As normal, the script kiddies came out in force for the IRC conferences and it seems they have found a new exploit. Well, heres the info on what causes it and how to fix (AmIRC) it.
The attacks consist of an invite to a long channel name, this will instantly crash AmIRC and other associated clients. How to fix? Simply go through your binary and change the word "INVITE" to a random set of characters. No doubt VaporWare will get this information by the end of the weekend and have a proper fix soon. Dont forget to backup your exe if you try this.
