OperServ:CLONES
CLONES keeps track of the number of clients per IP address. Warnings are displayed in the snoop channel about IP addresses with multiple clients.
CLONES only works on clients whose IP address Xtheme knows. If the ircd does not support propagating IP addresses at all, CLONES is not useful; if IP addresses are not sent for spoofed clients, those clients are exempt from CLONES checking.
Syntax: CLONES KLINE ON|OFF
Enables/disables banning IP addresses with more than the allowed number clients from the network for one hour (these bans are not added to the AKILL list). This setting is saved in etc/services.db and defaults to off.
Syntax: CLONES LIST
Shows all IP addresses with more than 3 clients with the number of clients and whether the IP address is exempt.
Syntax: CLONES ADDEXEMPT <ip> <clones> [!P|!T <minutes>] <reason>
Adds an IP address to the clone exemption list. The IP address must match exactly with the form used by the ircd (mind '::' shortening with IPv6). The IP address can also be a CIDR mask, for example 192.168.1.0/24. Single IPs take priority above CIDR. is the number of clones allowed; it must be at least 4. Warnings are sent if this number is met, and a network ban may be set if the number is exceeded. The reason is shown in LISTEXEMPT. The clone exemption list is stored in etc/services.db.
Syntax: CLONES DELEXEMPT <ip>
Removes an IP address from the clone exemption list.
Syntax: CLONES SETEXEMPT [DEFAULT | <ip>] <ALLOWED | WARN | KILL> <limit>
Sets either the default or a given exemption's ALLOWED, WARN, or KILL limit to the specified number of clones. WARN or KILL can be 0, disabling any warning messages or kills.
Syntax: CLONES SETEXEMPT <ip> <REASON | DURATION> <value>
Sets the reason or duration of a given exemption to the specified value. The DURATION value can be 0, making the exemption permanent.
Syntax: CLONES LISTEXEMPT
Shows the clone exemption list with reasons.
Example:
/msg OperServ CLONES ADDEXEMPT 127.0.0.1 100 local
/msg OperServ CLONES DELEXEMPT 192.168.1.2``
Syntax: CLONES DURATION
Allows modifying the duration that hosts who clone are banned for. Defaults to one hour. Is saved between restarts.
Example:
/msg OperServ CLONES DURATION 30m
