COTSE-IRC Reference

Connecting to a network with potentially thousands of users, does pose security risks, however, there are some things you can do to minimize this.
EASY:
	Connect to a server running Vworld (irc.cotse.com) Vworld will hide your machine's address from other users Don't use your real name/details Don't accept/send over DCC to non-trusted parties Patch your operating system to the latest service pack/kernel Never IRC as root Use a different password for services than you use for any other machine
COMPLEX:
		IRC through a proxy/BNC Run and maintain a firewall Telnet - secure shell - BitchX - IRC
