  34 <PRE>I feel this needs to be pointed out,
  35
  36 Currently, Nickserv generally kills users after 5 invalid passwords. This module apparently provides a way for users to 'test' passwords without any cause for alarm.
  37
  38 This also means people will be able to brute force passwords using this command.
  39
  40 I thought i would point this out as it can be concidered a threat.

  59 &gt;<i>Hi,
  60 </I>&gt;<i>
  61 </I>&gt;<i>Today I got myself familiar with module programming for services and
  62 </I>&gt;<i>wrote a module that does what I want.
  63 </I>&gt;<i>
  64 </I>&gt;<i>Although I didn't write any documentation yet, for those who want to
  65 </I>&gt;<i>experiment with it the module is available for download:
  66 </I>&gt;<i><A HREF="http://www.phedny.net/~mark/testpass.tar.gz">http://www.phedny.net/~mark/testpass.tar.gz</A> and
  67 </I>&gt;<i><A HREF="http://www.phedny.net/~mark/testpass.tar.bz2">http://www.phedny.net/~mark/testpass.tar.bz2</A>
  68 </I>&gt;<i>
  69 </I>&gt;<i>Untar the file into the services source dir and do a make, make install.
  70 </I>&gt;<i>Then add &quot;LoadModule testpass/main&quot; to the end of the ircservices.conf
  71 </I>&gt;<i>file (at least after loading NickServ / ChanServ).
  72 </I>&gt;<i>
  73 </I>&gt;<i>The TESTPASS command is not added to any HELP command, but is available
  74 </I>&gt;<i>for both NickServ and ChanServ:
  75 </I>&gt;<i>/msg NickServ TESTPASS &lt;user&gt; &lt;password&gt;
  76 </I>&gt;<i>/msg ChanServ TESTPASS &lt;channel&gt; &lt;password&gt;
  77 </I>&gt;<i>
  78 </I>&gt;<i>The commands are only available for Services Admins.
  79 </I>&gt;<i>
  80 </I>&gt;<i>- Mark
