Welcome to the IQ.ORG Cryptography Server (aka Blinded)!
This is a private IRC server. It exists primarily as an encrypted live
communications network for the cryptography community and friends as
represented by the following mailinglists:
aes@suburbia.net
aucrypto@suburbia.net
crypt@sun.soci.niu.edu
cryptography@c2.net
CodherPlunks@toad.com
cypherpunks@algebra.com
lacc@suburbia.net
ssl-users@openssl.org
ukcrypto@mailbase.ox.ac.uk
Notable channels:
#crypto
To start up an unencrypted session:
Point your irc client at irc.iq.org port 70.
To start up an encrypted session:
mybox$ ssh -v -l irc -p 443 -L 6667:crypto.iq.org:70 irc.iq.org &
mybox$ irc myname localhost:6667
The above wrapped up into a shell script:
#!/bin/sh
ssh -v -l irc -p 443 -L 6667:crypto.iq.org:70 irc.iq.org irc &
sleep 15
irc -c '#crypto' $1 localhost:6667
If you add 'GatewayPorts yes' to your '~/.ssh/rc' file then other
hosts on your intranet (e.g windows boxes running mirc) can leverage
off the existing encrypted tunnel to crypto.iq.org, without the
need to run ssh on their own by using mybox:6667 as their irc
server.
Users showing up as connecting in from `crypto.iq.org' are using an
encrypted tunnel. Users from other hosts are not.
Depending on how leaky the individual irc client concerned is,
encrypted connections automatically have complete anonymity (for
the reason mentioned above). As DCC's take place directly between
clients, DCCs will not work between anonymous users.
