One of the most interactive new communication techniques is keyboard-based chatting, in which the text typed on the keyboard of one person is shown straightaway on the screen of another person, or a group of people, located far away, perhaps on the other side of the world. Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is an open source distributed chat environment used widely around the Internet. There are thousands of chat programs, and there were at least hundreds of chat programs before IRC saw the first light in August 1988. What made IRC different from these other chat programs? It was and still is the possibility to network individual chat programs (IRC servers) to one another, thus forming a worldwide, distributed, and decentralized chat network. The ability to network, without maintaining a central location of control, has been the key for success for IRC, WWW, USENET News, and many other systems. Similarly, the inability to distribute control has been the reason for failure for many occasions. Giving out control and empowering others with the power to work, learn, and develop software allows for new innovations. Keeping control to yourself is often much easier to do, but it slows down progress by making it difficult, sometimes impossible, to innovate. IRC started as one summer trainee's programming exercise. A hack grew into a software development project that hundreds of people participated in and became a worldwide environment where tens of thousands of people now spend time with one another. I have found many of my present friends through IRC and learned a significant part of my present software engineering knowledge while using and working with IRC. That would not have been possible without learning from code examples and hacks from others.

Prof, Dept. of ECE, Siliguri Institute of Technology, Sukna, Siliguri, West Bengal, India 1 Network Engineer, Network Dept, Ericsson Global India Ltd, India2 Abstract:-. The Secure Internet Live Conferencing (SILC) protocol, a new generation chat protocol provides full featured conferencing services, compared to any other chat protocol. Its main interesting point is security which has been described all through the paper. We have studied how encryption and authentication of the messages in the network achieves security. The security has been the primary goal of the SILC protocol and the protocol has been designed from the day one security in mind. In this paper we have studied about different keys which have been used to achieve security in the SILC protocol. The main function of SILC is to achieve SECURITY which is most important in any chat protocol. We also have studied different command for communication in chat protocols. Keywords: SILC protocol, IM, MIME, security I.INTRODUCTION SILC stands for “SECURE INTERNET LIVE CONFERENCING”. SILC is a secure communication platform, looks similar to IRC, first protocol & quickly gained the status of being the most popular chat on the net. The security is important feature in applications & protocols in contemporary network environment. It is not anymore enough to just provide services; they need to be secure services. The SILC protocol is a new generation chat protocol which provides full featured conferencing services; additionally it provides security by encrypting & authenticating the messages in the network.

  • Marcia Knous: My Name Is Marcia Knous
    Olivia Ryan: Can you just state your name? Marcia Knous: My name is Marcia Knous. OR: Just give us your general background. How did you come to work at Mozilla and what do you do for Mozilla now? MK: Basically, I started with Mozilla back in the Netscape days. I started working with Mozilla.org shortly after AOL acquired Netscape which I believe was in like the ’99- 2000 timeframe. I started working at Netscape and then in one capacity in HR shortly after I moved working with Mitchell as part of my shared responsibility, I worked for Mozilla.org and sustaining engineering to sustain the communicator legacy code so I supported them administratively. That’s basically what I did for Mozilla. I did a lot of I guess what you kind of call of blue activities where we have a process whereby people get access to our CVS repository so I was the gatekeeper for all the CVS forms and handle all the bugs that were related to CVS requests, that kind of thing. Right now at Mozilla, I do quality assurance and I run both our domestic online store as well as our international store where we sell all of our Mozilla gear. Tom Scheinfeldt: Are you working generally alone in small groups? In large groups? How do you relate to other people working on the project? MK: Well, it’s a rather interesting project. My capacity as a QA person, we basically relate with the community quite a bit because we have a very small internal QA organization.

  • 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.

  • There Are Two Dedicated Dspace IRC (Internet Relay Chat) Channels (I.E
    IRC Code of Conduct All DSpace support channels, mailing lists and meetings follow the LYRASIS Code of Conduct. We ask you to remain respectful in all discussions. We also encourage you to report any violations of the code of conduct to LYRASIS (see the Code of Conduct for more details). DSpace chat has moved to Slack Our old IRC channels are essentially unmonitored these days. Instead, we recommend joining our DSpace.org Slack for any chat-based support. You are also welcome to email your question to the dspace-tech Mailing List as an alternative, or choose one of the other DSpace Sup port options. There are two dedicated DSpace IRC (internet relay chat) channels (i.e. "rooms") on the irc.freenode.net server: #dspace (irc://irc.freenode.net/dspace) - all DSpace discussions and live Q & A. This channel is unlogged. #duraspace (irc://irc.freenode.net/duraspace) - Old duraspace community channel (no longer used). As of July 2018, this channel is unlogged. Pri or years logs are still available/archived. If you do not have access to an IRC client, or are new to IRC, the following web interfaces are very easy way to get started: Login to #dspace IRC at: http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=dspace Enter in a nickname of your choice (e.g. firstName_lastName) & click "Connect" Login to #duraspace IRC at: http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=duraspace Enter in a nickname of your choice (e.g. firstName_lastName) & click "Connect" Or you can login to both IRC channels at the same time: http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=duraspace,dspace For a list of IRC client software, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients Many current Instant Messaging (IM) clients also support IRC.
