#sy on quakenet

[Hoi]

(3:39:39 PM) Adv [~Adv@Adv.users.quakenet.org] entered the room.
(3:39:41 PM) Adv: Done. Nox send join command.
(3:40:11 PM) mode (+b *!*@ip24-253-23-87.lv.lv.cox.net) by Q
(3:40:11 PM) detrino left the room (Kicked by Q (Authorised users only.)).
(3:40:11 PM) mode (+b H0i) by Q
(3:40:11 PM) You have been kicked by Q: (Authorised users only.)

Uhm, wtf is happening? I was banned and 'nox' has +o status.

My first guess is that services went down for a while or something like that.
On irc normally you can't register a channel with users inside.

[jK]

I feared that something like that would happen.
The problem was/is that we don't had a Q or L in the channel, so some damn script kiddy could came along with such a bot (again he needed to 'hack' QuakeNet to get such one) and kick/ban all users to take possession of it.

So we need to contact QuakeNet mods to either get a Q/L for #spring / #springrts, or to get rid of that script kiddy.

[Hoi]

So what happend to Q? There was enough activity , I don't see a reason for it disappearing. The best thing is to contact quakenet and request to get the channel back + Q.

i could login a bot and takeover channel again or try to nuke current op, but i need some proxy to login , cause my ip is banned.

PS: I don't think they have good intentions with the channel maybe they are going to use it to control a botnet

I've been idling there so many years. Please tell me it's only a temporary disruption and not the end!

[Hoi]

I will try to speak to ops.

This seems to be the only solution, but they already registerd Q. Any ideas?

[tizbac]

Yes they have , phantasm reported the case, maybe we could try to exploit 'Sy bot that is in the channel , if it uses SQL db and has sql injection vulnerability we can make it OP someone that we want and kick everyone & set new founder, assuming that the founder is the bot.

[Hoi]

Hmm, interesting. Why not give it a try? But make sure you can do it fast so they won't notice. If It works then maybe I could get +o on the channel to keep it alive. I'm there daily, and it needs one user with chanlev to log in and go to the channel every 40 days, or Q will disappear.

[Hoi]

It's back, irc operators helped.

[jK]

thx

[aegis]

I'm now the channel owner, and I can set a few of the lurkers there to +o to make sure it stays alive in case I'm somehow away from internet for more than forty days.

(users need to auth with Q to receive flags)

Cool, thanks.
