[[Chat::irc]]

A2K: A2K (formerly known as Accutron 2000) is a small, simple, and unobtrusive IRC bot. It is meant to do only a few things, do them well, and generally be seen and not heard. It is written in Python, and thus should theoretically run anywhere you have Python and a working TCP/IP stack.

AFR: Automated File Retrieval (AFR) is a plugin for X-Chat. It is a queue-based file retrieval utility that can download files from many different types of file servers on IRC.

Ambassador: Ambassador is a fork of the ChatZilla IRC client built upon the Unified XUL Platform. It features a simple, straighforward interface with a number of options for customization and extensibility. It is available as an add-on compatible with other applications built upon UXP, and as a stand-alone package that can be installed and run independently of a browser.

Anontwi: Anontwi - is a tool for OAuth2 applications (such as: GNUSocial, Twitter...) that provides different layers of encryption and privacy methods.

AutoProfile: 'AutoProfile' is an extension to Gaim that lets users create customized away messages and profiles that can include dynamic content such as fortune quotes, computer uptime, and timestamps. The managing system handles the automatic periodic update of content text. Users configure the system throough a GUI, then set an away message simply by typing "/away" into an IM window and "/back" to do the opposite.

BSFlite: 'BSFlite' is a minimalistic, line-based AIM client. It is designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind and thus utilises as little RAM and CPU time as possible in order to be friendly to multiuser systems. It uses the OSCAR protocol to communicate with the AIM service. Instead of having a full screen console interface, BSFlite uses a command shell interface that lets you type without needlessly sifting through windows. It supports most standard AIM features, except chat rooms and block lists.

Bitlbee: An IRC server which can forward what you say to people on other chat networks: Jabber, ICQ, AIM, MSN and Yahoo.

BlameHangle: IRC bot that strives to do common tasks without blocking by using asynchronous sockets, threads and callbacks.

Bpquotes: 'bpquotes' is a quotations database designed for letting IRC users submit amusing quotes for others to see.

CGI:IRC: CGI:IRC is a Perl/CGI program that allows you to use IRC from a Web browser without having to have access to an IRC port. It does not use Java, but it does need a browser capable of rendering frames. It can be used on a Web page to allow users to chat, or it can be used to access chat from behind a firewall. CGI:IRC has an interface similar to many GUI IRC clients, with a tab for each channel, userlist and options tab (when used in modern, version 5+ browsers). Older browsers degrade to a single windowed interface with a slower updating userlist.

CWirc: CWirc is a plugin for the X-Chat IRC client to transmit raw Morse code over the internet using IRC servers as reflectors. The transmitted Morse code can be received in near real-time by other X-Chat clients with the CWirc plugin. CWirc tries to emulate a standard amateur radio rig: it sends and receives Morse over virtual channels, and it can listen to multiple senders transmitting on the same channel. Morse code is keyed locally using a straight or iambic key connected to a serial port, or using the mouse buttons, and sound plays through the sound card, or through an external sounder.

Chaosircd: 'chaosircd' is an IRC daemon with commands, channel modes, user modes, and flood control implemented as runtime (re)loadable modules. DNS and AUTH (ident) queries are done in a single child process so as to not waste valuable file descriptors and responsiveness. It also features a server-server protocol using timestamps for netsplit handling similar to TS5 (hybrid), and OpenSSL encrypted server-server and client-server connections.

ChatRelater

Chat Relater is a tool consisting of two command-line scripts:

The analyzer extracts user relations from chat logs. The gained data is serialized as YAML.
The visualizer takes that data and utilizes GraphViz to create a graph.

Circe

Circe is an IRC client for Emacs. It integrates well with the rest of the editor, using standard Emacs key bindings and indicating activity in channels in the status bar so it stays out of your way unless you want to use it. Features include:

Per-query and per-channel buffers
Auto-query buffers/windows (even on /MSG)*Nick-highlighting*An extensible ignore*Automatic splitting at word boundaries of long lines to be sent
Flood protection
Per-server (not per-channel) separate encoding and decoding coding systems; an Emacs feature even allows the client to transparently work with multiple encodings, such as when both Latin-1 and UTF-8 are used on a channel*Auto-join
NickServ-support
Netsplit handling

Ctrlproxy: 'ctrlproxy' is an IRC server with multiserver support. It runs as a daemon and connects to a number of IRC servers, then lets you to connect from a workstation and work as the user who is logged in to the IRC server. After you disconnect, it maintains the connection to the server. It acts like any normal IRC server, so you can use any IRC client to connect to it. It supports multiple client connections to one IRC server (under the same nick), so you can connect to IRC using your IRC nick, even if you have an IRC session open somewhere else. It supports logging (in the same format as the irssi IRC client), password authentication, and ctcp (in case no clients are connected).

Dircproxy: 'dircproxy' is an IRC proxy server ("bouncer") for people who use IRC from lots of different workstations or clients, but wish to remain connected and see what they missed while they were away. Users connect to IRC through dircproxy, and remain connected to the server, even after a client is detached from it. While they're detached, 'dircproxy' logs channel and private messages as well as important events; when users reattach it downloads those logs to you using ordinary IRC protocol.

Eggdrop: Eggdrop is an IRC bot. It sits on a channel and takes protective measures to keep the channel from being taken over (in the few ways that anything can), to recognize banished users or sites and reject them, to recognize privileged users and let them gain ops, etc. You access your shell acount with a username and password, via a telnet connection or ftp; you then find yourself at a command prompt where you can execute various programs, manipulate files and check email. You upload your personal files (ie webpages or graphics) via FTP.

Ejabberd: 'ejabberd' is a multi-platform, scalable, distributed, and fault-tolerant XMPP Jabber server. It supports advanced features such as multi-user chat, IRC transport, publish and subscribe services, Jabber user directory, a Web-based administration interface, an HTTP polling service, SSL and TLS support, LDAP and external authentication.

Hybridbot: This bot acts as a normal user inside both a IRC channel and a XMPP MUC room, and relays/resends the messages received in one end to the other automatically.

Ii: ii is a minimalist FIFO and filesystem-based IRC client. It creates an irc directory tree with server, channel and nick name directories. In every directory a FIFO in file and a normal out file is created. The in file is used to communicate with the servers and the out files contain the server messages. For every channel and every nick name there are related in and out files created. This allows IRC communication from the command line. Join a channel as follows: $ echo "/j #wmii" > in and ii creates a new #wmii (channel) directory with in and out files.

Irc: This library is intended to encapsulate the IRC protocol at a quite low level. It provides an event-driven IRC client framework. It has a fairly thorough support for the basic IRC protocol, CTCP and DCC connections.

Irc-Scroller: This is a candidate for deletion: Links broken. No archive.org entry. Email to maintainer broken. Poppy-one (talk) 09:24, 13 August 2018 (EDT) IrcScroller is a Web script that parses different IRC log formats, and dynamically displays them as Web pages, updating almost in real time.

Irssi: Irssi is a modular, command-line IRC client.

Janus internetwork channel linker: Janus is a server that allows IRC networks to share certain channels to other linked networks without needing to share all channels and make all users visible across both networks. If configured to allow it, users can also share their own channels across any linked network.

JsChat

JsChat is a chat system. It has an easy to learn JSON protocol, an ncurses client, a web app, and a server. You can try it right now on jschat.org. JsChat is similar to IRC, but itÃ¢â¬â¢s a fundamentally simpler system. The web app has lots of interesting features:

IRC-like commands: /names, /name new_name (/nick works too), /clear, /lastlog
ItÃ¢â¬â¢s pretty tiny; itÃ¢â¬â¢s built with Sinatra and Prototype
Auto-linking: pasting an image displays it inline, youtube and vimeo videos will appear as well
Last messages are displayed on join: the last 100 messages are displayed, so you donÃ¢â¬â¢t feel lost when you join a room
Tab completion!

KVirc: 'KVirc' includes multiple chat-windows, a themeable GUI, a builtin help browser, activity notification, support for proxy servers and SSL connections, the abiltiy of connecting to multiple servers, a database of registered users and comprehensive scripting support. It has been translated into 14 languages. It can use KDE but does not depend on it.

Kirc: Kirc is a lightweight, terminal/console IRC client. It is designed to be compatible with all POSIX-compliant operating systems (including GNU/Linux). Kirc has no dependencies, only requiring a C99 compiler (such as GCC) and POSIX C header files to be built. Instead of having commands specific to itself, Kirc allows users to send raw IRC commands to the server it is connected to. Kirc has basic Emacs-style keybindings for text entry. Whilst mostly minimalistic in nature, Kirc has features such as chat history logging, terminal colours and SASL authentication. Kirc does not support TLS encryption; the developer suggests using a program like Stunnel or Socat to encapsulate the IRC connection within an encrypted 'tunnel'.

KiwiIRC: KiwiIRC makes Web IRC easy. A hand-crafted IRC client that you can enjoy. Designed to be used easily and freely.

Mbot: 'mbot' is an IRC bot whose main advantage is that several bots can run simultaneously in the same process. This makes it ideal for shells where the background processes, but not the connections, are limited. It also features IPv6 support, TCL scripting partially compatible with eggdrop, and other modules with the most commonly needed functions.

Miau: 'miau' is a small, fully featured IRC bouncer. Features include so-called quicklogging, logging, auto-opping, and dcc-bouncing. Most features can be enabled/disabled with a configure script. 'miau' offers a service a bit like HTTP-proxy, but for IRC networks. The difference is that when IRC-client disconnects from bouncer, the connection to the server isn't necessarily lost, so your nick can stay online and cannot be taken by the others. In case bouncer does loses the nick, it can try to get it back automatically. Also, when using bouncer, the hostname appearing in IRC is that of the machine the bouncer is running at, not the one you are IRCing from.

Netclasses: Netclasses is an asynchronous networking library that works on OS X natively, and any of the multitude of platforms supported by GNUstep. You've never seen an easier way to put together network applications! It has built-in support for line-based protocols, IRC, and raw TCP/IP streams.

NgIRCd: ngIRCd is a free, portable and lightweight Internet Relay Chat server for small or private networks, developed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The server is quite easy to configure, can handle dynamic IP addresses, and optionally supports IDENT, IPv6 connections, SSL-protected links, and PAM for user authentication as well as character set conversion for legacy clients. The server has been written from scratch and is not based on the "forefather", the daemon of the IRCNet. The name ngIRCd means next-generation IRC daemon, which is a little bit exaggerated: lightweight Internet Relay Chat server most probably would have been a better name :-)

Perlbot: * " Please note that this code is largely abandoned. " Perlbot is an IRC bot that depends on Net::IRC. Its goals are simplicity, a small footprint, and modularity. It's meant as a more easily configured but less robust alternative to bots like eggdrop. It's also noticeably faster by the authors' tests. The base bot allows auto-opping, notes, multiple channels, etc., but much much more is possible through the use of plugins. Many plugins are included, and it should be easy for anyone with some knowledge of Perl to write her own.

Pidgin: Pidgin is a modular instant messaging client that supports many popular chat protocols. It is actively being developed and supports many common features of other clients, inlcuding many unique features.It also supports multiple protocols, including AIM (Oscar and TOC), Yahoo!, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Jabber (xmpp), Napster, Zephyr and IRC.

Danm (talk) 14:07, 22 October 2017 (EDT) Pink is an IRC bot with many standard bot-features (nick-links, greets, google searching), as well as some more interesting features like a freshmeat searcher, a Debian/Gentoo/FreeBSD package/port info command, teletext, and what's-on-TV-right-now. It is also easy to extend. The Web site is currently only in Dutch.

Polari: Polari is an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client designed for the GNOME desktop environment.

Psyced: psyced is a distributed chat and messaging system based on the Protocol for SYnchronous Conferencing. PSYC is multicast and routed between servers and clients in a scalable and efficient way, but users can also comfortably use IRC clients, telnet, Web chat, or Jabber to enter the network. psyced communicates with Jabber/XMPP servers and hosts chat rooms that are freely programmable and cannot be hacked. It also provides gateways to several IRC networks, but unlike IRC, everyone can run a server and be an equal member of the PSYC network.

Puszcza-guppy: A modular cross-platform chat bot in Python. She performs automated functions at live chat networks. guppy currently serves some common tasks like calculation, web search, words and domain look-up.

PyIrcServer: 'pyIrcServer' (or pyIS) is a powerful and very personalizable IRCd. You can use it on any platform that runs Python and set up a very personalizable config. pyIS is runnable as you download it; one click and it's ready. This is possible because its code is interpreted, so you don't need to compile the sources. You can add or remove features by changing modules, classes and utils. The modules expand the classes, and the classes expand the entire IRCd. You can totally change the aspect of your IRCd by changing classes and modules, and in order to be very configurable, the configuration file too.
