Abstract Introduction Methodology
Kajetan Hinner (2000): Statistics of major IRC networks: methods and summary of user count. M/C: A Journal of Media and Culture 3(4). <originally: http://www.api-network.com/mc/0008/count.html> now: http://www.media-culture.org.au/0008/count.html - Actual figures and updates: www.hinner.com/ircstat/ Abstract The article explains a successful approach to monitor the major worldwide Internet Relay Chat (IRC) networks. It introduces a new research tool capable of producing detailed and accurate statistics of IRC network’s user count. Several obsolete methods are discussed before the still ongoing Socip.perl program is explained. Finally some IRC statistics are described, like development of user figures, their maximum count, IRC channel figures, etc. Introduction Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a text-based service, where people can meet online and chat. All chat is organized in channels which a specific topic, like #usa or #linux. A user can be taking part in several channels when connected to an IRC network. For a long time the only IRC network has been EFnet (Eris-Free Network, named after its server eris.berkeley.edu), founded in 1990. The other three major IRC networks are Undernet (1993), DALnet (1994) and IRCnet, which split off EFnet in June 1996. All persons connecting to an IRC network at one time create that IRC network’s user space. People are constantly signing on and off, the total number of users ever been to a specific IRC network could be called social space of that IRC network. It is obvious, that the IRC network’s social space by far outnumbers its user space. -
Users As Co-Designers of Software-Based Media: the Co-Construction of Internet Relay Chat
Users as Co-Designers of Software-Based Media: The Co-Construction of Internet Relay Chat Guillaume Latzko-Toth Université Laval AbsTrAcT While it has become commonplace to present users as co-creators or “produsers” of digital media, their participation is generally considered in terms of content production. The case of Internet Relay Chat (IRC) shows that users can be fully involved in the design process, a co-construction in the sense of Science and Technology Studies (STS): a collective, simultaneous, and mutual construction of actors and artifacts. A case study of the early de - velopment of two IRC networks sheds light on that process and shows that “ordinary users” managed to invite themselves as co-designers of the socio-technical device. The article con - cludes by suggesting that IRC openness to user agency is not an intrinsic property of software- based media and has more to do with its architecture and governance structure. Keywords Digital media; Communication technology; Co-construction; Design process; Ordinary user résumé Il est devenu banal de présenter l’usager comme cocréateur ou « produtilisateur » des médias numériques, mais sa participation est généralement envisagée comme une production de contenus. Le cas d’IRC (Internet Relay Chat) montre que les usagers des médias à support logiciel peuvent s’engager pleinement dans le processus de conception, une co-construction au sens des Science and Technology Studies : une construction collective, simultanée et mutuelle des acteurs et des artefacts. Une étude de cas portant sur le développement de deux réseaux IRC éclaire ce processus et montre que les « usagers ordinaires » sont parvenus à s’inviter comme co-concepteurs du dispositif. -

Ambiguous Non-Responses in Internet Relay Chat
Select a page... Volume 13 Number 1, 2003 TIME WILL TELL: AMBIGUOUS NON-RESPONSES ON INTERNET RELAY CHAT E. Sean Rintel University at Albany, State University of New York Jeffery Pittam The University of Queensland Joan Mulholland The University of Queensland Abstract. The design of Internet Relay Chat (IRC) affords for, and itself produces, non-response situations that are not possible in FTF or telephone interaction. These system-occasioned non-responses produce almost isomorphic stimuli to participant non-responses. Situations thus arise in which non- responses are interpersonally accountable despite agentive ambiguity. This study explores four intersections of participant-action and system-occasioned non-responses. An extension to Pomerantz's (1984b) 'pursuing a response' problems/solutions is proposed. The impact of IRC's design on its popularity is discussed in contrast to more recent chat systems. Suggestions are made for active and passive presence and non-response accounting features in future chat systems. When speakers perform actions that solicit responses, non-responses are meaningful to both participants (Pomerantz, 1984b). Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a computer-mediated communication (CMC) system with a sequential interaction environment similar to FTF or telephone interaction. However, IRC's design affords for, and itself produces, non- response situations that are not possible in FTF or telephone interaction. These system-occasioned non-responses produce almost isomorphic stimuli to participant non-responses. Situations thus arise in which non-responses are interpersonally accountable despite agentive ambiguity. This study explores four intersections of participant-action and system-occasioned non-responses: those arising from opening turn-coordination, presenting or determining user identity; transmission-reception; and IRC commands. -
Trojans and Malware on the Internet an Update
Attitude Adjustment: Trojans and Malware on the Internet An Update Sarah Gordon and David Chess IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center Yorktown Heights, NY Abstract This paper continues our examination of Trojan horses on the Internet; their prevalence, technical structure and impact. It explores the type and scope of threats encountered on the Internet - throughout history until today. It examines user attitudes and considers ways in which those attitudes can actively affect your organization’s vulnerability to Trojanizations of various types. It discusses the status of hostile active content on the Internet, including threats from Java and ActiveX, and re-examines the impact of these types of threats to Internet users in the real world. Observations related to the role of the antivirus industry in solving the problem are considered. Throughout the paper, technical and policy based strategies for minimizing the risk of damage from various types of Trojan horses on the Internet are presented This paper represents an update and summary of our research from Where There's Smoke There's Mirrors: The Truth About Trojan Horses on the Internet, presented at the Eighth International Virus Bulletin Conference in Munich Germany, October 1998, and Attitude Adjustment: Trojans and Malware on the Internet, presented at the European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research in Aalborg, Denmark, March 1999. Significant portions of those works are included here in original form. Descriptors: fidonet, internet, password stealing trojan, trojanized system, trojanized application, user behavior, java, activex, security policy, trojan horse, computer virus Attitude Adjustment: Trojans and Malware on the Internet Trojans On the Internet… Ever since the city of Troy was sacked by way of the apparently innocuous but ultimately deadly Trojan horse, the term has been used to talk about something that appears to be beneficial, but which hides an attack within. -
Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/applications-for-the-mesh/118-interne... Internet Relay Chat (IRC) Written by Rusty Haddock/AE5AE INSTALLING an IRC Server (Internet Relay Chat) on your WRT54G,GS,GL Version 1.02 April 2 nd , 2014 Rusty Haddock/AE5AE NEW AND IMPROVED! WHAT THIS DOCUMENT IS. This document will attempt to describe how to install an IRC server on a WRT54G, GS, or GL Broadband-Hamnet TM node. This server program is called ngircd -- Next Generation IRC Daemon (or service). This document is written to get you up and running. Unlike the previous versions, no knowledge of shell access or the 'vi' editor is needed, because a minimal, yet unique, configuration has been created for you. WHAT THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT. This document will NOT even START to tell you how to administer or control said server program because there are plenty of help files and tutorials on the Internet. Hint: Google is your friend. Second hint: http://www.irchelp.org Third hint: http://ngircd.barton.de WHAT IS AN IRC SERVER? An Internet Relay Chat (IRC) Server is a program that facilitates real-time, keyboard-to-keyboard chat sessions, not only between two people, but between many people simultaneously. Conversations are held in channels (which are synonymous with 'rooms') and new channels can (usually) be created as needed by the users with the /join command. The users make use of an IRC client program to connect to an IRC server and access the channels available. WHY WOULD I WANT TO USE AN IRC SERVER? An IRC server will permit simple text messaging between any users of a mesh with an IRC client program. -
Botnets, Zombies, and Irc Security
Botnets 1 BOTNETS, ZOMBIES, AND IRC SECURITY Investigating Botnets, Zombies, and IRC Security Seth Thigpen East Carolina University Botnets 2 Abstract The Internet has many aspects that make it ideal for communication and commerce. It makes selling products and services possible without the need for the consumer to set foot outside his door. It allows people from opposite ends of the earth to collaborate on research, product development, and casual conversation. Internet relay chat (IRC) has made it possible for ordinary people to meet and exchange ideas. It also, however, continues to aid in the spread of malicious activity through botnets, zombies, and Trojans. Hackers have used IRC to engage in identity theft, sending spam, and controlling compromised computers. Through the use of carefully engineered scripts and programs, hackers can use IRC as a centralized location to launch DDoS attacks and infect computers with robots to effectively take advantage of unsuspecting targets. Hackers are using zombie armies for their personal gain. One can even purchase these armies via the Internet black market. Thwarting these attacks and promoting security awareness begins with understanding exactly what botnets and zombies are and how to tighten security in IRC clients. Botnets 3 Investigating Botnets, Zombies, and IRC Security Introduction The Internet has become a vast, complex conduit of information exchange. Many different tools exist that enable Internet users to communicate effectively and efficiently. Some of these tools have been developed in such a way that allows hackers with malicious intent to take advantage of other Internet users. Hackers have continued to create tools to aid them in their endeavors. -

Back then, online to the average user meant a telephone connection directly to either another computer or to an online service, such as CompuServe or AOL. The Internet now dominates all online activity. In popular parlance, the Internet is synonymous with the World Wide Web, although it is much more, as we’ll explain in this book. The Internet can be described generally as a “network” of networks. It is a transportation vehicle for applications. In fact, the visual representations of the Net look like a road map. If lines are drawn between each connection, between larger and larger connections, and between smaller and smaller ones, the end result is a web of connections—a virtual road map. This book is divided into four rough sections. The first is for beginners. It is to get anyone up to speed quickly with the information needed about the Web. Each chapter has recommended Web sites (to type the address, or Uniform Resource Locator [URL] into your Web browser) to help direct you. The second section has more detailed information about downloads, email, secu- rity, and information on virus protection. The third part is about how to create a Web site, Web tools, blogging, and what you can add to your Web site (such as streaming media, RSS feeds, and XML, among other things). The fourth part is by far the densest. -
