingual IRC server for Unix/Win32.
Faerion is a Unicode-based IRC server. It features enhanced support and transparent conversion for different charsets, and provides a stealth network model, persistent channels, compressed links, etc.
Main features:
- Support for transparent, user-controlled charset translation (virtually) from anything to anything. This is done by using Unicode mappings, which can be installed or removed on the fly, without having to interrupt the server. The server supports a special "fallback" conversion table which maps all characters that are not supported by a users preferred charset to the closest looking characters. This process is typically referred to as "transliteration" and is widely used on Russian IRC networks to avoid problems with incompatible charsets. The difference is that with Faerion, the server takes all necessary investigation to see what should be transliterated, and what can be passed without changes.
- Clients that have native support for Unicode (UTF-8), will benefit from using it at full scale without the implication of "cryptic writings" (which raw UTF-8 is for a typical human eye).
- Support for "persistent channels": channels registered with the Channel Service (mode +r) are not deleted when the last user leaves. This slightly saves bandwidth and helps mitigate several privacy issues (such as channel key revelation).
- Support for channel forwarding based on user address matching rules: with channel mode +f enabled, all ban masks can have a ",#channel" suffix appended to them to forward clients to another channel instead of declining the attempt to join the channel.
- Limited portability. The server is currently available for most POSIX platforms (modern BSD and Linux variants) and Microsoft Windows.
Enhancements:
- The LIST command now requires users with unregistered nicknames to additionally specify a pseudo random number to prove their human nature, otherwise the command is ignored.
- Opers no longer need an O-line to use any command; remotely set +o works just fine.
- Fixed the charset conversion problem when a user gets registered on the server.
- Invite list no longer overrides ban list.
- Fixed a crash in WHOIS.
- Fixed to compile without warnings in -Werror mode with GCC 3+.
- Fixed the +c channel mode to disallow colors instead of stripping them.Also, when a topic is being changed by a nonop on a +c-t channel to something that contains colors, the attempt is denied.

F-IRC provides a console IRC client.
F-IRC is an IRC client for the console. It supports multiple servers, scrollback, and all the basic features one can expect from an IRC client.
When F-IRC is started, youll see a list of channels and servers on the right.
The box around these is inverted. That means that if you use the left- and the
right cursor, they will work on the channels etc. If you press ^n, the box will
no longer be inverted and you can use the cursor keys for editting what youre typing.
If the channel-box is selected, press key right on a channel to get a list of
people in that channel. Press key left to exit this (and return to the list of
channels) or press key right on a name to get a menu via which you can kick
and ban people as well as get information on them. Press left on a server to
hide all the channels for that server, press right to unhide all channels.
Press cursor right on a channel to enter that channel. If theres a star in
front of channelname, someone wrote something in that channel. Press ^w to
jump directly to the next channel in which someone wrote something.
Enhancements:
- The cursor is finally visible in the edit-line.
- The program now runs on 64-bit platforms as well.

KMyIRC provides an IRC client for KDE which strives to be useful and easy without being bloated.
It was created because it was felt that the other KDE-based IRC clients were either not user-friendly or burdened with features that are not useful to the average IRC user.
Enhancements:
- Fixed bug in /part command
- Added member varibale "KMIChannelWindow::parted" to class KMIChannelWindow
- Added /leave command
- Added new ircMessage parsing object
- Added logging facility for raw irc messages
- Added some more irc-servers and groups to global config file (kmyircrc)
- Added some widgets to raw irc message window for logging stuff
