aol ident, and kick

Post by Husky »

Hi, as you are all aware, aol users can alter their ident, and in theory become anyone they like, in a channel i frequant we have had many cases of people doing exactly that.

was hoping someone could help witha tcl, that can a. notice/msg any aol user that enters a channel and ask for a password, kick ban if no response, chanops to initially add user to the bot???

can it be done, is it easy :)

Why do you need this? Even if a person LOOKS like someone else they should not be able to do anything you don't want them to without the correct password. Do you have public commands relying solely on flags or something? If that's the case, that's also where your problem is. (your setup is insecure by design) Kicking them will only give them less time to do evil, not solve the problem. If you don't want impersonators autovoiced/oped, just don't give the aol users any of the auto flags and keep the channel -autoop, -autovoice.
