Surreal Service Bots

NickServ

• Nickname management service.
• Users can use to protect themselves against nick stealing.
• NickServ also has an optional password retrieval feature.
• Each user has its own nickname group, that allows the user to register as many nicks as needed while still being able to take profit of his privileges and to modify the nick configuration.

ChanServ

• Channel management service.
• Helps users to administer their channels in a totally customizable way.
• ChanServ has an internal list of privileged users and banned users that controls accesses on a per-channel basis.
• It eliminates all takeover problems, because of its powerful op/unban/invite and even mass deop and mass kick functions.

MemoServ

• MemoServ is a helpful companion that allows the sending of short messages to offline users
• Users can send Memo's to groups of other users.
• Users can delete list and read their memos, all memos are saved untill delted.

BotServ

• Allows users to get a permanent, friendly bot on their channels in an easy way.
• This service can be disabled if you want to save some bandwidth.
• Each bot can be configured to monitor the channels against floods, repetitions, caps writing, and swearing, and to take appropriate actions.
• It also can handle user-friendly commands (like !op, !deop, !voice, !devoice, !kick, and many others), say a short greet message when an user joins a channel, and even "take over" ChanServ actions such as auto-opping users, saying the entry notice, and so on.

OperServ

• The IRCops' and IRC admins' black box, that allows them to manage the list of network bans (also known as AKILL (DALnet) or GLINE (Undernet)),
• Also allows opers to configure messages displayed to users when they log on, to set modes and to kick users from any channel, to send notices quickly to the entire network, and much more!

HostServ

• A neat service that allows users to show custom vHosts (virtual hosts) instead of their real IP address;
• this only works on daemons supporting ip cloaking, such as UnrealIRCd, UltimateIRCd and ViagraIRCd.

ConnectServ

• ConnectServ is designed to echo activity on your network to the services log channel.
• ConnectServ will echo things like: users signing on/off the network, killing of users, nick changes, users going /away and returning
• ConnectServ can even be customised so colour messages can be used to distinguish the different events.

LogServ

• LogServ logs the events of a network, connections, disconnections, oper commands etc

Security Bot

• SecurityBot is a composition of SecureServ and Defender.
• SecurityBot is an IRC trojan detector, it is much like a virus scanner, but aimed at IRC networks.
• Using several methods, including version checks, behavior analysis, and general pattern matching, it aims to detect trojans, viruses, and floodbots which connect to your IRC network.
