Op - An "operator" is a person with some degree of control over a channel. In a channel, op status is indicated by an @ symbol before the person's nick. An Op can kick or ban people, change the topic, or do other fun stuff. How much an Op can do is determined by what settings the channel founder set.

IRC - "Internet Relay Chat" is a form of chatting on-line with other people from around the world by connecting to an IRC server using a program for IRC.

There are several IRC networks, such as EFnet, DALnet, Undernet, WTnet, etc.

IRC-admin - The "IRC administrator" is a person who has access to all files concerning IRCd.

Guide to Choose a mIRC Script

mIRC has its own programming language that allows scripters to enhance mIRC by adding new features, changing the layout, and just about anything else.

Many new users rush out to try scripts blindly. This is both risky and unnecessary, because mIRC has many advanced features built in already, and adding scripts written by strangers can add new features, but they can also slow down or cripple mIRC, or worse yet, cause you to "hacked" just like if you opened email attachments blindly. - irchelp.org

Here is some guide how to choose a mIRC scripts (taking from irchelp.org - editing)

Safe Scripts:

Where do you find safe scripts? Well, if you don't understand mIRC scripting, you are at the mercy of that scripts author. About all that is left is relying on someone else's guidance. The best place to start if you are new to IRC and just starting is finding a script archive website that REVIEWS the scripts they host.

Just because a script site has been around for quite awhile doesn't mean all the scripts there are safe. Over the years I have seen both archive websites and very popular scripts go from being useful and trustworthy to tools to hack your computer. You have to accept the responsibility for any script you choose to use, where ever you obtain that script from. The information here is simply a helpful guide, not a form of assurance.

Kinds of Scripts:

Purpose:

There are thousands of scripts with different purposes. Some people want lots of colorful popups .. others want to control channel behavior .. the next user wants to limit spam advertisements. The "best" script is one that fits your needs. You have to decide what those are. What exactly do you want the script to do for you?

Full scripts handle lots of different functions, usually including flood attack protection, file transfers, marking you away when you are idle, and more.

Addon scripts are more specific in purpose. A single addon script will handle setting you away, another addon script will deal with floods or attacks. There are thousands of addon scripts written for different purposes from fservers to memo handling.

Format:

Scripts can be a single file, usually with an mrc file extension. Normally that file can be written as a "Remote" script. There are three script sections in mIRC: Remotes, Aliases, and Popups. Remotes work without you needing to interact via the keyboard or a mouse. Aliases are for keyboard shortcuts and Popups are written for your mouse.

However, as mIRC scripting advanced, it became possible to add aliases and popups to a "remote" script. This blurred the distinction between the three sections. For more info on how the three sections work and are interrelated, read the current mIRC FAQ and the mIRC Help file that came with your copy of mIRC.

Signs of a Backdoor or Hacking in a Script:

Script features to be very very careful of ..

1. Any scripts (usually found bundled as zip or rar files) that include an associated file that ends with the extension .exe or .bat [Ed. note - many other extensions are also dangerous]

2. Scripts that force you to join a particular channel or message a specific user

3. Scripts that have /sockopen or any unexpected "Socket" components written into them.

4. Scripts that require you to use a .dll (dynamic link library) file that they provide.

Also: Scripts that advertise themselves are, at best, rude and are more likely to have a backdoor.

Note that if you are looking for a "socket based script" it will obviously have socket components in it. The same for a dll based script. My best advice for new users is not to use these unless you can personally evaluate the script in question or you have been around IRC long enough to know someone you can trust that is expert enough to do it for you.

Popular scripts are sometimes converted into backdoors and offered to new users. The same for popular dll files. You spend some time on IRC and start seeing people use a particular script, finally you find it at some website. But the script you find may not be the one that was originally written. A malicious individual may have taken the original script or dll and added a virus feature to it and then reposted it. You think you are getting the nice, safe original and the next thing you know you have opened a door into your computer. So be careful.

mIRC Channel Lists

How to find a channel
On IRC, channels are where people meet and chat. You may know them as "chat rooms". These are a few pointers for finding channels:

* Want to join a specific channel?
You need to know the name of the network or server and the channel name such as #whatevername (channel names start with a # symbol and do not contain spaces). If you only have the channel name but not the network, you can still try the multi-network lists below.

* Want to get a list of channels on your current server?
Once you connect to a server, you can get a full list of all public channels on that server or network by typing /list (on a new line in any window, beginning with the / character). Realize that on major networks, this list could include tens of thousands of channels, and may even cause you to flood yourself off. If this happens, see our troubleshooting guide or just use the web search engines below.

* Want to find people in your own city, or a specific person?
IRC is not set up to make it easy to trace people geographically or personally. You can search through a /list output as described above to find channels for reasonably large cities/states/countries such as #kampung or #bulgaria. Many of the channels are "secret" and won't be shown in such lists. Alternatively, you can always try guessing the channel name and /join #whatever. Note, however, that people in the channel could be from anywhere, not just that place. Likewise, you can't just search for somebody by their real name or location. You're probably better off just finding people with common interests regardless of where they are, and just chat and have fun.

* Want to search for a specific topic?
You can try /list *keyword* (in mIRC you don't need the asterisks). Note that on EFnet and many other nets, you end up doing a full /list in the background, then the matching entries are displayed to you. It may be faster to just do that full /list and then search through the results yourself, or just use the web search features below.

mIRC SCRIPT (2)

mIRC has its own programming language that allows scripters to enhance mIRC by adding new features, changing the layout, and just about anything else.

Many new users rush out to try scripts blindly. This is both risky and unnecessary, because mIRC has many advanced features built in already, and adding scripts written by strangers can add new features, but they can also slow down or cripple mIRC, or worse yet, cause you to "hacked" just like if you opened email attachments blindly. - irchelp.org

With major upgrades to our file-server and endless upgrades to the core itself Polaris X is really built to support the users choice for what they want their irc script to look and feel like. Polaris, quoted by www.dslreports.com's irc guide, is known as the grandfather of irc and after 4 years of dormency we release this script with much anticipation and pride. We hope that you will all enjoy it as much as we have. Its been an long process and a time consuming one.

Compatible with: mIRC v6.03
Review by: Hawkee
Clearly, a lot of time and effort has gone into Chaos script. It features a very user friendly interface that includes a configuration window similar to mIRC's traditional options window. You can load and unload features as you see fit; among these are: E-Mail Sender, File Downloader, File Seeker, and an mp3 player. My only gripe is the inability to expand the log manager window so I can more clearly read the logs. Sometimes it's helpful to have control over the dialog size. Overall, I'm very pleased with this script's display of dialogs and incorporation into mIRC.

Servers and IRC Networks

The servers in a network maintain the contact between you and all other users. If you want to enjoy your IRC sessions it is important to find servers that work (fast) for you (ie. that are nearby to you) on networks with the atmosphere you like.

mIRC comes with a rather complete list of servers but you can always download an updated version of the servers.ini file. Simply save the servers.ini file to the mIRC directory on your harddisk (c:\program files\mirc\ or similar) and enjoy this refresh!! The new IRC networks and servers will immediately be available to you from within mIRC. Send all updates, remarks and questions regarding this list to servers@mirc.com

IRC Networks

To give you an idea of the vast amount of IRC networks available we gathered together some short introductions to the most important IRC networks available. Of all of these large networks the most important servers are included in mIRC's distribution files. We'd like to point to the irc://Links provided in these lists; click on a "irc://Link" and mIRC will be launched by your browser and connect to the selected network!

A good and quite complete list of IRC networks is provided by Netsplit. You could browse their list if your looking for something new :-)

irc://QuakeNet - QuakeNet is the place to be for everybody who likes a little fragging, or more ;-) With its huge amount of users you'll surely find people available for a game of Quake, or other games.

QuakeNet website http://www.quakenet.org/
QuakeNet servers http://www.quakenet.org/servers/
QuakeNet statistics http://mrtg.quakenet.org/

irc://EFnet - Eris Free net was the largest IRC network for years and years, with over 100K online users on an average day. Because of its massive size EFnet was having lots of problems with lag, netsplits, op hacking and various other things but recent server improvements solved most of these problems.

EFnet website http://www.efnet.org/
EFnet Servers http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/networks/servers/efnet.html
EFnet Servers http://www.efnet.org/?module=servers
EFnet Map http://www.efnet.org/?module=map

irc://Undernet - Undernet is a good alternative to EFnet. It provides a friendly and stable IRC network. The Undernet is growing in size very rapidly due to the continous improvements to the servers and the information and help provided to its users. Currently it holds about 100K users.

Undernet website http://www.undernet.org/
Undernet servers http://www.undernet.org/servers.php
