About

Originally started back in the late 1990s, hybrid(core) was a patch for eggdrop that introduced numerous changes/improvements for private botpacks and irc warfare. While typically it was also paired with either daCrew.tcl, phorce.tcl or tnt.tcl it had quite a bit of use outside of those botpacks as well. The version that was used here as a basis is believed to be the final release, which was for eggdrop-1.1.6-p8.1.

Features

Given that not everything that was originally added/changed in the eggdrop-1.1.6 version of hybrid(core) is still relevant. Listed here are the core features that were taken and ported to the newer version.

• Automatic encryption/decryption of the chanfile and userfile
• Hosts.allow for telnet/dcc (also now with automatic encryption/decryption)
• Key used for encryption is compiled into the executable (no cleartext files)
• MSG functions have been removed, all that remain have been prefixed with '+' and possibly also renamed
• DH1080 Tcl module was added for blowcrypt (FiSH) support
• Built to be run with akira.tcl

Setup

If you plan to setup your own net it should first be stated that if you do not plan on running akira.tcl then you are on your own.

Config

Open up src/hybridcore.h in a text editor. The variables you might want to change are all listed below:

/* cbc encryption salt for hybrid(core) and tcl files */
#define HYBRID_SALT "AKiRA!2600"
/* hardcoded bot owner */
#define HYBRID_OWNER "kyau"
/* tcl script (encrypted) to auto-load */
#define HYBRID_TCLSCRIPT "akira.tcl"
/* ip for the admin (telnet hosts.allow) */
#define HYBRID_ADMINALLOW "23.94.70.21"
/* ip range for local communication (telnet hosts.allow) */
#define HYBRID_LOCALALLOW "10.42.1.*"

Install

In order to install hybrid(core), run the following:

# autoconf
# ./configure --enable-tls
# make config
# make
# make install
# make sslcert
