You could figure out the exact mechanism used to generate the gatekeeper ID instead of relying on re-installing it each time. From there you could use something like Ollydbg to patch the function. You could also bypass using the ocx at all if you determine how the auth works. It ended up involving 18 instances of the number '6' when generating the gatekeeper id at one point. This is how you could specify the exact gatekeeper id you wanted. eXonyte was also privy to how this worked. I am unsure if there was ever a public release of information explaining how the gatekeeper was generated.

One of the first ways I remember unbanning yourself was be deleting and redownloading the ocx. The guest nick would have a new gatekeeper id at that point. Signing in of course would give you a fixed gatekeeperpassport id so staying guest helped you get around it. Of course unkickable names were really useful too when they were working.

/toolbar -r would reset them lol:P

well to clear the toolbar for starters you can just type or add to your script /toolbar -c this will clear it of all buttons.

i also like gettok for dynamic arrays such as keep-alive socket sessions that are read into a variable using sockread, it's great for organizing and managing your data, on *:sockread:sockname: { var %var sockread %var tokenize 32 %var if ($1 == PING) { echo -a Server: $1- } } that bit of code sets a variable (var) reads the data into the variable (var) then 'tokenizes' %var and would use chr(32) , a space, as a delimiter. then you can use $gettok(%var,1,32) to return the first value and even better since it's seperated by spaces depending on where your using the code you can use $1 $2 etc.... identifiers on your tokenized string. tokens are greate:) especially mixed with regex imo

people are trying to paste Àú or %C0%FA directly into the nickname box on the local site i think, so instead of it coming out like :[name:[ it comes out Àú[nameÀú[. It should be understood that when you use combos like Àú they must be set in mIRC using /nick Àú etc.., if you put them in the nickbox the only way they MIGHT work is if you FIRST change the pages encoding to ISO-8859-1 and THEN Submit the nick. as for something like %C0%FA that must be inserted directly though the headers as they get sent to the nickname processing application. Ive built a form for people that does this on my local server but right now it's only set up for one site.

ive received some complaints that this doesnt work with the providers nickchange forms. I have made one for SPCN (sparkpea) so far if anyone else thinks they are experiencing a similar problem let me know.

As of right now these are working to produce a ( and a ) that will successfully be interpreted by the OCX as valid parentheses and create an Emoticon nick once again in MSN Chat as the more common ones had been blocked. I never understood why they didnt just cut to the chase if they didnt like it and make the nick not able to contain graphical information even if the symbols were genuine but whatever I will add more upon request. if anyone wants a particular symbol let me know and ill see if i can figure it out:) The mirc combo for ( is Àè and for ) is Àé If you are sending it in a URL type encoded form, then this is the url encoded representations: ( %C0%E8 ) %C0%E9 eg %C0%E86%C0%E9 would be a devil face:) and Àú or %C0%FA is a : great for :[ bats Anyhow it should be fun for most of the sparkpea users and anyone else hosting the ocx for nostalgia/chat etc.

graphically im not sure, but you could perhaps make one served off your ip or one that will ultimately connect to it, and serve them the image you select, then from there you could do fun things liike have it randomly select a dif avatar every time they request a page with one or more of your posts on it, and also you could then make a nice updater to keep track of when someone reads a thread with your image in it, and it would also let you know about any views to your profile that way. and from there you could have it check those referring pages for the next 5 mins or whatever for any updates. especially since you are a mod and you can see IP's then you can start making custom avatars using php GD or something to say Hi <name>! instead of just the IP. I dunno just a quarky idea ive done in the past was kinda fun to keep me occupied on the side. i dunno if this is at all an idea you are lookin for but hey there it is! there's a lot more you could do with it but i better not say here lol (6)

Yes an oline does have to do with setting particular operator privileges as defined by the server or it's corresponding configuration file. In particular i was just being silly but i wasn't paying attention close enough to that part of the sentence, lol i striked it out as such but everything else should be considered correct as the change between oline, and online does not create change within the proceeding point made thereafter. Thank you for pointing that out because I read right over that part as 'online' and when i began my post and added the quote and copy pasted i saw oline and remembered having read it as online and didn't read that part of the quoted sentence again to realize it should actually be oline and there is no typo as I had thought. It is good to see others with great attention to detail, especially someone working on a theme right now. lol. Perhaps I will have coffee then post, next time =).

i think the above quote by the person there, which im assuming isnt you chain, is contradictory in the fact that they claim not to be perfect but ensure that others will not be able to kill them off the internet. contradictory and perhaps even a provocative invitation for those who think they could indeed kill them or somebody off the internet. The first part is correct, no IRC Network or any network for that matter is 'perfect'. and as such there is always the possibility of attack. The only reason i state these things, is that by them stating that no one can kill them off the internet, it seems to have a certain sense of arrogance which lets face it, we all like to be arrogant at times sure, but what worries me about that is often times arrogance is accompanied by a lack of supervision, and an increase in underestimating the end user which ultimately would lead to future applications being less secure if secure at all and possibly mean they think all current applications are secure and keep others from actually pentesting the currently operating software which is a big mistake. My soul point here is i hope they do not let arrogance get in the way of those who they say are most important to them, the end users to whom they give a place to freely express their views etc. that quote, no im not commenting on the obvious typo of "online" spelled 'oline'. Yes that is a good security but how is it locked down by IP if it's done via an sql record holding the operators IP and even oper string then this isnt going to always stop an intruder as in my pen testing i have found countless sites from chat networks to established universities that suffer from SQL vulnerabilities which give up ALL their information contained within their DB and infact let you insert your own info, so of course one could see how this isnt any more secure then their syntax. and to top it off, that doesnt really secure or 'lock down' their end users accounts and information. I havent actually ever been to their server and im not biased in this post toward any particular facet or side. But i like to make the point to always stay on your toes and avoid taunting anyone even in a passive manner. I hope they continue to run their server without hindrance as I am a big supporter of a persons right to at the least say the things they wish to say so to them i say good luck.

dark + aligned and for right now simple I think its looking good, keep up the good work =) things will start coming back to you as you go along.
