hey , i know that for mirc n clients for winodws u gotta be VERY carefull as to what script u use or load cause of backdoors , so im wondering how safe the addon .tcl scripts are , that ar eon this site , are .tcl , eggdrop scripts more safe or something , did u guys make all these scripts or collect em or? thanks.
Well, the only way to make sure of there being no backdoors is to only use non-encrypted code which you can audit yourself. Tcl IMO isnt too hard to learn, at least enough to be able to spot backdoors (somewhat). Some could just be a command that isn't checked/protected, in which someone could do say: /msg bot servlag {
}, giving anyone that knows the unprotected bind full acress to the bot, as well as the shell the bot is on. Another pretty easy way to avoid bad scripts is to get ones suggested by eggdrop's coders and other respected people in the eggdrop field, such as ppslim and the other moderators here. Most of the scripts on egghelp's tcl archive and other major eggdrop sites that have been download numerous times and are widely used are less likely to have a backdoor than the one someone sent you off irc or another chat medium.
There's my five cents, keep the change.
