All the commands that are necessary to have a good experience on a IRC chat network are working (A list of the availlable commands at the end of the file) Accept connexions from any IRC client

There is a bot protection, the server can ban IP adresses if some patterns are detected Those adresses are stored in the conf file, with some other settings which can be changed. The connections log file can also be used with Fail2Ban to block ddos

The admin password is stored in the conf file as SHA256. If a client connects with this password, it becomes administrator of the server and have full access to any commands like a moderator, plus 'SERVBAN' and 'SERVUNBAN' followed by an IP which allows to manually ban or unban IPs.
