[05:58:37] KnownSyntax I woulda said more modern version of SearchIRC because of the forum piece, but that works too with netsplit.de

[06:02:22] KnownSyntax To be fair scanning for open IRC networks ain't nothing malicious, can’t tell you how many scans I would get a day hitting

[06:02:59] KnownSyntax my home IP when I had some random ports exposed (even now with my Plex server exposed I get a lot of random ass traffic and connections non-Plex related to that one port).

[06:04:00] KnownSyntax I’m not saying it can’t be used maliciously, was just commenting scanning in general isn’t until you try to auth or send random details to do more than probe. 🤦‍♂️

[06:04:03] KnownSyntax Rip

[06:05:33] KnownSyntax Probably could find a ton of non-listed smaller IRC networks doing that, maybe even have a subsection of “unlisted” networks that would show small details about them just to keep tabs on the overall IRC Heath year over year. Don’t think anyone has done that before (or at all).

[06:31:56] KnownSyntax Sorry for the late reply lol

[06:32:41] KnownSyntax But I never noted you haven’t shared that, but something IRCDriven could do in the future to expand those who don’t always register their networks (or know such a thing even exists).

[06:35:26] KnownSyntax Lol yeah, on my side project I get a ton of SSH failures/requests daily - basically what everyone does on known open ports for servers (I.e. SSH, FTP, etc.) people do for IRC. I think it wasn’t so common before recently as IRC was new-ish and everyone was on top of trying to cut down on IPv4 spam (DNSBL, BOPM/HOPM services). Nowadays you have ISPs recycling IPv4 addresses, shit, some even give all customers a static address ISP-wide (I

[06:35:26] KnownSyntax believe Sky ISP does this for all residential customers).

[06:36:43] KnownSyntax I’m sure once we ever (if ever) make the cut over to IPv6 it'll be harder at first for this to be replicated, but given time I’m sure it be the same as it is now with IPv4 in terms of people scanning IPv6 blocks for open ports.

[06:38:33] KnownSyntax Huh had no idea ircstats.org even existed

[06:40:02] KnownSyntax Lmao @ FBI raid. They can be careless, even for those who try to brute force them into SSH ports. The responsibility always shifts to the owner (admins?) of the server, which many shrug off or use fail2ban (or other external software with IP block timeouts/bans for failures). Nothing new, even on a commercial level.
