| dazjorz | well it can stop them soon enough |
| czth_ | even being identified isn't a guarantee if someone lets their nick lapse make them send your bot a password, challenge-response style |
| seekwill | What function do I use to check if a dir exists? |
| czth_ | seekwill: why do you need to know if a dir exists? |
| dazjorz | but then I can't send the command to all the modules after identification czth_: I know, but then it's their stupid proble m |
| czth_ | not if your bot is pwned |
| seekwill | czth_: I want to delete it if it does |
| dazjorz | czth_: I already have that now, but I want my bot to listen to nickserv |
| czth_ | seekwill: just delete it. if it doesn't exist, then you'll get an error. |
| dazjorz | czth_: I hate typing my password all the time. czth_: pwned in what way? |
| czth_ | dazjorz: automate it. |
| seekwill | czth_: Well, hoping not to get errors... |
| czth_ | dazjorz: well, if it handles ops or deopping.. |
| dazjorz | Are you kidding? The bot goes offline now and then /nick dazeus |
| czth_ | seekwill: if you check for existence and then delete, that's a race condition |
| dazjorz | done they have my password -_- |
| seekwill | czth_: Sorry, I'm not familar with "race condition" |
| dazjorz | czth_: I won't automate the sending of my password, only to nickserv... |
| czth_ | dazjorz: automate the response on your end |
| dazjorz | except for nickserv*** |
| czth_ | not on the bot |
| dazjorz | czth_: -_- doh czth_: I can't automate the sending on my bot anyway. -_- ANyhow I'm going the wrong way I think I'm gonna edit Pluggable but for that I need to edit Bot::BasicBot imho, because I couldn't find any whois things in it |
| Ani-_ | Sure you can automate the sending to your bot. |
| dazjorz | but not from my bot it has no support for whois yet and also no support for ctcp |
| czth_ | dazjorz: what i did once for a bot was a challenge-response based on the time of day and a random seed, e.g. md5sum of unix time concat'd with a random #, and then the user has to respond with the md5sum of that + his password. or something similar. but that's getting a bit paranoid for everyday use perhaps. |
| dazjorz | czth_: Yeah. And it can be done a lot simpler here on Freenode |
