| ZyklonB
 | |
| =======
 | |
| 
 | |
| `ZyklonB' is an experimental IRC bot, building upon the concept of my other
 | |
| VitaminA IRC bot.  The main characteristic of these two bots is that they run
 | |
| plugins as coprocesses, which allows for enhanced reliability and programming
 | |
| language freedom.
 | |
| 
 | |
| While originally intended to be a simple C99 rewrite of the original bot, which
 | |
| was written in the GNU dialect of AWK, it fairly quickly became a playground
 | |
| where I added everything that seemed nice.
 | |
| 
 | |
| kike
 | |
| ----
 | |
| Also included is a simple IRC daemon that mostly follows the RFC's but is
 | |
| limited to single-server networks, due to the protocol being incredibly ugly and
 | |
| tricky to implement correctly (the poor quality of the RFC's doesn't help).  It
 | |
| is designed for use as a regular user application rather than a system daemon.
 | |
| 
 | |
| It is complete enough to be useful but there are still some things that need to
 | |
| be resolved before I can consider it stable.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Some interesting features:
 | |
|  - SSL/TLS autodetection
 | |
|  - IRCop authentication through SSL/TLS client certificates
 | |
|  - epoll support on Linux
 | |
|  - superfast build time, small memory footprint
 | |
| 
 | |
| Building
 | |
| --------
 | |
| Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, help2man, awk, sh, openssl
 | |
| 
 | |
|  $ git clone https://github.com/pjanouch/ZyklonB.git
 | |
|  $ mkdir build
 | |
|  $ cd build
 | |
|  $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
 | |
|  $ make
 | |
| 
 | |
| To install the application, you can do either the usual:
 | |
|  $ make install
 | |
| 
 | |
| Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you.  For Debian it is:
 | |
|  $ cpack -G DEB
 | |
|  # dpkg -i sdtui-*.deb
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note that for versions of CMake before 2.8.9, you need to prefix cpack with
 | |
| `fakeroot' or file ownership will end up wrong.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Running
 | |
| -------
 | |
| First you might want to generate a configuration file:
 | |
|  $ zyklonb --write-default-config
 | |
|  $ kike --write-default-config
 | |
| 
 | |
| After making any necessary edits to the file (there are comments to aid you in
 | |
| doing that), simply run the appropriate program with no arguments:
 | |
|  $ zyklonb
 | |
|  $ kike
 | |
| 
 | |
| ZyklonB stays running in the foreground, so I recommend launching it inside
 | |
| a Screen or tmux session.  kike, on the other hand, immediately forks into the
 | |
| background.  Use something like `killall' if you want to terminate it.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Client Certificates
 | |
| -------------------
 | |
| `kike' uses SHA1 fingerprints of SSL client certificates to authenticate users.
 | |
| To get the fingerprint from a certificate file in the required form, use:
 | |
|  $ openssl x509 -in public.pem -outform DER | sha1sum
 | |
|

 | |
| ----------
 | |
| I am not an antisemitist, I'm just being an offensive asshole with the naming.
 | |
| And no, I'm not going to change the names.
