#ifap irc
-- What to do when attacked.

Introduction
I've made this guide since most of you are unaware of what steps need to be taken when attacked by join/part flood or CTCP flood attacks. It is a simple process; I'll try my best to make it simpler to grasp.

JOIN/PART FLOOD BOT ATTACK
This is when we have replicating Bots joining and parting the channel, causing a heavy network stress and flood.
It looks somewhat like this;

CCCCCCC (CCC!Mibbit@blabla.blabla.com) has joined #ifap
CCCCCCC (CCC!Mibbit@blabla.blabla.com) has left #ifap

CCCCCCC (CCC!Mibbit@blabla.blabla.com) has joined #ifap
CCJJJJkkkk (Ckasa!Mibbit@blalba.com) has joined #ifap
CASJCAS (casa!Mibbit@bals.com) has joined #ifap

And so on.

Now, what you want to do when this happens.

Step 1) Set the channel to invite-only.
-> /mode +i #ifap

Step 2) Kick everybody out from the channel, except the operators.

Step 3) Set an invite on *!Mibbit@* so anyone using www.isexychat.com to connect to #ifap, can do so.
-> /mode +I *!Mibbit@*

Step 4) Set a higher join/part interval. Say, one join per minute.
-> /mode -j
-> /mode +j 1:60
(mode +j [number of joins]:[number of seconds])

Step 5) Mute the channel, and unset channel invite-only.
-> /mode +m #ifap
-> /mode -i #ifap

Step 6) Now, the regular lot which connects to #ifap via www.isexychat.com will be allowed to enter, but not speak. You may allow them to speak by unsetting channel mode +m (/mode -m #ifap). In a matter of thirty minutes, remove the invitation for *!Mibbit@*, so we test whether the Bots have stopped the attack.

-> /mode -I *!Mibbit@*

(A) If the Bots have stopped the attack; cool. It is over.

(B) If it persists, set the channel to invite-only again. It is possible that all Bots use the same connection. Copy down their IP and ban it. Then, un-set channel modes invite-only. If the attack persists, set invitation on *!Mibbit@* once again.

CTCP/NOTICE FLOOD ATTACKS
These are directed towards channel operators. It is really easy to avoid.
