IRC over Telnet
« on: July 16, 2011, 12:44:13 am »
I was wondering how many people have experienced the pain sheer joy of IRC over Telnet. The premise of Telnet is that you can connect at a fairly low level to computers on other systems through its use, which means you can view IRC through the command prompt.

To do it on windows and access #omnimaga from the command line (once Telnet is installed):

Code: [Select]
telnet irc.prison.net 6667
NICK RickAstley
USER RickAstley 8 * : Rick
JOIN #omnimaga

This will set you up as a user named RickAstley in #omnimaga whose real name is Rick. Of course, what good is just joining? Talking is even more fun and uses the badly named PRIVMSG function:

The code
Code: [Select]
PRIVMSG #omnimaga "message"
will send "message" to everyone in the chan. To send a private message, just use their username instead.

If you remain inactive for too long, though, you'll receive "PING :irc.prison.net", to which the appropriate response is "PONG :irc.prison.net". If you don't respond, you'll be automatically disconnected.

Also, be careful if you try it. My IP is now banned from EFnet  ;D

It should be. Telnet basically allows you to implement the raw underlying IRC protocol.

Why were you banned?

it should have just kicked you off, not the bot the server, for ping timeout, if you fail to pong.

Could a mod unban u?

I'm still kinda curious how you got banned, though.

I'm not sure why I was banned, but I can't reconnect now :(
Every time I try (even under different usernames), it just returns my IP followed by "( ***** BANNED )"

IRC over Telnet is fun. Especially when you're in more than 1 channel.

Yeah, it's just hard to keep track of your typing when the page scrolls every ten three seconds.

Hum... My connection is SO BAD that I get disconnected right away from a timeout. I do have one bar and the network is god knows how far away. I wonder if someone can write a batch script or something to add the "PRIVMSG #omnimaga" autmatically. I dont know exactly how telnet works tho.

It's fun but difficult.  I hate when I get a ping message, and am like "oh, gosh, what do I do???"

To my knowledge sending a message takes the form "PRIVMSG #channel :message", where #channel is the channel and message is the message. You need that colon there unless your message has no spaces. Same for the "real name" field of the USER command (the last one). (You also don't put a space after the colon.)
graphmastur: when you receive a message of the form "PING stuff", the proper reply is "PONG stuff", replying with the same stuff. Some servers send them in the form ":server PING stuff", in which case you just ignore what's before the command.
For everyone who wants to see the official documentation, here's a link to RFC 2812.

The code
Code: [Select]
PRIVMSG #omnimaga "message"
will send "message" to everyone in the chan. To send a private message, just use their username instead.

The protocol is actually to use :message instead. Multi-word strings are preceded by a colon, not a quotation mark.

You can't do telnet with a batch script by design. The way microsoft wrote telnet.exe, all execution pauses when the commandline goes into telnet and requires manual input from that point forward. You'd probably have to use a compiled language to telnet.

@DrDnar: The ban went away after a few hours.

You could try a sendkey vbs in windows too. (Visual Basic Scipt) the only thing is, it cant get the output from the command line, so it couldn't respond to Pings. Otherwise, it could log u on and join a channel.
