OksanaaDocScrutinizer05 : What's up with Sigyn? Why didn't it work?08:52
sixwheeledbeastThis is why lots of channels are requiring auth to speak.08:57
* Oksanaa thinks that if X sends a message with a spam link, X should be banned immediately. Question is, defining what "spam link" is08:58
OksanaaSpam link is likely to: 1) point to domain, not a specific page; 2) have domain with absurd whois (registrant Name and Organisation are nearly identical, like "Data Protected Data Protected" and "Data Protected");09:02
Oksanaa3) be sent by a suspicious user (not authorised with NickServ; wasn't seen on channel before; sends suspicious message)09:05
OksanaaSuspicious message is a long message without commas or dots, containing word "you" and/or exclamation point and/or quotation mark (like "'")09:06
phlixiyou notice, that those bots leave once they sent their stuff, its too late to ban them then :)09:06
phlixi(since banning them after spamming is what a lot of scripts do already)09:07
Oksanaaphlixi : They send two or three messages in a row. Or more. Banning them after one message may decrease spam.09:07
phlixithose are already sent before your script gets the first message09:08
phlixithey already leave before you can ban them09:08
OksanaaThat's... Annoying.09:08
phlixithats irc :D09:08
OksanaaSince Sigyn is Freenode's bot, cannot Freenode staff connect Sigyn with their Freenode server, so that server would catch and filter out spam before it reaches the channel?09:09
phlixihave to be very careful with that...09:09
OksanaaFor those channels that invited Sigyn, of course09:09
phlixicould do something like urls not allowed until one day after registration and first mesage to channel... but even then, bots would probably just implement that. on other networks they already register (some channel use +n)09:10
Maxdamantus19:06:39 < Oksanaa> Suspicious message is a long message without commas or dots, containing word "you" and/or exclamation point and/or quotation mark (like "'")09:11
MaxdamantusSo like these ones? https://gist.github.com/Maxdamantus/ba4fc21689f1f271e3a1b2522e76b56209:11
OksanaaMaxdamantus : let me see, I was just comparing with backscroll09:12
MaxdamantusDidn't include a length criterion, but can visually filter that.09:12
Maxdamantuscat ~/irclogs/Freenode/#maemo.log | sed '/^..:.. <.[^>]*> /!d; /^..:.. <.[^>]*> [^\.,]*$/!d; /> .*you/I!d; /!/!d'09:12
OksanaaShould also be mentioned that suspicious message contains a [spam] link, but then definition gets recursive09:12
MaxdamantusLuckily that search didn't match on any of my messages.09:13
OksanaaAnd clarify that suspicious single quotes are outside word (like 'test' ) and not inside word (like don't )09:13
MaxdamantusDidn't include a filter based on quotes.09:14
OksanaaIn short, [spam] link is the most important factor09:14
MaxdamantusHow do you determine that it's a spam link?09:15
OksanaaBut "absurd whois" will probably not work anymore when spambots start advertising somebody's business in earnest09:15
Oksanaa Spam link is likely to: 1) point to domain, not a specific page; and 2) be inside a suspicious message, which: a) is long; b) likely contains "you" and/or exclamation point; c) is sent by a suspicious user09:16
sparreSupposedly setting the channel mode +r blocks the current wave of spam.10:18
siceloi need some help with opera (not mini)18:16
sicelomy work network has filtering, and for some reason, i cannot open some sites with opera mobile that i can open with microb.18:17
siceloi ran tcpdump -i wlan0- port 53 to check if it might be trying to access something else, and found that opera tries to contac sitecheck.opera-mini.net. i would like some help to figure out what setting controls that18:18
siceloi want/need to diable it. i have Turbo mode turned off18:19
sicelos/diable/disable/18:19
siceloi can open the sites with opera on other networks btw18:21
