1) Introduction
Anope 1.6 onwards supports a unique protection mechanism based on the
military "Defense Readiness Condition" (DefCon) system. It is based on
5 levels of defense readiness defined as:
DEFCON5 Normal peacetime readiness
DEFCON4 Increased intelligence and security readiness
DEFCON3 Increase in force readiness
DEFCON2 Further increase in force readiness
DEFCON1 Maximum force readiness.
These are configurable levels that mandates what actions Anope should
take in case of emergency and change in readiness status.
It is used to prevent abuse to both Services, and the ircd on which they
are running. Also to protect the users, primarily in the event of Clones
and/or FloodBOT attacks.
2) Installation
The DefCon system is part of Anope's core,
The DefCon system has to be configured on your operserv.conf file to
be enabled. Defcon will be disabled if "defaultlevel" in the defcon
block is left commented, or set to 0. Look for the defcon block
on your operserv.conf file for more information on enabling and
configuring it.
Make sure you restart Anope after changing the DefCon configuration
directives.
3) Configuration
Pre-defined DefCon actions:
No new channel registrations
No New Nick Registrations
No Mode Lock changes
Force Chan Mode
Use Reduced Session Limit
KILL any new clients trying to connect
Services will ignore everyone but opers
Services will silently ignore everyone but opers
AKILL all new clients trying to connect
No new memos sent to block MemoServ attacks
Information regarding how to enable this for specific defcon levels can
be found in operserv.conf
4) Usage
Anope starts up in DEFCON5 (normal readiness). To change the Defcon level
in action use:
/msg OperServ DEFCON 1|2|3|4|5
5) Usage Example
Place the network on DEFCON4:
/msg OperServ DEFCON 4
-OperServ- Services are now at DEFCON 4
-OperServ- * No new channel registrations
-OperServ- * No new nick registrations
-OperServ- * No mode lock changes
-OperServ- * Use the reduced session limit of 5
-Global- The Defcon Level is now at: 4
Restore normal readiness:
/msg OperServ DEFCON 5
-OperServ- Services are now at DEFCON 5
-Global- Services are now back to normal, sorry for any inconvenience
