Im looking for a script that will output the contents of a private message sent to my eggdrop

im using this small bit of script at the moment but need to build on it

It would be a lot helpful if you provide information about the private message received (format) and the user@host (and nickname) of the sender.

This request seems highly unethical and also violates the Forum Rules

@TCL_no_TK:
There might very well be ethical concerns with monitoring conversations. However, there is nothing afaik that would ban such a request on this forum in the forum rules. In the end, it all comes down to the person using this script. Also, this would not even be possible without a customized ircd for starters.. All an eggdrop would do would be to relay messages sent to the eggdrop (in theory).

On my server conversations are logged for security reason`s only and it do state to our users they are logged for security

reason for logging is we have users that are of an age 13 upwards conversations are only checked when requested by the user if they have had a private message sent them thats of bad content

Sorry but I do not believe theirs anything unethical about making sure our users can use our chat site and feel safe problem with most chat sites and other servers are that dont use these means are they suffer from issues with undesirable users joining the networks were teen users are if me logging a conversation means ive stopped a peadophile from grooming his next victim then im happy with that and as ive said it states to our users that all communications are logged if they choose to use our chat service that also means they are happy with our terms and guidlines

Networks use this term its unethical but they also wouldnt believe something that has been copy pasted to them as it can be edited its a shame most think more about the security of their rooms or servers and less about the ppl that make them rooms/servers a good place to use last thing I want is getting tied up in some case issues because a yougster has been groomed by some sicko and found dead.

My base reason for asking for this request is we have admin that are ircop only and do not have access to use the standalone command only network admin have this my eggdrop has network admin status because of what it does on my server this way all ircops locops will beable to use the monitoring command issued via my eggdrop all i need it do is output to them the content of the private message sent by IRC to the eggdrop

Blake,
Would this by any chance be the f_pmspy UnrealIRCd module by fez?
From what I could gather, the relayed message would look something like this (in RFC1459 notation):

The unreal's spy module is near impossibly to find and the fact that you have it, must mean you have read ALL the text involved and warnings for it. This means you understand that the use of it is HIGHLY unethical AND HIGHLY illegal in most countries (including yours). And telling users this does not void their right of privacy.

There is no viable reason to spy on users (much less a legal one) that you can't prevent or filter by some other means. You could for example use /spamfilter to block things from your users that you don't want them to see and you can also FORCE channel modes and user modes to include +G, which will filter out any 'badwords'.

EDIT: Those that want to argue to me about this, I quote this from angrywolf's unrealircd module website:

No, that only pertains to Govermental Powers and the Police... Are you either? No? Then you're perpetrating human right violations and SEVERAL of your countries laws (both of which your users can sue you for...).

The only other exception to this law would be if you owned the equipment you are monitoring and the users were your employees.

Also try to download m_spy.c from angrywolf's website - you can't and he doesn't provide it anymore with, what I feel, is very good reasons.

Even worse you're going to give local IRCop's the power to monitor people, what keeps them from abusing this and monitoring people without any good reason or selling or abusing the information they get from this (this can end up violating the Data Protection Act). The probability for abuse gets worse the more people have access to this command.

But like angrywolf said - use it at your own risk and remember, with me telling you all this, you can't claim ignorance when things go wrong. I did my ethical part now (and my human right #29 and yours [Where I have a obligation to tell you these things]) and I won't bother you any futher.

In that case, the regular expression would be like this:

My eggdrop is now recieving the messages form IRC but is not outputting them to a private message

This is on bots partyline

First off, you should'nt use the same flag for the server record as for the ones trusted with the spyadd/spydel commands. We want a specific flag that identifies the servers uniquely, so that none may fake a logged message.

Next, the test for whether the IRC handle exists or not, and the subsequent adding of the record (if missing) was not intended to be added to any proc, but just a failsafe to make sure the user record gets created as the script loads. You could use it within the spyadd proc, but you'll need to keep your braces balanced (properly indenting the code helps getting this right).

Further, you you've added "pubm" and a space (typo?) in the name of the RecvSpyMessage proc. Having spaces in proc names is a very, very bad idea. Further, the command you added to the binding does not match this command name. You've also forgot to include the "mask" argument in the bind declaration.

Now to the logged error. I made a slight typo in the code that adds the new user record, HOST should really be HOSTS on the line starting with "setuser".

Corrected version of the code I posted earlier, also renamed the pubmRecvSpyMessage proc to RecvSpyMessage, as the previous name was misleading (bind declaration updated accordingly):

Still not outputting im guessing its not recognising the ircspy as its not a user its more irc related messages just being sent in a private message ive typed RecvSpyMessage nothing messages are still going to bots partyline just no output

Rehash bot get this
_-6:06pm-_ <ChanGuardian> [18:07] * Duplicate user record 'ircspy'!
_-6:06pm-_ <ChanGuardian> [18:07] Userfile loaded, unpacking...
_-6:07pm-_ <Malphas> .whois ircspy
_-6:07pm-_ <ChanGuardian> [18:07] #Malphas# whois ircspy
_-6:07pm-_ <ChanGuardian> HANDLE PASS NOTES FLAGS LAST
_-6:07pm-_ <ChanGuardian> ircspy no 0 fhlopX never (nowhere)
_-6:07pm-_ <ChanGuardian> HOSTS: IRC!IRC@hub.chattersworld.co.uk

Should I change ircspy to just IRC

Something such as what is below should work. This copies all the advice given above, as well as adding a routine to message all the users who are +A the messages, rather than putlogging them.
