DCC SEND startkeylogger 0 0 0

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

The phrase DCC SEND startkeylogger 0 0 0 is was (Norton fixed it, although some people are still vulnerable because they are fucktards) frequently used by H4x0rs on IRC to make Norton and some retarded Linksys / Netgear routers shit on the connection. It had highly dramatic effects, causing pricks who use Norton or shitty Linksys / Netgear routers to drop off the face of the internets, often flooding the channel with spam. It only needs to be DCC SEND (14+ chrs) See: startkeylogger

Example

This is what it looks like when a H4x0r unleashes his vagina powers upon the IRC channel:

PRO TIPS

To maximize the drama, follow these steps:

Connect to an IRC Network
/list all Channels with more than 50 members and join all of them
/amsg DCC SEND startkeylogger 0 0 0 or any other command that causes your client to send a message to all channels
You will probably get kicked from most chans. Write down the nicks of those who got pwnt.
Convert these names into a script that sends each of them message, containing the evil words
Give them some time to reconnect, then execute your script
Execute previous step until you get banned from the network.
???
PROFIT

Alternatively you can make this your wireless network id to annoy people within your general vicinity.

Filtering this from your network

I've thrown together some quick and dirty UnrealIRCd spamfilter commands to help deal with these exploits. Refinements and improvements welcome!

/spamfilter + cpnNPqat block - norton_firewall_exploit startkeylogger
/spamfilter + cpnNPqat block - norton_firewall_exploit stopkeylogger
/spamfilter + cpNPqat block - linksys_netgear_exploit ^DCC SEND ..............

(The last one has 14 dots at the end of the pattern.)

If you want to add these to your config file, use

spamfilter {
  regex "^DCC SEND ..............";
  target { channel; private; private-notice; part; quit; away; topic; };
  action block;
  reason "linksys netgear exploit";
};
spamfilter {
  regex "startkeylogger";
  target { channel; private; private-notice; part; quit; away; topic; private-notice; };
  action block;
  reason "norton firewall exploit";
};
