≤GB≥Internet Relay Chat (IRC)≤P≥
This probe tests whether InterMapper can register a connection with an IRC server. This probe establishes a connection to the IRC server and issues the “PASS”, “NICK”, and “USER” commands. It verifies that the IRC server returns a particular string, in its welcome message, for example.
≤i≥Password≤p≥ is the connection password. This parameter is passed using the “PASS” command.
≤i≥Nickname≤p≥ gives the connection a nickname. This parameter is passed using the “NICK” command.
≤i≥Username≤p≥ specifies the username, hostname, servername and realname of the new user. Typically, the hostname and servername are ignored for client connections. The realname must be prefixed with a ':'.
≤i≥String to verify≤p≥ is a string to verify in the data returned by the IRC server. For example, you might check for a string returned in the IRC server's welcome message.
