Walking into IRC these days is like going unprotected into the jungle. The
mosquitoes start to swarm instantly. I use the iplogger package and you
should see how a tail -f /var/log/daemon.log starts to scroll as soon as I
walk onto IRC. That is why I stay away from it. One of those little
bastards might get lucky and discover a hole that has not been fixed yet.
It is usually kids and they are trying all the obvious hacks trying to see
if they can get a prompt. Once I tell them that I can see what they are
doing, they usually run away.
