A robust information gathering tool for large scale reconnaissance on [Internet Relay Chat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat) servers, made for future usage with [internetrelaychat.org](https://internetrelaychat.org) for public statistics on the protocol.

The idea is to create a *proof-of-concept* documenting how large-scale information gathering on the IRC protocol can be malicious & invasive to privacy.
## Order of Operations
-First, an attempt to connect using SSL/TLS on port 6697 is made, which if it fails, will fall back to a standard connection on port 6667.
+First, an attempt to connect using SSL/TLS on port 6697 is made, which if it fails, will fall back to a standard connection on port 6667. The output of **005** *(RPL_ISUPPORT)* is checked for an `SSL=` option to try & locate the servers secure ports.
-Once connected, server information is gathered from `ADMIN`, `CAP LS`, `MODULES -all`, `VERSION`, `IRCOPS`, `MAP`, `INFO`, `LINKS`, `STATS p`, & `LIST` replies.

+Once we have finishing scanning a server, the information found for that server is then saved to a JSON file. The data in the log files are stored in categories based on [IRC numerics](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/internet-relay-chat/random/master/numerics.txt) & events.

An extensive amount research on IRC daemons, services, & common practices used by network administrators was done & has fine tuned this project to be able to evade common triggers that thwart *(finally got to use this word)* what we are doing.
