miniircd is a small and limited IRC server.
Despite its size, it is a functional alternative to a full-blown ircd for private or internal use. Installation is simple; no configuration is required.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Knows about the basic IRC protocol and commands.
- Easy installation.
- Basic SSL support.
- No configuration.
- No ident lookup (so that people behind firewalls that filter the ident port without sending NACK can connect without long timeouts).
- Reasonably secure when used with –chroot and –setuid.
