     11 1) Introduction
     12 
     13     Anope 1.6 onwards supports a unique protection mechanism based on the
     14     military "Defense Readiness Condition" (DefCon) system. It is based on
     15     5 levels of defense readiness defined as:
     16 
     17     DEFCON5 Normal peacetime readiness
     18     DEFCON4 Increased intelligence and security readiness
     19     DEFCON3 Increase in force readiness
     20     DEFCON2 Further increase in force readiness
     21     DEFCON1 Maximum force readiness.
     22 
     23     These are configurable levels that mandates what actions Anope should
     24     take in case of emergency and change in readiness status.
     25 
     26     It is used to prevent abuse to both Services, and the ircd on which they
     27     are running. Also to protect the users, primarily in the event of Clones
     28     and/or FloodBOT attacks.
     29 
     30 2) Installation
     31 
     32     The DefCon system is part of Anope's core,
     33 
     34     The DefCon system has to be configured on your operserv.conf file to
     35     be enabled. Defcon will be disabled if "defaultlevel" in the defcon
     36     block is left commented, or set to 0. Look for the defcon block
     37     on your operserv.conf file for more information on enabling and
     38     configuring it.
     39 
     40     Make sure you restart Anope after changing the DefCon configuration
     41     directives.
     42 
     43 3) Configuration
     44 
     45     Pre-defined DefCon actions:
     46 
     47     No new channel registrations
     48     No New Nick Registrations
     49     No Mode Lock changes
     50     Force Chan Mode
     51     Use Reduced Session Limit
     52     KILL any new clients trying to connect
     53     Services will ignore everyone but opers
     54     Services will silently ignore everyone but opers
     55     AKILL all new clients trying to connect
     56     No new memos sent to block MemoServ attacks
     57 
     58     Information regarding how to enable this for specific defcon levels can
     59     be found in operserv.conf
     60 
     61 4) Usage
     62 
     63     Anope starts up in DEFCON5 (normal readiness). To change the Defcon level
     64     in action use:
     65 
     66     /msg OperServ DEFCON 1|2|3|4|5
     67 
     68 5) Usage Example
     69 
     70     Place the network on DEFCON4:
     71 
     72     /msg OperServ DEFCON 4
     73 
     74     -OperServ- Services are now at DEFCON 4
     75     -OperServ- * No new channel registrations
     76     -OperServ- * No new nick registrations
     77     -OperServ- * No mode lock changes
     78     -OperServ- * Use the reduced session limit of 5
     79 
     80     -Global- The Defcon Level is now at: 4
     81 
     82     Restore normal readiness:
     83 
     84     /msg OperServ DEFCON 5
     85 
     86     -OperServ- Services are now at DEFCON 5
     87 
     88     -Global- Services are now back to normal, sorry for any inconvenience
