[ibis]

A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden


Peter Kornherr <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Socks-checking IRC-bot
System name: socksbot
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

The project \'socksbot\' is an IRC-related project.



The goal is to build a working and fast scanner for SOCKS 4/5-servers and other 
proxies without authentication. The first versions will sit on channels and 
inform the channelmembers of the open relay joining, later it will be able to 
remove relays via kick- and ban-commands, maybe later it will be able to link 
as server to become able to kill and/or run as part of an ircd to reject on 
signon. 



The final goal is to build an alternative to ircd\'s socks-check via \"iauth\". 
And to improve my knowledge of Perl and IRC.



And to help people to secure channels and servers, of course ;)
