IRC Defender is a Perl program for protecting your IRC network against virus drones, general troublemakers, ban evasion, and attacks. It is fully modular, able to unload and load modules on the fly, and comes with several modules to ban anatoly/fyle virus drones, block unauthorised cgi:irc sites, conduct ctcp version surveys, maintain ctcp version blacklists, and (most importantly) set regexp-based akills.

Release Notes: This release adds a module that detects IRC join/part floods network wide and is able to notify admins and lock channels temporarily, a nickflood detection module capable of detecting nick flooding network wide, and a module to ensure that only nicks matching a regexp list can gain operator privileges. It has Debian-like dependencies within its modules so that each module PROVIDEs a set of features and other modules DEPEND on the features and can choose to bail if these features are not satisfied.


Release Notes: Modular support was added. Base modules are included.
