- Usage: SET EXEC_PROTECTION [ON|OFF|TOGGLE]
- If you saw a warning message telling you to read this, beware!
- If anyone on irc told you that typing "ON ^MSG * $1-" or
- "ON ^MSG <nick> $1-" would speed speed things up or otherwise
- make life better for you, they are lying. The above commands
- allow people to send you MSGs and have them executed as commands
- by your IRCII. This can be a major security problem, since the
- person who told you to do this can then execute any command you
- could, including EXEC commands. This would give them control over
- your account while you are on irc.
-
- Anyway, if you did see this warning, it could be that someone is
- trying to abuse your account. But, don't worry, the EXEC command
- that it warned you about was not executed. If you are unsure about
- what is going on, please contact your local irc operator for help.
-
- If you know what you're doing, you can set EXEC_PROTECTION to OFF
- and EXEC will be allowed within ON commands. Only do this if
- you are sure you understand what is going on.
