Freenode IRC network under attack

# on December 17th 2005 at 10:43 am in Internet & Technology

My favourite IRC network is currently ‘experiencing a large-scale nuisance-bot infestation‘.

I wasn’t online at the time these attacks began so I have absolutely no idea as to what nuisance they exactly cause.

Thinking about this, the culprit is probably some 1337 h4×0r messing around with his zombie network out of some grudge, or possible a contracted job by competiting networks.

I couldn’t think of any other reasons for someone, or a group, to attack a volunteer network…
