[ Just Say No to IRC :-]
I just stumbled across a freshmeat announcement of SecureServ: About: SecureServ is an IRC trojan detector. It's much like a virus scanner, but aimed at IRC networks. Using several methods, including version checks, behavior analysis, and general pattern matching, it aims to detect trojans, viruses, and floodbots which connect to your IRC network. Its "brains" are based on a "Definition file" which contains information on how to detect trojans. To update detection for new trojans, you only have to download a new file. <URL:http://www.neostats.net/index.php?id=81> While I've not had occasion to use IRC yet myself, I do like to bookmark things like this against a rainy day. -Bennett
