They "randomly" attack a server, then, after dosome stuff, they install a bouncer (BNC) or an eggdrop (a bot).Why? well sometimes to presume, other times to spoof they ip addresson the irc server, etc.Basically they use the BNC (on the compromised host) as a proxybetween he and the irc server ( i.e. chat.freenode.net ).
Why attackers use irc after hacking?
Because they are to0 l33ter and want to presume on the (irc)universe.That's the most common answer, but there are other reasons.... like bean asshole.
Just chatting is not...I guess..
No, is not chatting, because they can do "other" things like: set afunny vhost, avoid being banned (this really depends on the op), use abot (eggdrop) to control channels, etc. etc. Take a look at this 2 links for (basic)definitions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggdrop http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouncer_%28IRC%29 Good bye --Gonzalo MartinezJabber: KarMax@jabber.org
