NAME POE::Component::Server::IRC - A fully event-driven networkable IRC server daemon module. SYNOPSIS # A fairly simple example: use strict; use warnings; use POE qw(Component::Server::IRC); my %config = ( servername => 'simple.poco.server.irc', nicklen => 15, network => 'SimpleNET' ); my $pocosi = POE::Component::Server::IRC->spawn( config => \%config ); POE::Session->create( package_states => [ 'main' => [qw(_start _default)], ], heap => { ircd => $pocosi }, ); $poe_kernel->run(); sub _start { my ($kernel, $heap) = @_[KERNEL, HEAP]; $heap->{ircd}->yield('register', 'all'); # Anyone connecting from the loopback gets spoofed hostname $heap->{ircd}->add_auth( mask => '*@localhost', spoof => 'm33p.com', no_tilde => 1, ); # We have to add an auth as we have specified one above. $heap->{ircd}->add_auth(mask => '*@*'); # Start a listener on the 'standard' IRC port. $heap->{ircd}->add_listener(port => 6667); # Add an operator who can connect from localhost $heap->{ircd}->add_operator( { username => 'moo', password => 'fishdont', } ); } sub _default { my ($event, $args) = @_[ARG0 .. $#_]; print "$event: "; for my $arg (@$args) { if (ref($arg) eq 'ARRAY') { print "[", join ( ", ", @$arg ), "] "; } elsif (ref($arg) eq 'HASH') { print "{", join ( ", ", %$arg ), "} "; } else { print "'$arg' "; } } print "\n"; } DESCRIPTION POE::Component::Server::IRC is a POE component which implements an IRC server (also referred to as an IRC daemon or IRCd). It should be compliant with the pertient IRC RFCs and is based on reverse engineering Hybrid IRCd behaviour with regards to interactions with IRC clients and other IRC servers. Yes, that's right. POE::Component::Server::IRC is capable of linking to foreign IRC networks. It supports the TS6 server to server protocol and has been tested with linking to Hybrid-8 based networks. It should in theory work with any TS6-based IRC network. POE::Component::Server::IRC also has a services API, which enables one to extend the IRCd to create IRC Services. This is fully event-driven (of course =]). There is also a Plugin system, similar to that sported by POE::Component::IRC. Note: This is a subclass of POE::Component::Server::IRC::Backend. You should read its documentation too. CONSTRUCTOR spawn Returns a new instance of the component. Takes the following parameters: * 'config', a hashref of configuration options, see the configure method for details. Any other parameters will be passed along to POE::Component::Server::IRC::Backend's create method. If the component is spawned from within another session then that session will automagically be registered with the component to receive events and be sent an ircd_registered event. METHODS Information server_name No arguments, returns the name of the ircd. server_version No arguments, returns the software version of the ircd. server_created No arguments, returns a string signifying when the ircd was created. server_config Takes one argument, the server configuration value to query. Configuration These methods provide mechanisms for configuring and controlling the IRCd component. configure Configures your new shiny IRCd. Takes a number of parameters: * 'servername', a name to bless your shiny new IRCd with, defaults to 'poco.server.irc'; * 'serverdesc', a description for your IRCd, defaults to 'Poco? POCO? POCO!'; * 'network', the name of the IRC network you will be creating, defaults to 'poconet'; * 'nicklen', the max length of nicknames to support, defaults to 9. Note: the nicklen must be the same on all servers on your IRC network; * 'maxtargets', max number of targets a user can send PRIVMSG/NOTICE's to, defaults to 4; * 'maxchannels', max number of channels users may join, defaults to 15; * 'version', change the server version that is reported; * 'admin', an arrayref consisting of the 3 lines that will be returned by ADMIN; * 'info', an arrayref consisting of lines to be returned by INFO; * 'ophacks', set to true to enable oper hacks. Default is false; * 'whoisactually', setting this to a false value means that only opers can see 338. Defaults to true; * 'sid', servers unique ID. This is three characters long and must be in the form [0-9][A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9]. Specifying this enables TS6. add_auth By default the IRCd allows any user to connect to the server without a password. Configuring auths enables you to control who can connect and set passwords required to connect. Takes the following parameters: * 'mask', a user@host or user@ipaddress mask to match against, mandatory; * 'password', if specified, any client matching the mask must provide this to connect; * 'spoof', if specified, any client matching the mask will have their hostname changed to this; * 'no_tilde', if specified, the '~' prefix is removed from their username; * 'exceed_limit', if specified, any client matching the mask will not have their connection limited, if the server is full; * 'kline_exempt', if true, any client matching the mask will be exempt from KLINEs and RKLINEs; * 'resv_exempt', if true, any client matching the mask will be exempt from RESVs; * 'can_flood', if true, any client matching the mask will be exempt from flood protection; * 'need_ident', if true, any client matching the mask will be required to have a valid response to Ident queries; Auth masks are processed in order of addition. If auth masks have been defined, then a connecting user *must* match one of the masks in order to be authorised to connect. This is a feature >;) del_auth Takes a single argument, the mask to remove. add_operator This adds an O line to the IRCd. Takes a number of parameters: * 'username', the username of the IRC oper, mandatory; * 'password', the password, mandatory; * 'ipmask', either a scalar ipmask or an arrayref of addresses or CIDRs as understood by Net::CIDR::cidrvalidate; * 'ssl_required', set to true to require that the oper is connected securely using SSL/TLS; * 'certfp', specify the fingerprint of the oper's client certificate to verify; A scalar ipmask can contain '*' to match any number of characters or '?' to match one character. If no 'ipmask' is provided, operators are only allowed to OPER from the loopback interface. 'password' can be either plain-text, crypt'd or unix/apache md5. See the mkpasswd function in POE::Component::Server::IRC::Common for how to generate passwords. 'ssl_required' and 'certfp' obviously both require that the server supports SSL/TLS connections. 'certfp' is the SHA256 digest fingerprint of the client certificate. This can be obtained from the PEM formated cert using one of the following methods: OpenSSL/LibreSSL: openssl x509 -sha256 -noout -fingerprint -in cert.pem | sed -e 's/^.*=//;s/://g' GnuTLS: certtool -i < cert.pem | egrep -A 1 'SHA256 fingerprint' del_operator Takes a single argument, the username to remove. add_peer Adds peer servers that we will allow to connect to us and who we will connect to. Takes the following parameters: * 'name', the name of the server. This is the IRC name, not hostname, mandatory; * 'pass', the password they must supply to us, mandatory; * 'rpass', the password we need to supply to them, mandatory; * 'type', the type of server, 'c' for a connecting server, 'r' for one that we will connect to; * 'raddress', the remote address to connect to, implies 'type' eq 'r'; * 'rport', the remote port to connect to, default is 6667; * 'ipmask', either a scalar ipmask or an arrayref of addresses or CIDRs as understood by Net::CIDR::cidrvalidate; * 'auto', if set to true value will automatically connect to remote server if type is 'r'; * 'zip', set to a true value to enable ziplink support. This must be done on both ends of the connection. Requires POE::Filter::Zlib::Stream; * 'service', set to a true value to enable the peer to be accepted as a services peer. * 'ssl', set to a true value to enable SSL/TLS support. This must be done on both ends of the connection. Requires POE::Component::SSLify. * 'certfp', specify the fingerprint of the peer's client certificate to verify; 'certfp' is the SHA256 digest fingerprint of the client certificate. This can be obtained from the PEM formated cert using one of the following methods: OpenSSL/LibreSSL: openssl x509 -sha256 -noout -fingerprint -in cert.pem | sed -e 's/^.*=//;s/://g' GnuTLS: certtool -i < cert.pem | egrep -A 1 'SHA256 fingerprint' del_peer Takes a single argument, the peer to remove. This does not disconnect the said peer if it is currently connected. add_service Adds a service peer. A service peer is a peer that is accepted to send service commands SVS*. Takes a single argument the service peer to add. This does not have to be a directly connected peer as defined with add_peer. del_service Takes a single argument, the service peer to remove. This does not disconnect the said service peer, but it will deny the peer access to service commands. add_pseudo Adds a pseudo command, also known as a service alias. The command is transformed by the server into a PRIVMSG and sent to the given target. Takes several arguments: * 'cmd', (mandatory) command/alias to be added. * 'name', (mandatory) the service name, eg. NickServ, this is used in error messages reported to users. * 'target', (mandatory) the target for the command in nick!user@host format. * 'prepend', (optional) text that will prepended to the user's message. del_pseudo Removes a previously defined pseudo command/alias. State queries The following methods allow you to query state information regarding nicknames, channels, and peers. state_nicks Takes no arguments, returns a list of all nicknames in the state. state_chans Takes no arguments, returns a list of all channels in the state. state_peers Takes no arguments, returns a list of all irc servers in the state. state_nick_exists Takes one argument, a nickname, returns true or false dependent on whether the given nickname exists or not. state_chan_exists Takes one argument, a channel name, returns true or false dependent on whether the given channel exists or not. state_peer_exists Takes one argument, a peer server name, returns true or false dependent on whether the given peer exists or not. state_user_full Takes one argument, a nickname, returns that users full nick!user@host if they exist, undef if they don't. If a second argument is provided and the nickname provided is an oper, then the returned value will be nick!user@host{opuser} state_user_nick Takes one argument, a nickname, returns the proper nickname for that user. Returns undef if the nick doesn't exist. state_user_umode Takes one argument, a nickname, returns that users mode setting. state_user_is_operator Takes one argument, a nickname, returns true or false dependent on whether the given nickname is an IRC operator or not. state_user_chans Takes one argument, a nickname, returns a list of channels that that nick is a member of. state_user_server Takes one argument, a nickname, returns the name of the peer server that that user is connected from. state_chan_list Takes one argument, a channel name, returns a list of the member nicks on that channel. state_chan_list_prefixed Takes one argument, a channel name, returns a list of the member nicks on that channel, nicknames will be prefixed with @%+ if they are +o +h or +v, respectively. state_chan_topic Takes one argument, a channel name, returns undef if no topic is set on that channel, or an arrayref consisting of the topic, who set it and the time they set it. state_chan_mode_set Takes two arguments, a channel name and a channel mode character.

INPUT EVENTS These are POE events that can be sent to the component. add_spoofed_nick Takes a single argument a hashref which should have the following keys: * 'nick', the nickname to add, mandatory; * 'user', the ident you want the nick to have, defaults to the same as the nick; * 'hostname', the hostname, defaults to the server name; * 'umode', specify whether this is to be an IRCop etc, defaults to 'i'; * 'ts', unixtime, default is time(), best not to meddle; Note: spoofed nicks are currently only really functional for use as IRC services. del_spoofed_nick Takes a single mandatory argument, the spoofed nickname to remove. Optionally, you may specify a quit message for the spoofed nick. Spoofed nick commands The following input events are for the benefit of spoofed nicks. All require a nickname of a spoofed nick as the first argument. daemon_cmd_join Takes two arguments, a spoofed nick and a channel name to join. daemon_cmd_part Takes two arguments, a spoofed nick and a channel name to part from. daemon_cmd_mode Takes at least three arguments, a spoofed nick, a channel and a channel mode to apply. Additional arguments are parameters for the channel modes. daemon_cmd_kick Takes at least three arguments, a spoofed nick, a channel name and the nickname of a user to kick from that channel. You may supply a fourth argument which will be the kick comment. daemon_cmd_topic Takes three arguments, a spoofed nick, a channel name and the topic to set on that channel. If the third argument is an empty string then the channel topic will be unset. daemon_cmd_nick Takes two arguments, a spoofed nick and a new nickname to change to. daemon_cmd_kline Takes a number of arguments depending on where the KLINE is to be applied and for how long: To set a permanent KLINE: $ircd->yield( 'daemon_cmd_kline', $spoofed_nick, $nick || $user_host_mask, $reason, ); To set a temporary 10 minute KLINE: $ircd->yield( 'daemon_cmd_kline', $spoofed_nick, 10, $nick || $user_host_mask, $reason, ); To set a temporary 10 minute KLINE on all servers: $ircd->yield( 'daemon_cmd_kline', $spoofed_nick, 10, $nick || $user_host_mask, 'on', '*', $reason, ); daemon_cmd_unkline Removes a KLINE as indicated by the user@host mask supplied. To remove a KLINE: $ircd->yield( 'daemon_cmd_unkline', $spoofed_nick, $user_host_mask, ); To remove a KLINE from all servers: $ircd->yield( 'daemon_cmd_unkline', $spoofed_nick, $user_host_mask, 'on', '*', ); daemon_cmd_rkline Used to set a regex based KLINE. The regex given must be based on a user@host mask. To set a permanent RKLINE: $ircd->yield( 'daemon_cmd_rkline', $spoofed_nick, '^.*$@^(yahoo|google|microsoft)\.com$', $reason, ); To set a temporary 10 minute RKLINE: $ircd->yield( 'daemon_cmd_rkline', $spoofed_nick, 10, '^.*$@^(yahoo|google|microsoft)\.com$', $reason, ); daemon_cmd_unrkline Removes an RKLINE as indicated by the user@host mask supplied. To remove a RKLINE: $ircd->yield( 'daemon_cmd_unrkline', $spoofed_nick, $user_host_mask, ); daemon_cmd_sjoin Takes two arguments a spoofed nickname and an existing channel name. This command will then manipulate the channel timestamp to clear all modes on that channel, including existing channel operators, reset the channel mode to '+nt', the spoofed nick will then join the channel and gain channel ops. daemon_cmd_privmsg Takes three arguments, a spoofed nickname, a target (which can be a nickname or a channel name) and whatever text you wish to send. daemon_cmd_notice Takes three arguments, a spoofed nickname, a target (which can be a nickname or a channel name) and whatever text you wish to send. daemon_cmd_locops Takes two arguments, a spoofed nickname and the text message to send to local operators. daemon_cmd_wallops Takes two arguments, a spoofed nickname and the text message to send to all operators. daemon_cmd_globops Takes two arguments, a spoofed nickname and the text message to send to all operators.
