| Summary | 0005677: Feature Request: Identify Authorised WebIRC Clients | ||||
| Description | A lot of web clients are available these days - some good, and some bad, but the real evil comes from people who are trying to deceive IRC Operators into believing they are using one of these IRC Clients. Deception is rife. It's very easy to pretend you're coming from Mibbit just by faking a specific ident and Gecos, so to the naked eye a /whois won't tell a real from a fake. My suggestion is to add a line to the user's swhois if they are coming from a authorised WebIRC block. Solution suggested by means of a patch in the Additional Information section | ||||

The "third/showwebirc" module does exactly that. It would be a good idea to add more information (for opers only - webirc block name, gateway IP) though. |
|
|
I agree on adding more information such as which webirc block was used for the authentication, I know at least one other IRCd that does this and it has been useful, said IRCd also stores the IP and rDNS of the actual TCP connection separately for informational purposes too. |

Thanks @k4be - I'll use yours :) |
