Using netbots and secure op -- Strikelight's tcl or raeky's?

Post by ascension »

I wanted to update a botnet of 28 eggdrops which will slowly increase to use secure opping on EFnet regardless of ChanFix's existence. I saw [sl] / strikelight made crackerop.tcl a form of cookie op and mentioned it is compatible with netbots, and any other botnet script as it is loaded prior to those scripts. Then there is raeky's/kass lloyd's op.. which according to egghelp tcl search is outdated.. so, is strikelight's crackerop.tcl my best bet? I know he's a long time, reputable tcl scripter... so guessing that is my best choice. I use superbitch and everything but I'd feel more secure with a secure op mechanism, in case a shell box was compromised or any other worst case scenarios..

Opinions appreciated, thanks!

The cracker/cookie op thing only helps against tcp hijacking - it does NOT help in any way if one of your shells is compromised.
Have you ever read "The Manual"?

Well, what if someone tried to join using the ident and host of a bot to get op? Would eggdrop op that person given channel is +autoop and +bitch / +superbitch? What is the likeliness of a TCP hijacking -- it seems rather high since the most popular botpack today (written in C) uses a cookie op mechanism on top of super bitch -- i.e. it really seems that if the coder kept it today there is quite a bit of worth to using it?
