InspIRCd is an IRC daemon written entirely from scratch, it is one of the few IRC daemons to be written in C++ and it was released under the GNU General Public License.[1] InspIRCd is the second most used IRC daemon according to the ranking on SearchIRC. The first stable release of InspIRCd was in 2002.

InspIRCd has recently moved to GitHub. However, not all of the InspIRCd wiki pages have been moved over yet. Meanwhile, a copy of the wiki can be found on the Internet Archive.

Prominent Features

Due to its modularity, InspIRCd offers runtime reloadable core commands and can be extended with custom functionality without bloating the thin core which allows for very customized installations. For Windows users, it offers a GUI not only for starting/stopping the IRCd but also for creating a configuration file automatically by asking the user for the desired values.[2]

Other interesting features are Linux epoll support and Windows IOCP support for good performance even with a vast amount of simultaneous connections, a regular expressions spam filter and abstract oper classes with different assigned rights for easy oper management especially for a larger staff.[3]

InspIRCd has its own m_dsnbl module that offers proxy scanner functionally, similar to BOPM.[4]

Usage & Popularity

According to SearchIRC.com, it is, following UnrealIRCd, the second-to-most popular IRCd on networks crawled by SearchIRC.com. At some point, Unreal developers considered forking InspIRCd for the new Unreal 4 release,[5] but ultimatively they dropped that idea again in favour of something new written from scratch.[6]

A bigger network where it is currently in use is ChatSpike, which is also the one that drives development.[1]

InspIRCd is most commonly used along side Anope and Atheme services packages[Source?] but can also be used with various others such as IRC Services.

Releases

InspIRCd is currently available in two stable branches:

  • 2.0.6rc1 and 1.2.9rc1 are both available too.[9]

InspIRCd 2.1 is also being worked on.[10]
