History
Undernet was established in October 1992 by Danny "WildThang" Mitchell, Donald "WHIZZARD" Lambert, and Laurent "_dl" Demally as an experimental network running a modified version of the EFnet irc2.7 IRC server software, created in an attempt to make it less bandwidth consumptive and less chaotic, as netsplits and takeovers were starting to plague EFnet. The Undernet IRC daemon became known as "ircu". Year 1992 (MCMXCII) was a leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1992 Gregorian calendar). ...

Services Undernet uses GNUworld to provide X, its channel service bot. X operates on a username basis; a username is independent from a nickname, which cannot be registered on Undernet. Internet bots, also known as web robots, WWW robots or simply bots, are software applications that run automated tasks over the internet. ...
As Undernet limits channel registration to "established channels," or channels with an active userbase, Undernet introduced a version of ChanFix (under nickname C) designed to work like EFNet's ChanFix, its use is to protect unregistered channels. ChanFix tracks channel op usage and restores ops if channels become opless or are taken over. An IRC channel operator (commonly shortened to op) is a user that moderates an IRC channel on a given IRC network. ...

Undernet also runs an open proxy scanner. This proxyscanner scans users currently connecting to the network for open WinGate, SOCKS version 4/5, and HTTP proxy servers. IP addresses hosting open proxy servers are automatically G-lined from the network. These changes were put in place after the 2001 Denial-of-service attacks almost destroyed the network and left Undernet without the registered channel service bot for months. An open proxy is a proxy server which is accessible by any Internet user. ...
