These are the following "open source" server bot programs that work with TSora based ircd's (Hybrid, ircd-ratbox, csircd, and 2.8.21+CS). The list is arranged by category, and is likely not complete.
Server bots are defined (by me for the purpose of this list) as bot programs designed to be run by IRC operators or administrators for some purpose supporting the server. Bots designed to be used by normal users (for information, channel control, entertainment, or file transfer) are not included. Bots designed to abuse the IRC servers, network, or other users are also not included.
This is part of a series of pages providing information on programs usable with TSora IRC servers.
I have not run all of these programs. I cannot guarantee that any will even work. I also cannot guarantee they will work with all platforms.
The local copies of the programs may or may not be current. I try to keep them current but I sometimes will lag behind for a period of time.
Any entry with a gold background are programs that have been updated within the past year and/or are actively maintained.
Monitor Bots
