Subject: Bug in DalNet NickServ


Here is the source to nickserv.irc

A bug that exploits the resync code in the DalNet's nickname service.

	Basically it floods with random nicks and registers each nick with
dalnet, after filling nickserv's buffers with the nicks, nickserv trys to
send that information to all the servers, and segmentation faults causing
it to crash.

Credits to OseK and Commando for finding this bug.

#### DALNET NickServ Exploit
#### Author: OseK (Based on Idea by Commando)
#### Release Date: June 13 1997
####
#### NickServ's automatic registration program may be its fatal flaw...
####
#### By Constantly flooding it with nicks that register each nick,
#### nickserv cannot keep up, and when it's time for it to resync all the
#### servers, nickserv gives up and goes offline.
####
#### This IRC Script exploits that bug by Doing the above.
####
#### I wrote this Script to educate the DalNet Committee of the serious
#### Bug in their NickName service.  I am not responsible for this.
