InspIRCd v4 is still early in development!
If you use this branch you may experience crashes, weird behaviour, and unannounced breaking changes.
You probably want to use InspIRCd v3 instead.
The "conn_waitpong" Module (v4)
Description
This module requires all clients to respond to a PING request before they can fully connect. This is useful for preventing drive-by attacks from sources that can send data but not respond.
Configuration
To load this module use the following <module>
tag:
<module name="conn_waitpong">
<waitpong>
The <waitpong>
tag defines settings about how the conn_waitpong module should behave. This tag can only be defined once.
Name | Type | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
killonbadreply | Boolean | Yes | Whether to kill clients that respond with an incorrect ping value. |
sendsnotice | Boolean | Yes | Whether to tell a user to run /QUOTE PONG ... when waiting for a response. |
Example Usage
<waitpong killonbadreply="yes"
sendsnotice="no">
