These are the following "open source" server bot programs that work with TSora based ircd's (Hybrid, ircd-ratbox, csircd, and 2.8.21+CS). The list is arranged by category, and is likely not complete.

Server bots are defined (by me for the purpose of this list) as bot programs designed to be run by IRC operators or administrators for some purpose supporting the server. Bots designed to be used by normal users (for information, channel control, entertainment, or file transfer) are not included. Bots designed to abuse the IRC servers, network, or other users are also not included.

This is part of a series of pages providing information on programs usable with TSora IRC servers.

I have not run all of these programs. I cannot guarantee that any will even work. I also cannot guarantee they will work with all platforms.

The local copies of the programs may or may not be current. I try to keep them current but I sometimes will lag behind for a period of time.

Any entry with a gold background are programs that have been updated within the past year and/or are actively maintained.

Monitor Bots

These are bots that perform some sort of local client control and monitoring on a server.

Information/Statistics Gathering

These are bots that are run only to gather specific information about a server or a network, or to acquire statistics for further processing.

net_map A Perl script used to generate graphical IRC network maps using GraphViz's dot and neato tools. 2002-03-04 Direct Link
irclinkmap

An operator script (in Perl) that constructs a map of an IRC network. The map displays both active and potential (via STATS c) links.

Graphical map generation depends on GraphViz.

Revision 87 Local Archive
JChanBot A Perl based bot I used on irc.rt.ru to record what channels were juped (set mode +j or /resv'ed). The bot's code is generic enough to record other types of data. 2003-04-01 Direct Link

Graphical map generation depends on GraphViz.

Programming and Debugging Tools

Neither the archiver nor the authors are responsible for any damage these programs may cause to your network.

tshelper telnet-server helper, provides logging, on-connect script execution, IPv6 server and vhost/bindip support, and automatic (silent) handling of PING. [VIEWCVS offline] 0.7 Direct Link

Miscellaneous Bots

OperBot

A bot used by operators to op and/or invite themselves into designated operator channels. There is no authentication, you only have to be opered to issue the /ctcp operbot op or /ctcp operbot invite commands. The bot also handles KNOCK, and "operit" in one of its channels.

The author does not recommend using the bot in more than one or two channels.

An SSL patch is included, however it is provided at the user's risk with absolutely no support.
