HELP : Many people need help

Hello,

We have a serious problem. On our irc network many lamers are using clone attacks ( from 20 till 500 and much more ). I liked script sentinel.tcl (2.6 v), but it seems doesn't help. Bot usually quit ( maxQsendexcceded ).
Can someone modifie sentinel.tcl script, that on large clone attack ( each clone uses different proxy server ), bot changes nick to a random nick, or from a list. Or is here script what does it. Help, we don't know how to avoid it. It is terrible to look at bot logs files :[, whole added ignores.

Thanks to all
Bye

if someone wants to load up that many bots and sendQ your bots, then there isn't much you can do about it. either get a faster pipe between your bot and the server, so the sendQ never fills up that much, or work with some opers to get those lamers k/d/glined

Basicaly the problem, does not lie with sentinal, or eggdrop.

The "maxQsendexcceded" message, tells you that the queue (memory space that has all the messages stored while it sends data to you) is full, and that data is still being added to it.

A better version, different type or any other script related thing is going to get around this problem. To test this theory, try removeing all scripts from the bot, and restart the bot, when they flood, you will notice the same quit message. You should get the basic idea by then.

Maybe you could icnrease the sensitivity of the script so that it triggers earlier, and the bots don't get flooded off?

Hi again,
Thanks for yuor suggestion ;]

I have few ideas :
If bot put ignore to all : *!*@*.*, Do server knows that bot is ignoring all, and don't send him any messages ?

And if bot changes nick, clones will be attacked another person, or nothing with that nick.

Thanks

The server will still send the messages, but the bot won't process them.

Find out if your irc server supports the /SILENCE command, that will prevent the server from even sending the messages.

It's usually something like this:

putserv "silence +*" would stop all private messages
putserv "silence -*" would allow them again

Note, that's *all* private messages, so you couldn't even dcc chat your bot.
