"Script kiddies have been taking advantage of intrusion prevention features of Symantec's Norton Firewall and Norton Internet Security Suites to knock users offline in IRC channels, according to an amusing post at Washingtonpost.com. From the article: 'Turns out that if someone types "startkeylogger" or "stopkeylogger" in an IRC channel, anyone on the channel using the affected Norton products will be immediately kicked off without warning. These are commands typically issued by the Spybot worm, which spreads over IRC and peer-to-peer file-swapping networks, installing a program that records and transmits everything the victim types (known as a keylogger).' Makes you wonder what other magic keywords produce unexpected results with Symantec's software."

Strange startkeylogger IRC/Norton Bug

I'm not quite sure what the problem is with this, but I'm told its a problem with norton personal firewall.

When you type "startkeylogger" in a populated IRC channel you will notice that many of the clients in the channel quit, with the quit message: "Read error: Connection reset by peer".

Fun Fun Fun!
