- 14. How do I hack ChanOp on IRC?
-
- Find a server that is split from the rest of IRC and create your own
- channel there using the name of the channel you want ChanOp on. When that
- server reconnects to the net, you will have ChanOp on the real channel. If
- you have ServerOp on a server, you can cause it to split on purpose.
-
- 15. How do I modify the IRC client to hide my real username?
-
- Get the IRC client from cs.bu.edu /irc/clients. Look at the source code
- files irc.c and ctcp.c. The code you are looking for is fairly easy to
- spot. Change it. Change the username code in irc.c and the ctcp information
- code in ctcp.c. Compile and run your client.
- Here are the diffs from a sample hack of the IRC client. Your client code
- will vary slightly depending on what IRC client version you are running.
