[Intrusions] IRC bot on MacOS

[Benjamin Koch]

Hello Donald,

The program called "psybnc" is an IRC bouncer - also known as an
"IRC proxy".
It is only for hiding the original IP address of the user connected to
the IRC network, keep a channel or the user IRC modes.
It is also useful because it is like an "answerphone" for offline
users.

It contains no malicious code - i use it too (for security reasons...)

The only matter to be suspicious to this kind of program is:
You or an other friendly person with local/ssh access didn't install it.
Maybe it is an intruder's work to use your MAC sys as a proxy for
maybe a Botnet controlling channel.

Best solution is to check if this is installed by a friend or
intruder.
See the psybnc.conf in the installed directory for more informations:
Login data, network and channel names where the bouncer is active are saved
there.

I hope i could help you
