Ban version block
The ban version block allows you to ban a client based on the IRC client software they use. This makes use of the clients CTCP version reply. Therefore if a client does not send out a CTCP version, the ban will not work. This feature is intended to allow you to block malicious scripts.
Syntax
ban version { mask <version-mask>; reason <reason-for-ban>; action [kill|tempshun|shun|kline|zline|gline|gzline]; };
The ban::mask specifies the version which should be banned. The mask may contain wildcards. The ban::reason specifies the reason why this ban is being placed. You can also specify ban::action, kill is the default, tempshun will shun the specific user connection only and would work very effective against zombies/bots at dynamic IPs because it won't affect innocent users. shun/kline/zline/gline/gzline will place a ban of that type on the ip (*@IPADDR), the duration of these bans can be configured with set::ban-version-tkl-time and defaults to 1 day.
Example
ban version { mask "*SomeLameScript*"; reason "SomeLameScript contains backdoors"; };
ban version { mask "*w00tZombie*"; reason "I hate those hundreds of zombies"; action zline; };
