Bobot++ is a C++ IRC bot that can perform several functions, including sending messages and managing channels.
First and foremost, "bobot++" has "No backdoor". Unlike many other bots, this bot doesn't have any hidden commands. Its sources are completely accessible, and you can verify that there isn't any backdoor available.
This bot can also handle "Multichannel." You can join as many channels as you want, and each channel's access and privileges can be controlled separately.
With "Flood control", you can be at peace as the bot is designed to ignore people who try to flood it. This feature is essential when dealing with large groups of people.
The bot also offers "Output rate control and priority handling." The bot sends its commands to the server at the highest possible rate without creating an "excess flood". It prioritizes the essential commands such as MODE's, etc.
"Time dependent commands" are a real lifesaver – you can ban a user for a fixed amount of time, rather than having the ban list filled with names permanently.
The bot has an impressive "Complex online help system". Users can easily access a list of commands they can execute. Each command has a description in the help system, making it easier for the users to understand how the bot works.
There are "Four user levels" - user, trusted user, friend, and master – and each of them has different privileges. There are also three different protections: no kick, no ban, and no deop, along with potential auto-op.
The bot supports "combined join and channel op of 2.9 servers on IRCNet", which is a rare feature.
The bot "logs" commands and events, which provides an excellent overview of the bot's functioning.
The bot also offers "Intelligent ban and deban" to help prevent abuse.
"Password protection on accounts" and "expiration dates on user accounts" offer additional security, and "Anti-spoof" ensures that no one can acquire operator privileges by spoofing the bot.
Finally, the bot offers "Optional support of scripts written in Scheme (using guile)".
This release has fixed numerous bugs, such as no longer segfaults when loading bobot-utils.scm, the bot:match-to-me now produces a valid regexp again, scripts/uname is now properly using (ice-9 rdelim) instead of redelim, and the bot:load now can load files properly.
Overall, "bobot++" is a comprehensive IRC bot that provides a range of features, keeping different user levels and protections in mind. It is worth giving it a try to see its prowess.
