Single executable irc client

[Nozzer]

Anyobody aware of a client that will run without any extra dlls being referenced, perhaps a hybrid compile of BitchX?

Cheers,

Tom.

mIRC doesnt use any DLL files iirc.

 

[Nozzer]

Hmm... are you sure?

**Edit** Just tried it on my home machine, it'll run OK creating dirs as it needs them, but it may need some funny dll. I'll give it a go on the campus machines tomorrow.

This may be a stupid question but why do you need a client that uses no dll's?

 

[Speccy]

some remote other side of the firewall jobby i reckon

Kind of... The sysadmin in his infinite wisdom insists on using RM machines. Anyone who knows these will know they come complete with the most totally anal secuity system known to man. Ours are set up so that any exe that references a .dll will not be allowed to run, unless specified by the admin.

Simply renaming exes doesn't appear to work...

Such a shame that command.com is blocked too, otherwise I'd have no problems running a simple HTTP tunnel to my Linux box via SSH, from which I could irc.

Still, I'll give a mIRC a go.

You could also try this is you having serious problems, all it needs is a CGI Engabled host like F2S.com

http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/

 

[Nozzer]

Oh if only our HTTP proxy allowed *.cgi stuff...

' Told you it was anal

 

[.cage]

hmm, must try that

 

[Mr_Horus]

mIRC runs fine for me, i just installed it to my home dir on the student file server.
Plus the Uni admins here havent firewalled IRC \o/

 

[Nozzer]

Pffft... mIRC ran fine this morning, shame the HTTP tunnel is failing.

Oh well, IT WILL WORK r^£$&%$%%&

He aint anal, He's just trying to stop you bloody students from ruining the configuration he's built over the summer while you were sat on your assess. hehe

Sorry, I know where he's coming from

 

[Nozzer]

Well I can understand a degree of secuirty, but we can't even create sub-direcotires for christ's sake.

Best way. Have you read the Microsoft Security Bulletin Q23356 - Sub-folder DoS Vulnerability article?

oof - i can't believe i clicked that

 

[Summo]

It surfaces again.

 

[DAN200]

I know of some IRC programs that work via a Java Applet in IE, try that.

 

[Nozzer]

Yeah, I've tried just about every workaround I can think of, the ports are just blocked.

I really need to work out why this HTTP tunnel doesn't work.
