Vandel neo-modus hublist bot (closed/finished)

[Sedulus]

a question for all you DCH++ users.
did you leave the following section in the dchpp.xml config?

Code: Select all

        <RegistrationServers>
                <Server>vandel405.dynip.com:2501</Server>
                <Server>dreamland.gotdns.org:2501</Server>
                <Server>dc-dreamland.dhs.org:2501</Server>
        </RegistrationServers>

I mean the vandel405 part.

I have now taken a sample neo modus hublist every half hour since 0400 this morning. at that time I added a script to allow the vandel bot to get a nicklist without having to log in properly (i.e. sending a $MyINFO).

the hub list seems to update every hour (a little bit less) or so.

the piece of lua that allows the bot to get it's info is:

Code: Select all

function dchpp.clientLine( client, data )
        -- a'ight.. we found vandel's bot (12.233.58.90)
        if client:getIp() == "12.233.58.90" then
                --dchpp.hubMessage( data, "VandelBot" )
                if data == "$GetNickList|" then
                        local nicklist, oplist, tmplist
                        local function enumnicks( client )
                                tmplist = tmplist..client:getNick().."$$"
                        end
                        tmplist = "" ; dchpp.foreach( enumnicks,  0 ) ; nicklist = tmplist
                        tmplist = "" ; dchpp.foreach( enumnicks, -1 ) ; oplist = tmplist
                        client:send( "$NickList "..nicklist.."|$OpList "..oplist.."|" )
                end
        end
end

(note that this only works on DCH++0.16 (and later versions))

three questions which can be summed up to one answer, which I would like from all of you:
1) did you leave the vandel405 part in de dchpp.xml?
2) did you activate registration (<RegisterWithServers type="int">1</RegisterWithServers>) and supply a correct hostname or ip in the settings (<ServerIp type="string">your_hostname_or_ip_goes_here_WITHOUT_:port</ServerIp>)?
3) did you block the vandel405 ip either by not including it in the ipallow list, or adding it to the ipban list?

all 3 questions yes: write yes, otherwise no

[edit: hmz.. I should've reversed the question in (3), luckily BSOD answered correctly]
[edit: changed the title.. replies are not needed anymore]

no
My hub's not on the public list so I didn't have a need to do that.

[KeithK]

No, I don't register as a pub either.

When I tested DCH last weekend, I did not see our hub in the vandel list...

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No

[Sedulus]

alrighty,
thank you for replying

I've now done four rounds of nm hublist collecting:
1) with the script that feeds the vandel bot the NickList and OpList
2) without the script
3) with the script and fake NickLists (all users 4x) (although this was not tested extensively)
4) with the script

about (2): you're not getting in the list, I'm certain
about (1) and (4): I got in the list, so you will too (although it's random, so you might have to wait a couple of hours)
about (3): not tested extensively enough, but I didn't get on the list. (so either I would have needed the hub to register with fake info too, or let the duplicated usernames be different, or possibly waited a bit more, but I didn't want to get on any vandel ban list ;) )

that should about cover it arne =)
