As the title suggests I am looking for a IRC server to connect up to with people who are learning to hack etc etc or other stuff as im studying I also want to test out the cool command line irc client i am using lol which might sound really gay

1988 called, they want their software back.

IRC is so exploitable, you can't even imagine, most people nowadays just use XMPP or TOR Related Services

yeah but 1988 was when akira was released so its ok
and afaik there werent any useful exploits per se since like like 2012 with a few which affected ircd services indirectly (shellshock) or only the clients people used (hexchat/mirc). unless there is something else which im curious about.

if ur gonna mention the stuff about either whois or those p2p commands like to get the users time, most ircd services can be configured to now allow those commands (or theyre open sourced so you can remove them entirely)

I believe a lot of the general IRC User Base used mIRC back in the day and it was exploitable to certain a extent.

Although you're correct, I haven't been active in the mIRC since way back (When i was still playing SA:MP).

IRC is fine as long as you don't have exploits on your client, which is quite rare considering how simple IRC protocol is when it comes to client <-> server part.
You can run the client in a VM if you are really paranoid since its highly unlikely that you will get pwned by a VM escape bug at the same time of which there aren't many and people wont waste 0days that easily.
OT: I would look in freenode and rizon. Honestly i haven't encountered any noteworthy ones that would be quite active.

Don't call IRC as a whole "so exploitable" when all you know is that a single client was exploitable at a certain period in time.

IRC servers are still alive and well, don't be so ignorant.

Wtf are you on about, IRC is perfectly fine and preferable to all these retarded Discord channels being made. It's as secure as you're going to get outside of OTR/PGP.

[Longdog]

Imagine running IRC on root :O

OP ask people on twitter (Not retards tho, avoid the retard at all costs).

Lol I thought IRC was okay surely if it was so bad people would not be connecting with it lol and as for XMPP and Tor services ive been there and used them they are annoying and I wanted something to just quickly connect to in the command line for example the irssi you just type your server and port and connect :)

I want to be just using the command line in general more and more for pretty much everything

I was running IRC on root.... :pppp

I don't think any real hackers use IRC, especially not to communicate about hacking!

It's either:
1. 1on1 IM (XMPP+OTR)
2. 1on1 Email (PGP)
3. Group Forum (TOR)

TOR->IRC is how it's done.

Guess the 3 IRC servers I sit in are pretend then.
Another good one was shut down 2 weeks ago.
