Subject: ALIENS ARE INVADING IRCls! ******************************************************************** There are ALIENS using the internet to spy on humans!!! ******************************************************************** THIS INFORMATION MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE! THE INTERNET OFFERS TOTAL ANONYMITY AND PROVIDES THE PERFECT PLACE FOR ALIENS TO OBSERVE AND INTERACT WITH HUMAN BEINGS WITHOUT BEING NOTICED! MOST OF THIS ALIEN SPYING TAKES PLACE ON THE INTERNET RELAY CHAT NETWORK. ALIENS HAVE INFILTRATED THE NETWORK TO THE POINT THAT MOST OF THEM HAVE OPS ON MAJOR CHANNELS AND SOME EVEN HAVE IRC OPERATOR STATUS!!! THEY POSESS WAR SCRIPTS AND BOTS MORE POWERFUL THAN EVEN PHOENIX OR EGGDROP! THE TIMESTAMP PATCH HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY THEM TO HARM OUR OWN ABILITY TO DEFEND OURSELVES WHILE THE ALIENS SILENTLY GAIN CONTROL OF THE IRC NETWORK THROUGH THEIR SUPERIOR IRC SCRIPT AND BOT TECHNOLOGY! The following IRC log was made on IRC channel #netsex on December 26th 1995: *** IRC log started 12/26/95 14:05:44 Yes! YES! YOUR BOTZ ARE SO P0W3RFUL!#$! Could someone dcc me a copy of phoenix or talkflood.c?? Will trade XXX sitez! *BoyT0Y* Hi. Do you have any pictures of human genital organs? -> *BoyT0Y* Got anything to trade??? *** BillGates (bgates@microsoft.com) has joined channel #netsex *** Vassago (vassago@unix.mclv.net) has joined channel #netsex Anyone got any hairy male nudes??????? *BoyT0Y* I have many fast sites from #warez and #warez2 - How could he gain access to #warez without superior war script technology??? He obviously isn't eleet yet he claims to have a sitez list from #warez????? -> *BoyT0Y* Anything else? Anyone got a site with OS/2? *** BoyT0Y is root@netcom17.netcom.com *** on irc via server irc.netcom.com (NETCOM Online Communications) *** BoyT0Y has been idle 1 seconds *BoyT0Y* Yes I have Win96 on a very fast site! - Root on NetCom!?!$ They must have superior passwd crackers or the ability to fake identd! *** CTCP VERSION reply from BoyT0Y: Running Phoenix v3.14 by Vassago - Everyone knows the latest Phoenix is 2.27a! Vassago himself must be working for or under the control of the aliens and supplying them with newer versions of Phoenix!!!! It is a conspiracy to withhold IRC script technology from humans! *** IRC log ended AS YOU CAN SEE THERE IS GREAT DANGER! THEY HAVE THE NEWEST VERSIONS OF PHOENIX, NEWER THAN ANYTHING POSESSED BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC!!! THEY ARE LEADING A CONSPIRACY TO GAIN CONTROL OF IRC FOR STILL UNKNOWN PURPOSES!!!!!! "I am a long time alien abductee. When undergoing hypnotic regression from my last abduction experience in October 1995, I remembered the usual experience of being paralyzed in my sleep and taken on board an alien craft where strange experiments involving my reproductive organs were performed. Several fluid samples from various parts of my body were removed. However, on this experience I remember seeing a computer on board the spacecraft. I could barely make out the screen and it appeared to be an IRC session... but the script was like nothing I had ever seen! Two aliens were sitting in front of the computer (they appeared to be of the Zeta-Reticuli "grey" variety) and appeared to be spawning clonebots in preparation for a channel takeover..." - Anonymous, December 2nd 1995 "I was on IRC on.. well.. I think it was some time in early September 1995... the whole experience is quite frightening and I don't like to talk about it. I was on IRC on #warez5 getting the latest sitez list and it was two A.M. and then all the sudden all these clonebots split into the channel and then it was like four A.M. all the sudden and I remembered nothing. During hypnotic regression I recalled only vague details about being invited to an invite-only channel and asked about the clonebot capabilities of my war script..." - Anonymous, December 15th 1995 "This jerk split into our channel.. you see.. and he starts asking for 'human medical data!' What the !?#$!?? Anyway, I kick him with something like 'try alt.sex.fetish.*' and I got flashed... this was no ordinary flash! It logged me completely out of the server and I had no dialtone on my phone line for hours!!! My admin said he had no log of a talk connect either!" - Channel operator on #oldwarez, December 21st 1995 "I was hanging out on #sex one day and there was this wierd bot.. It acted like an eggdrop but it wouldn't give anyone access when they used the 'hello' command. It also had wierd version responses and ping responses with negative numbers and stuff. Anyway, I didn't think much of it until the bot somehow got ops and then immediatly massdeopped! I used my war script on it to no avail and I finally asked in #twilight_zone. No IRCops came but all the sudden all these people from some army.mil site started joining the channel and asked us all to leave quietly. When I asked them what was going on they invited me to a +is channel and told me if I told anyone about the bot they would force my ISP to drop my account. When they finally gave the channel back the bot was gone! I tried /whowas but there was no record of it!" - Anonymous, November 17th 1995 Most of the serious activity appears recent, but on a closer look it would appear that the conspiracy has been working for years. * Bots have been banned on most U.S. servers, with servers in other countries following closely. This is an attempt to neutralize our ability to defend our channels! * The TimeStamp patch is an attempt to neutralize our ability to defend our channels while doing nothing to stop superior war script technology!!! * Lag is obviously a conspiracy to slow our ability to communicate with each other, while the aliens use their superior bot chat networks to communicate lag-free! AS YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A MAJOR CONSPIRACY AT WORK!!! THE GOVERNMENT AND IRC OPERATORS APPEAR INTENT UPON COVERING UP THE EVIDENCE! THE ONLY HOPE IN STOPPING THIS TAKEOVER IS TO DEVELOP ADVANCED SCRIPT AND BOT TECHNOLOGY OF OUR OWN, AND TO TRY TO FIND AND BAN THE ALIENS! WE MUST HAVE ALLIES WITHIN THE IRC OP COMMUNITY TO K-LINE THE INVADERS!!!
