What sort of features would you like to see in an IRC bot? - Lain - March 5th, 2019 I'm going to be building a bot for one of my servers soon, just to help do certain things automatically, but I honestly don't know how many features to put into it. I'm taking a more security-oriented approach, so features will likely have something to do with that. This is what I've got so far: Google Dorker (drops first page of results from a dork) Update MOTD from source (Send it a raw pastebin, it updates the ircd.motd itself) Check is website is up (Either by API or making ping from itself) Simple IP lookup Run python/ruby/perl/shell script from server and get output This would be rather primitive, though, since those features are relatively easy to implement. So any suggestions on anything else I could add? I wouldn't mind leaving the source for them here if I implement them.
