Hey there, it's tough to ask for help when you're not sure where to start. I'm trying to connect to the AnonOps IRC, but they're asking for SSL setup. I've installed both SSL and mIRC, but I'm stuck on how to configure it properly. Anyone have a better idea?
You need to switch ports that the server supports or adjust network settings, enable SSL, and check the box for allowing it. This should allow the connection now. Using mIRC isn't necessary; HexChat is preferable. Also, consider masking your IP or using IRC through TOR to protect your identity, as activists often try to track users. They emphasize these steps because IRC has significant security weaknesses over the years.
I'm not sure...actually I was really excited about joining them. When I saw this... I hate to say it, but it seems like a tough "requirement" to me. And I went: :blink: DAMN YOU ANONYMOUS! THAT'S TOO LONG! :angry: (I'm in IT university first year) So I've been trying to set up SSL and mIRC together just to understand what they're about. They had a warning called "Be ready for lots of trolling being thrown at you..." which I was okay with, actually—I mean, sure—but why encrypt the password? Is it because of hackers?
5 years is actually a short amount of time TBH, there is no such thing as a kid genius hacker. The ones you mostly see who're genius kid hackers are nothing more than the people at the bottom of the foodchain. Last year there was a kid who was identified as a member of LizardSquad but he was probably just another kid on the bottom whom the guys at the top deemed disposable to let the heat cool down.
