Tip of the day: Did you know that users are put in the security-group known-users based on their reputation score or if they are identified to Services?

Users in this group receive a number of benefits, such as being able to send more messages per minute.

Connthrottle

By default, the Connthrottle module is enabled in UnrealIRCd. When a server is under attack this will allow known users without restrictions but will limit the amount of unknown users to a certain rate, such as 30 connections per minute. This does not prevent a drone attack completely but it limits the damage a lot, giving you and your fellow IRCOps time to act.
