Pbot is a little guy who sits on your channel and provides it with state of the art irc channel & server protection from spammers, flooders, botnets, drones and much more. Pbot can also be set to gline proxies or blacklisted ip addresses keeping your network safe and secure from remote attacks. It has been used to clean up many networks and private channels from spammers and IRC riff-raff, that most users meet on a daily basis on IRC.
Pbot will surround your channels and entire IRC network with a digital wall of protection, ensuring safety and security with minimal amount of fuss.
It has one unobtrusive window and has a full configurable GUI
Having same problem bluewhisper im on justin.tv when i load it then go on line it brings up another box saying disconnected you must use your password but the rest of my mirc is connected to my channel if anyone has found away around this let me know i have emailed them through the pbot but no answer yet??!!
Ya know sometimes it doesn't help to get out of bed. I just read your post, I responded that I did download v3.92 and was asking about deleting and downloading it again. Go figure. LOL
Okay for all that. Still my question about the vs of mirc stands. I'm not sure they are compatible. Again, thanks for helping a noob........it is appreciated.
Question, in the Network box, I typed the server name, do I have to include the whole path name... i.e., I typed
chat.collarme.com then in channels I typed my channel name and I did give the bot a nick
In mirc on the command line do I need to add something so mirc recognizes the bot? If so would this work:
/access #channel name add host bot's nick
@Bluewhisper
I see nothing wrong. I am actually unfamiliar with this snippet, but I did download it a few minutes ago and played around with it. I added a server and double-clicked it and it connected fine. It's currently been connected for 5 minutes now.
Did you do the update to Version 3.92 upon loading the .mrc file?
Edit: to anyone who has a fix to being able to identify registered nicknames using this, let me know. Lol. There's no option for it :( I tried @Cheiron's suggestion and it didn't work >.<
I just downloaded Pbot and installed it in mIRC, I can bring it up and have entered the correct info as as needed,
I have a problem when I double click on the server name in Pbot to connect. I connect for about 5 - 20 seconds or so and then Pbot is disconnected from the server.
Can anyone throw some light on this and help me out.
Unfortunately the scripter did not set this up to use a password to log into servers that require a password. So my question is simply why didn't the scripter simply use the already present mIRC connection system? At least then ... all the possible parameters .. ie .. group .. password .. etc would have been available.
Because of the above .. this bot is completely useless to me since I can't even log into the server where I wanted to try this out.
One last note ... the author said ... "I am not into mIRC really anymore" ... so I am not hopeful for this to be rectified.
I would like the same as Cullumlord. I can even get it to ignore my trivia bot so the actual Pbot window of my mirc is pretty useless just filled up with trivia like it is.
Also it's faced one bot-net attack so far and this is the main reason I finally gave in and tried a bot in my room. It failed miserably. It banned the first two join/part-ers then got flood kicked by the server and the attack went on unmolested. It didn't even get to setting the room to +RM which would have been much more useful.
Not only that the mirc closed but stayed connected! I though it was just disconnected so I opened a new mirc and found that my bot and usual nick were still connected and in the room. I ghosted them but the bot wouldn't reconnect (of course since it was still connected just hidden) and about 3 or 4 hours later the mirc window suddenly popped up again with all the rooms and PM's still open in it. This had nothing to do with the bot-net attack though, that had happened over 6 hours before.
So not much luck so far! I've removed spam/flood protection and just left up the 'set mode to +RM' on hoping that at least will stop the attacks when they happen. If not I'll have to find another bot.
i've done alot of feedback work with Weaver on this bot on my network helping him out where he hasnt had oper access with different settings to help him identify where it is bugged and i have been most impressed with it so far. he isolated the issue i had with the harvester etc from RBL listings.
main thing needing to sort out is the sensitivity of the bot to scoring really and the fact that the bot is only a Local server capable. its not for servers where there is more than one server linked (global) not sure if as a socket bot this can be addressed but that seems to be its biggest fail atm. only other addition for the oper side is a proxy checker and akill section for those found. this is my latest review.
right all installed and set up.. set threat level to 3 and everyone that connected got instantly glined .....
do i need to close the socket bot , change to 5 and then reconnect it to make the change or not.. i tried live change 3 to 5 but it still did it ?.
i have had to remove the gline on threat for now until this can be resolved
RBL was showing as clean for the users .. but they were ALL scoring massively on the Suspicious,Harvester sections hence the glines instantly
Not sure what you mean, about "works off what you put in" the scanner checks IP's against multiple sites and databases.
If you have any further problems, use the contact pbot help centre within the script and someone should get back to you.
It also might be a good idea to have a look at the read me, and a thorough read of the help files.
i iwll have a play. one thing i am a bit miffed at though is the "connections" scanner.. as it only works off what you put in. seems a bit odd when glines akills etc are added to the server itself to have this function. if it was a bopm unit that checked ip's on join against a site, that would be perfect.
You can use any nick you want to. See http://www.mirc.net/projects.php?go=1218035463 for the project homepage and more pictures.
This is a socket addon to mIRC which opens one unobtrusive window. It is still considered an addon even though its a socket bot.
Rewriting it not as a socket bot, will make Pbot much less efficient and slower.
I have just deleted the old file and replaced it with a newer version. Updates should now take place automatically from within the script.
Latest update can be found here. http://www.hawkee.com/scripts/14230251/
Not sure how to edit/delete this one, does not look like I can....
All further updates take place automatically within the script so no need to manually update anymore.
i agree with JoRdY in that it is a nice bot and its not too bad in use either i have found.... but i do have a few gripes though.
(1) it is only global and not per channel.
(2) it is a socket bot and not an addon for mirc which i feel would be more benificial.
if the creator is about maybe they could get hold of me or comment on doing a .mrc addon version of this also please :)
