+Eclipse Public License - v 2.0
+
+ THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ECLIPSE
+ PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION
+ OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
+
+1. DEFINITIONS
+
+"Contribution" means:
+
+ a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial content
+ Distributed under this Agreement, and
+
+ b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:
+ i) changes to the Program, and
+ ii) additions to the Program;
+ where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from
+ and are Distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution
+ "originates" from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by
+ such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf.
+ Contributions do not include changes or additions to the Program that
+ are not Modified Works.
+
+"Contributor" means any person or entity that Distributes the Program.
+
+"Licensed Patents" mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which
+are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone
+or when combined with the Program.
+
+"Program" means the Contributions Distributed in accordance with this
+Agreement.
+
+"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement
+or any Secondary License (as applicable), including Contributors.
+
+"Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source Code or other
+form, that is based on (or derived from) the Program and for which the
+editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship.
+
+"Modified Works" shall mean any work in Source Code or other form that
+results from an addition to, deletion from, or modification of the
+contents of the Program, including, for purposes of clarity any new file
+in Source Code form that contains any contents of the Program. Modified
+Works shall not include works that contain only declarations,
+interfaces, types, classes, structures, or files of the Program solely
+in each case in order to link to, bind by name, or subclass the Program
+or Modified Works thereof.
+
+"Distribute" means the acts of a) distributing or b) making available
+in any manner that enables the transfer of a copy.
+
+"Source Code" means the form of a Program preferred for making
+modifications, including but not limited to software source code,
+documentation source, and configuration files.
+
+"Secondary License" means either the GNU General Public License,
+Version 2.0, or any later versions of that license, including any
+exceptions or additional permissions as identified by the initial
+Contributor.
+
+2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
+
+ a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby
+ grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright
+ license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of, publicly display,
+ publicly perform, Distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such
+ Contributor, if any, and such Derivative Works.
+
+ b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby
+ grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent
+ license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell,
+ import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor,
+ if any, in Source Code or other form. This patent license shall
+ apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at
+ the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition
+ of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the
+ Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other
+ combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is
+ licensed hereunder.
+
+ c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the
+ licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are
+ provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the
+ patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity.
+ Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims
+ brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual
+ property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the
+ rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby
+ assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual
+ property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party
+ patent license is required to allow Recipient to Distribute the
+ Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license
+ before distributing the Program.
+
+ d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has
+ sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant
+ the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.
+
+ e) Notwithstanding the terms of any Secondary License, no
+ Contributor makes additional grants to any Recipient (other than
+ those set forth in this Agreement) as a result of such Recipient's
+ receipt of the Program under the terms of a Secondary License
+ (if permitted under the terms of Section 3).
+
+3. REQUIREMENTS
+
+3.1 If a Contributor Distributes the Program in any form, then:
+
+ a) the Program must also be made available as Source Code, in
+ accordance with section 3.2, and the Contributor must accompany
+ the Program with a statement that the Source Code for the Program
+ is available under this Agreement, and informs Recipients how to
+ obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily
+ used for software exchange; and
+
+ b) the Contributor may Distribute the Program under a license
+ different than this Agreement, provided that such license:
+ i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all other Contributors all
+ warranties and conditions, express and implied, including
+ warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and
+ implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness
+ for a particular purpose;
+
+ ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all other Contributors all
+ liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special,
+ incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;
+
+ iii) does not attempt to limit or alter the recipients' rights
+ in the Source Code under section 3.2; and
+
+ iv) requires any subsequent distribution of the Program by any
+ party to be under a license that satisfies the requirements
+ of this section 3.
+
+3.2 When the Program is Distributed as Source Code:
+
+ a) it must be made available under this Agreement, or if the
+ Program (i) is combined with other material in a separate file or
+ files made available under a Secondary License, and (ii) the initial
+ Contributor attached to the Source Code the notice described in
+ Exhibit A of this Agreement, then the Program may be made available
+ under the terms of such Secondary Licenses, and
+
+ b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of
+ the Program.
+
+3.3 Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright, patent,
+trademark, attribution notices, disclaimers of warranty, or limitations
+of liability ("notices") contained within the Program from any copy of
+the Program which they Distribute, provided that Contributors may add
+their own appropriate notices.
+
+4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
+
+Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities
+with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this
+license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program,
+the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product
+offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential
+liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes
+the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor
+("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every
+other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses,
+damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits
+and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified
+Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such
+Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program
+in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not
+apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged
+intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified
+Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in
+writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control,
+and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any
+related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may
+participate in any such claim at its own expense.
+
+For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial
+product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial
+Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance
+claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance
+claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility
+alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to
+defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance
+claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to
+pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay
+those damages.
+
+5. NO WARRANTY
+
+EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND TO THE EXTENT
+PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS"
+BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR
+IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF
+TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the
+appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes all
+risks associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement,
+including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors,
+compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs
+or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.
+
+6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
+
+EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND TO THE EXTENT
+PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS
+SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,
+EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST
+PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN
+CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE)
+ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE
+EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+7. GENERAL
+
+If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under
+applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
+the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further
+action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the
+minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
+
+If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the
+Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software
+or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's
+rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such
+litigation is filed.
+
+All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it
+fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this
+Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of
+time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's
+rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use
+and distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable.
+However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses
+granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive.
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement,
+but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and
+may only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward
+reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of
+this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement
+Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. The Eclipse Foundation
+is the initial Agreement Steward. The Eclipse Foundation may assign the
+responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate
+entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing
+version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be
+Distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was
+received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is published,
+Contributor may elect to Distribute the Program (including its
+Contributions) under the new version.
+
+Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient
+receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any
+Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication,
+estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted
+under this Agreement are reserved. Nothing in this Agreement is intended
+to be enforceable by any entity that is not a Contributor or Recipient.
+No third-party beneficiary rights are created under this Agreement.
+
+Exhibit A - Form of Secondary Licenses Notice
+
+"This Source Code may also be made available under the following
+Secondary Licenses when the conditions for such availability set forth
+in the Eclipse Public License, v. 2.0 are satisfied: {name license(s),
+version(s), and exceptions or additional permissions here}."
+
+ Simply including a copy of this Agreement, including this Exhibit A
+ is not sufficient to license the Source Code under Secondary Licenses.
+
+ If it is not possible or desirable to put the notice in a particular
+ file, then You may include the notice in a location (such as a LICENSE
+ file in a relevant directory) where a recipient would be likely to
+ look for such a notice.
+
+ You may add additional accurate notices of copyright ownership.

+ irker - submission tools for IRC notifications
+
+irkerd is a specialized IRC client that runs as a daemon, allowing
+other programs to ship IRC notifications by sending JSON objects to a
+listening socket.
+
+It is meant to be used by hook scripts in version-control
+repositories, allowing them to send commit notifications to project
+IRC channels. A hook script, irkerhook.py, supporting git, hg, and
+Subversion is included in the distribution; see the install.adoc file
+for installation instructions.
+
+The advantage of using this daemon over individual scripted sends
+is that it can maintain connection state for multiple channels,
+avoiding obnoxious join/leave spam.
+
+The file install.adoc describes how to install the software safely, so
+it can't be used as a spam conduit.
+
+Please read the files security.adoc and hacking.adoc before modifying
+this code.

+= Hacker's Guide to irker =
+
+== Design philosopy ==
+
+Points to you if some of this seems familiar from GPSD...
+
+=== Keep mechanism and policy separate ===
+
+Mechanism goes in irkerd. Policy goes in irkerhook.py
+
+irkerd is intended to be super-simple and completely indifferent to
+what content passes through it. It doesn't know, in any sense, that
+the use-case it was designed for is broadcasting notifications from
+version control systems. irkerhook.py is the part that knows about how
+to mine data from repositories and sets the format of notifications.
+
+=== If you think the mechanism needs an option, think again ===
+
+Because irkerhook.py does policy, it takes policy options. Because
+irkerd is pure mechanism, it shouldn't need any. If you think it
+does, you have almost certainly got a bug in your thinking. Fix
+that before you modify code.
+
+=== Never configure what you can autoconfigure ===
+
+Human attention is more expensive than machine time. Humans are
+careless and failure-prone. Therefore, whenever you make a user tell
+your code something the code can deduce for itself, you are
+introducing unnecessary inefficiency and unnecessary failure modes.
+
+This, in particular, is why irkerhook.py doesn't have a repository
+type switch. It can deduce the repo type by looking, so it should.
+
+== Release procedure ==
+
+1. Check for merge requests at the repository.
+
+2. Do 'make pylint' to audit the code.
+
+3. Run irk with a sample message; look at #irker on freenode to verify.
+
+4. Bump the version numbers in irkerd and irkerhook.py
+
+5. Run irkerhook.py -n and verify that the output looks sane.
+
+6. Update the NEWS file
+
+7. git commit -a
+
+8. make release
+
+== Thanks where due ==
+
+Alexander van Gessel (AI0867) <ai0867@gmail.com> contributed the
+Subversion support in irkerhook.py. Since the 1.0 release he has
+kept as close an eye on the code as the author and has fixed at least
+as many bugs.
+
+//W. here causes asciidoc to see this as a list entry.
+W Trevor King <wking@tremily.us> added SSL/TLS support and did
+significant refactoring work.
+
+Daniel Franke <dfoxfranke@gmail.com> performed a security audit of irkerd.
+
+Georg Brandl <georg@python.org> contributed the Mercurial support in
+irkerhook.py and explained how to make Control-C work right.
+
+Laurent Bachelier <laurent@bachelier.name> fixed the Makefile so it
+wouldn't break stuff and wrote the first version of the external
+filtering option.
+
+dak180 (name withheld by request) wrote the OS X launchd plist.
+
+Wulf C. Krueger <philantrop@exherbo.org> wrote the systemd
+installation support.
+
+Other people on the freenode #irker channel (Kingpin, fpcfan,
+shadowm, Rick) smoked out bugs in irkerd before they could seriously
+bug anybody.

+= Forge installation instructions =
+
+irker and irkerhook.py are intended to be installed on forge sites
+such as SourceForge, GitHub, GitLab, Gna, and Savannah. This
+file explains the theory of operation, how to install the code,
+and how to test it.
+
+== Prerequisites ==
+
+You should have Python 3 installed. While Python 2 support
+has not yet been removed, it is unmaintained and vulnerable
+to bitrot.
+
+If you just want to use irkerd and/or irkerhook.py,
+you need not bother with the Makefile. It's for building
+the derived versions of the documebtation and rubnning
+validation tools.
+
+If you want to run irkerd using a socket proxy,
+you'll want to do this:
+
+-------------------------------------
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+-------------------------------------
+
+Otherwise the code has no dependencies outside
+the Python standard library.
+
+== Theory of operation ==
+
+irkerhook.py creates JSON notification requests and ships them to
+irkerd's listener socket. irkerd run as a daemon in order to maintain
+all the client state required to post multiple notifications while generating
+a minimum of join/leave messages (which, from the point of view of
+humans watching irkerd's output, are mere spam).
+
+See the security.txt document for a detailed discussion of security
+and DoS vulnerabilities related to irker. The short version: as
+long as your firewall blocks port 6659 and irkerd is running inside
+it, you should be fine.
+
+== Prerequisites ==
+
+You will need either
+
+1. Python at version 2.6 or later, which has JSON built in
+
+2. Python at version no older than 2.4, and a version of the
+ simplejson library installed that it can use. Some newer
+ versions of simplejson discard 2.4 compatibility; 2.0.9
+ is known to work.
+
+== Installing irkerd ==
+
+irker needs to run constantly, watching for TCP and UDP traffic on
+port 6659. Install it accordingly. It has no config file; you can
+just start it up with no arguments. If you want to see what it's
+doing, give it command-line options -d info for sparse messages and
+-d debug to show all traffic with IRC servers.
+
+You should *not* make irker visible from outside the site firewall, as
+it can be used to spam IRC channels while masking the source address.
+The firewall should block port 6659.
+
+The design of irker assumes the machine on which it is running is also
+inside the firewall, so that repository hooks can reach port 6659.
+
+The file org.catb.irkerd.plist is a Mac OS/X plist that can be
+installed to launch irkerd as a boot-time service on that system.
+
+irker.service is a systemd unit that can run irkerd as a boot-time
+service on systems that support systemd. This is configured to
+run irkerd under a separate user account (irker), so this needs to
+be set up before starting irker, or the unit needs to be modified
+to use a different user.
+
+== Installing irkerhook.py ==
+
+Under git, a call to irkerhook.py should be installed in the update
+hook script of your repo. Under Subversion, the call goes in your
+repo's post-commit script. Under Mercurial there are two different
+ways to install it. See the irkerhook manual page for details; the
+source is irkerhook.xml in this distribution.
+
+SourceForge is a special case: see
+
+https://github.com/AI0867/sf-git-irker-pipeline
+
+for tools and instructions on how to work around its limitations.
+
+== Testing ==
+
+To verify that your repo produces well-formed JSON notifications,
+you can run irkerhook.py in the repo directory using the -n switch,
+which emits JSON to standard output rather than attempting to ship
+to an irkerd instance.
+
+Then, start irkerd and call irkerhook.py while watching the freenode
+#commits channel.
+
+The 'irk' script is a little test tool that takes two arguments,
+a channel and a message, and does what you'd expect.
+
+If you need help, there's a project chat channel at
+
+ irc://chat.freenode.net/#irker
+
+== Read-only access ==
+
+If, for whatever reason, you can't modify the hook scripts in your
+repository, there is still hope. There's a poller daemon that can
+watch activity in a Subversion repository and ship notifications via
+an irker instance.

+# Sketch of implementation:
+#
+# One Irker object manages multiple IRC sessions. It holds a map of
+# Dispatcher objects, one per (server, port) combination, which are
+# responsible for routing messages to one of any number of Connection
+# objects that do the actual socket conversations. The reason for the
+# Dispatcher layer is that IRC daemons limit the number of channels a
+# client (that is, from the daemon's point of view, a socket) can be
+# joined to, so each session to a server needs a flock of Connection
+# instances each with its own socket.
+#
+# Connections are timed out and removed when either they haven't seen a
+# PING for a while (indicating that the server may be stalled or down)
+# or there has been no message traffic to them for a while, or
+# even if the queue is nonempty but efforts to connect have failed for
+# a long time.
+#
+# There are multiple threads. One accepts incoming traffic from all
+# servers. Each Connection also has a consumer thread and a
+# thread-safe message queue. The program main appends messages to
+# queues as JSON requests are received; the consumer threads try to
+# ship them to servers. When a socket write stalls, it only blocks an
+# individual consumer thread; if it stalls long enough, the session
+# will be timed out. This solves the biggest problem with a
+# single-threaded implementation, which is that you can't count on a
+# single stalled write not hanging all other traffic - you're at the
+# mercy of the length of the buffers in the TCP/IP layer.
+#
+# Message delivery is thus not reliable in the face of network stalls,
+# but this was considered acceptable because IRC (notoriously) has the
+# same problem - there is little point in reliable delivery to a relay
+# that is down or unreliable.
+#
+# This code uses only NICK, JOIN, PART, MODE, PRIVMSG, USER, and QUIT.
+# It is strictly compliant to RFC1459, except for the interpretation and
+# use of the DEAF and CHANLIMIT and (obsolete) MAXCHANNELS features.
+#
+# CHANLIMIT is as described in the Internet RFC draft
+# draft-brocklesby-irc-isupport-03 at <http://www.mirc.com/isupport.html>.
+# The ",isnick" feature is as described in
+# <http://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/uri/draft-mirashi-url-irc-01.txt>.
+
+# Historical note: the IRCClient and IRCServerConnection classes
+# (~270LOC) replace the overweight, overcomplicated 3KLOC mass of
+# irclib code that irker formerly used as a service library. They
+# still look similar to parts of irclib because I contributed to that

+
+<para><application>irkerd</application> is a specialized write-only IRC
+client intended to be used for shipping notification messages to IRC
+channels. The use case in mind when it was designed was broadcasting
+notifications from commit hooks in version-control systems.</para>
+
+<para>The main advantage of relaying through this daemon over
+individual scripted sends from applications is that it can maintain
+connection state for multiple channels, rather than producing obnoxious
+join/leave channel spam on every message.</para>
+
+<para><application>irkerd</application> is a socket server that
+listens on for UDP or TCP packets on port 6659 for textual request
+lines containing JSON objects and terminated by a newline. Each JSON
+object must have two members: "to" specifying a destination or
+destination list, and "privmsg" specifying the message text.
+Examples:
+
+<programlisting>
+{"to":"irc://chat.freenode.net/git-ciabot", "privmsg":"Hello, world!"}
+{"to":["irc://chat.freenode.net/#git-ciabot","irc://chat.freenode.net/#gpsd"],"privmsg":"Multichannel test"}
+{"to":"irc://chat.hypothetical.net:6668/git-ciabot", "privmsg":"Hello, world!"}
+{"to":"ircs://chat.hypothetical.net/git-private?key=topsecret", "privmsg":"Keyed channel test"}
+{"to":"ircs://:topsecret@chat.example.net/git-private", "privmsg":"Password-protected server test"}
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>If the channel part of the URL does not have one of the prefix
+characters <quote>#</quote>, <quote>&amp;</quote>, or
+<quote>+</quote>, a <quote>#</quote> will be prepended to it before
+shipping - <emphasis>unless</emphasis> the channel part has the suffix
+",isnick" (which is unconditionally removed).</para>
+
+<para>The host part of the URL may have a port-number suffix separated by a
+colon, as shown in the third example; otherwise
+<application>irkerd</application> sends plaintext messages to the default
+6667 IRC port of each server, and SSL/TLS messages to 6697.</para>
+
+<para>The password for password-protected servers can be set using the
+usual <quote>[{username}:{password}@]{host}:{port}</quote> defined in
+RFC 3986, as shown in the fifth example. Non-empty URL usernames
+override the default <quote>irker</quote> username.</para>
+
+<para>When the <quote>to</quote> URL uses the <quote>ircs</quote>
+scheme (as shown in the fourth and fifth examples), the connection to
+the IRC server is made via SSL/TLS (vs. a plaintext connection with the
+<quote>irc</quote> scheme). To connect via SSL/TLS with Python 2.x,
+you need to explicitly declare the certificate authority file used to
+verify server certificates. For example, <quote>-c
+/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt</quote>. In Python 3.2 and later,
+you can still set this option to declare a custom CA file, but
+<application>irkerd</application>; if you don't set it
+<application>irkerd</application> will use OpenSSL's default file
+(using Python's
+<quote>ssl.SSLContext.set_default_verify_paths</quote>). In Python
+3.2 and later, <quote>ssl.match_hostname</quote> is used to ensure the
+server certificate belongs to the intended host, as well as being
+signed by a trusted CA.</para>
+
+<para>To join password-protected (mode +k) channels, the channel part of the
+URL may be followed with a query-string indicating the channel key, of the
+form <quote>?secret</quote> or <quote>?key=secret</quote>, where
+<quote>secret</quote> is the channel key.</para>
+
+<para>An empty message is legal and will cause
+<application>irkerd</application> to join or maintain a connection to
+the target channels without actually emitting a message. This may be
+useful for advertising that an instance is up and running, or for
+joining a channel to log its traffic.</para>

+ to <quote>/dev/syslog</quote> with facility "daemon" (if

+ The background-ness of <application>irkerd</application> is
+ determined by comparing the process group id with the process
+ group associated with the terminal attached to stdout (with

+
+<para>An <application>irkerd</application> instance with a

+socket can be visible from commit-hook code but not exposed to the
+outside world. Priming your firewall with blocklists of IP addresses
+known to spew spam is always a good idea.</para>
+
+<para>The absence of any option to set the service port is deliberate.
+If you think you need to do that, you have a problem better solved at
+your firewall.</para>
+
+<para>IRC has a message length limit of 510 bytes; generate your
+privmsg attribute values with appropriate care.</para>
+
+<para>IRC ignores any text after an embedded newline. Be aware that
+<application>irkerd</application> will turn payload strings with
+embedded newlines into multiple IRC sends to avoid having message data
+discarded. </para>

+that will usually work with those systems.</para>
+

+
+<refsect2 id="git"><title>git</title>
+
+<para>Under git, the normal way to invoke this hook (from within the
+update hook) passes it a refname followed by a list of commits. Because
+<command>git rev-list</command> normally lists from most recent to oldest,
+you'll want to use --reverse to make notifications be omitted in chronological
+order. In a normal update script, the invocation should look like this</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+refname=$1
+old=$2
+new=$3
+irkerhook.py --refname=${refname} $(git rev-list --reverse ${old}..${new})
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>except that you'll need an absolute path for irkerhook.py.</para>
+
+<para>For testing purposes and backward compatibility, if you invoke
+<application>irkerhook.py</application> with no arguments (as in a
+post-commit hook) it will behave as though it had been called like
+this:</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+irkerhook.py --refname=refs/heads/master HEAD
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>However, this will not give the right result when you push to
+a non-default branch of a bare repo.</para>
+
+<para>A typical way to install this hook is actually in the
+<filename>post-receive</filename> hook, because it gets all the
+necessary details and will not abort the push on failure. Use the
+following script:</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+#!/bin/sh
+
+echo "sending IRC notification"
+while read old new refname; do
+ irkerhook --refname=${refname} $(git rev-list --reverse ${old}..${new})
+done
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>Preferences may be set in the repo <filename>config</filename>
+file in an [irker] section. Here is an example of what that can look
+like:</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+[irker]
+ project = gpsd
+ color = ANSI
+ channels = irc://chat.freenode.net/gpsd,irc://chat.freenode.net/commits
+</programlisting>
+
+<para> You should not set the "repository" variable (an equivalent
+will be computed). No attempt is made to interpret an
+<filename>irker.conf</filename> file.</para>
+
+<para>The default value of the "project" variable is the basename
+of the repository directory. The default value of the "urlprefix"
+variable is "cgit".</para>
+
+<para>There is one git-specific variable, "revformat", controlling
+the format of the commit identifier in a notification. It
+may have the following values:</para>
+
+<variablelist>
+<varlistentry>
+<term>raw</term>
+<listitem><para>full hex ID of commit</para></listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+<varlistentry>
+<term>short</term>
+<listitem><para>first 12 chars of hex ID</para></listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+<varlistentry>
+<term>describe</term>
+<listitem><para>describe relative to last tag, falling back to short</para></listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+</variablelist>
+
+<para>The default is 'describe'.</para>
+</refsect2>
+
+<refsect2 id="svn"><title>Subversion</title>
+
+<para>Under Subversion, <application>irkerhook.py</application>
+accepts a --repository option with value (the absolute pathname of the
+Subversion repository) and a commit argument (the numeric revision level of
+the commit). The defaults are the current working directory and HEAD,
+respectively.</para>
+
+<para>Note, however, that you <emphasis>cannot</emphasis> default the
+repository argument inside a Subversion post-commit hook; this is
+because of a limitation of Subversion, which is that getting the
+current directory is not reliable inside these hooks. Instead, the
+values must be the two arguments that Subversion passes to that hook
+as arguments. Thus, a typical invocation in the post-commit script
+will look like this:</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+REPO=$1
+REV=$2
+irkerhook.py --repository=$REPO $REV
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>Other --variable=value settings may also be
+given on the command line, and will override any settings in an
+<filename>irker.conf</filename> file.</para>
+
+<para>The default for the project variable is the basename of the
+repository. The default value of the "urlprefix" variable is
+"viewcvs".</para>
+
+<para>If an <filename>irker.conf</filename> file exists in the repository
+root directory (not the checkout directory but where internals such as the
+"format" file live) the hook will interpret variable settings from it. Here
+is an example of what such a file might look like:</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+# irkerhook variable settings for the irker project
+project = irker
+channels = irc://chat.freenode/irker,irc://chat.freenode/commits
+tcp = false
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>Don't set the "repository" or "commit" variables in this file;
+that would have unhappy results.</para>
+
+<para>There are no Subversion-specific variables.</para>
+
+</refsect2>
+
+<refsect2 id="hg"><title>Mercurial</title>
+
+<para>Under Mercurial, <application>irkerhook.py</application> can be
+invoked in two ways: either as a Python hook (preferred) or as a
+script.</para>
+
+<para>To call it as a Python hook, add the collowing to the
+"commit" or "incoming" hook declaration in your Mercurial
+repository:</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+[hooks]
+ incoming.irker = python:/path/to/irkerhook.py:hg_hook
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>When called as a script, the hook accepts a --repository option
+with value (the absolute pathname of the Mercurial repository) and can
+take a commit argument (the Mercurial hash ID of the commit or a
+reference to it). The default for the repository argument is the
+current directory. The default commit argument is '-1', designating
+the current tip commit.</para>
+
+<para>As for git, in both cases all variables may be set in the repo
+<filename>hgrc</filename> file in an [irker] section. Command-line
+variable=value arguments are accepted but not required for script
+invocation. No attempt is made to interpret an
+<filename>irker.conf</filename> file.</para>
+
+<para>The default value of the "project" variable is the basename
+of the repository directory. The default value of the "urlprefix"
+variable is the value of the "web.baseurl" config value, if it
+exists.</para>
+
+</refsect2>
+
+<refsect2 id="filter"><title>Filtering</title>
+
+<para>It is possible to filter commits before sending them to
+<application>irkerd</application>.</para>
+
+<para>You have to specify the <option>filtercmd</option> option, which
+will be the command <application>irkerhook.py</application> will
+run. This command should accept one arguments, which is a JSON
+representation of commit and extractor metadata (including the
+channels variable). The command should emit to standard output a JSON
+representation of (possibly altered) metadata.</para>
+
+<para>Below is an example filter:</para>
+
+<programlisting>

+= Security analysis of irker =
+
+This is an analysis of security and DoS vulnerabilities associated
+with irker, exploring and explaining certain design choices. Much of
+it derives from a code audit and report by Daniel Franke.
+
+== Assumptions and Goals ==
+
+We begin by stating some assumptions about how irker will be deployed,
+and articulating a set of security goals.
+
+Communication flow in an irker deployment will look like this:
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Committers
+ |
+ |
+ Version-control repositories
+ |
+ |
+ irkerhook.py
+ |
+ |
+ irkerd
+ |
+ |
+ IRC servers
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Here are our assumptions:
+
+1. The repositories are hosted on a public forge sites such as
+SourceForge, GitHub, Gitorious, Savannah, or Gna and must be
+accessible to untrusted users.
+
+2. Repository project owners can set properties on their repositories
+(including but not limited to irker.*), and may be able to set custom
+post-commit hooks which can execute arbitrary code on the repository
+server. In particular, these people my be able to modify the local
+copy of irkerhook.py.
+
+3. The machine which hosts irkerd has the same owner as the machine which
+hosts the the repo; these machines are possibly but not necessarily
+one and the same.
+
+4. The network is protected by a perimeter firewall, and only a
+trusted group is able to emit arbitrary packets from inside the
+perimeter; committers are not necessarily part of this group.
+
+5. irkerd communicates with IRC servers over the open internet,
+and an IRC server's administrator is assumed to hold no position of
+trust with any other party.
+
+We can, accordingly, identify the following groups of security
+principals:
+
+A. irker administrators.
+B. Project committers.
+C. Project owners
+D. IRC server administrators.
+E. Other people on irker's internal network.
+F. irkerd-IRC men-in-the-middle (i.e. people who control the network path
+ between irkerd and the IRC server).
+G. Random people on the internet.
+
+Our security goals for irker can be enumerated as follows:
+
+* Control: We don't want anyone outside group A gaining control of
+ the machines which host irkerd or the git repos.
+
+* Availability: Only group A should be able to to deny or degrade
+ irkerd's ability to receive commit messages and relay them to the
+ IRC server. We recognize and accept as inevitable that MITMs (groups
+ E and F) can do this too (by ARP spoofing, cable-cutting, etc.).
+ But, in particular, we would like irker-mediated services to be
+ resilient against DoS (denial of service) attacks.
+
+* Authentication/integrity: Notifications should be truthful, i.e.,
+ commit messages sent to IRC channels should actually reflect that a
+ corresponding commit has taken place. We accept that groups A, C,
+ D, and E can violate this property.
+
+* Secrecy: irker shouldn't aid spammers (group G) in harvesting
+ committers' email addresses.
+
+* Auditability: If people abuse irkerd, we want to be able to identify
+ the abusive account or IP address.
+
+== Control Issues ==
+
+We have audited the irker and irkerhook.py code for exploitable
+vulnerabilities. We have not found any in the code itself, and the
+use of Python gives us confidence in the absence of large classes of errors
+(such as buffer overruns) that afflict C programs.
+
+However, the fact that irkerhook.py relies on external binaries to
+mine data out of its repository opens up a well-known set of
+vulnerabilities if a malicious user is able to insert binaries in a
+carelessly-set execution path. Normal precautions against this should
+be taken.
+
+== Availability ==
+
+=== Solved problems ===
+
+When the original implementation of irkerd saw a nick collision it
+generated new nicks in a predictable sequence. A malicious IRC user
+could have continuously changed his own nick to the next one that
+irkerd is going to try. Some randomness has been added to nick
+generation to prevent this.
+
+=== Unsolved problems ===
+
+DoS attacks on any networked application can never completely
+prevented, only mitigated by forcing attackers to invest more
+resources. Here we consider the easiest attack paths against irker,
+and possible countermeasures.
+
+irker handles each connection to a particular IRC server in a separate
+thread - actually, due to server limits on open channels per
+connection, there may be multiple sessions per server. This may not
+scale well, especially on 32-bit architectures.
+
+Thread instance overhead, combined with the lack of any restriction on
+how many URLs can appear in the 'to' list, is a DoS vulnerability. If
+a repository's properties specify that notifications should go to more
+than about 500 unique hostnames, then on 32-bit architectures we'll
+hit the 4GB cap on virtual memory (even while the resident set size
+remains small).
+
+Another ceiling to watch out for is the ulimit on file descriptors,
+which defaults to 1024 on many Linux systems but can safely be set
+much larger. Each connection instance costs a file descriptor.
+
+We consider some possible ways of addressing the problem:
+
+1. Limit the number of URLs in a request. Pretty painless - it will
+be very rare that anyone wants to specify a larger set than a project
+channel plus freenode #commits - but also ineffective. A malicious
+hook could achieve DoS simply by spamming lots of requests.
+
+2. Limit the total number of requests than can be queued. Completely
+ineffective - just sets a target for the DoS attack.
+
+3. Limit the number of requests that can be queued by source IP address.
+This might be worth doing; it would stymie a single-source DoS attack through
+a publicly-exposed irkerd, though not a DDoS by a botnet. But there isn't
+a lot of win here for a properly installed irker (e.g. behind a firewall),
+which is typically going to get all its requests from a single repo host
+anyway.
+
+4. Rate-limit requests by source IP address - that is, after any request
+discard additional ones during some timeout period. Again, good for
+stopping a single-source DoS against an exposed irker, won't stop a
+DDoS. The real problem though, is that any such rate limit might interfere
+with legitimate high-volume use by a very active repo site.
+
+After this we appear to have run out of easy options, as source IP address
+is the only thing irkerd can see that an attacker can't spoof.
+
+We mitigate some availability risks by reaping old sessions when we're
+near resource limits. An ordinary DoS attack would then be prevented
+from completely blocking all message traffic; the cost would be a
+whole lot of join/leave spam due to connection churn.
+
+== Authentication/Integrity ==
+
+One way to help prevent DoS attacks would be in-band authentication -
+requiring irkerd submitters to present a credential along with each
+message submission. In principle this, if it existed, could also be used
+to verify that a submitter is authorized to issue notifications with
+respect to a given project.
+
+We rejected this approach. The design goal for irker was to make
+submissions fast, cheap, and stateless; baking an authentication
+system directly into the irkerd codebase would have conflicted with
+these objectives, not to mention probably becoming the camel's nose
+for a godawful amount of code bloat.
+
+The deployment advice in the installation instructions assumes that
+irkerd submitters are "authenticated" by being inside a firewall - that is,
+mesages are issued from an intranet and it can be trusted that anyone
+issuing messages from within a given intranet is authorized to do so.
+This fits the assumption that irker instances will run on forge sites
+receiving requests from instances of irkerhook.py.
+
+One larger issue (not unique to irker) is that because of the
+insecured nature of IRC it is essentially impossible to secure
+#commits against commit notifications that are either garbled by
+software errors and misconfigurations or maliciously crafted to
+confuse anyone attempting to gather statistics from that channel. The
+lesson here is that IRC monitoring isn't a good method for that
+purpose; going direct to the repositories via a toolkit such as Ohloh
+is a far better idea.
+
+When this analysis was originally written, we recommended using spiped
+or stunnel to solve the problem of passing notifications from irkerd
+to IRC servers over a potentially hostile network that might interfere
+with them. Later, SSL/TLS support proved easy to add and is now in
+irkerd itself.
+
+== Secrecy ==
+
+irkerd has no inherent secrecy risks.
+
+The distributed version of irkerhook.py removes the host part of
+author addresses specifically in order to prevent address harvesting
+from the notifications.
+
+== Auditability ==
+
+We previously noted that source IP address is the only thing irker can
+see that an attacker can't spoof. This makes auditability difficult
+unless we impose conventions on the notifications passing though it.
+
+The irkerhook.py that we ship inherits an auditability property from
+the CIA service it was designed to replace: the first field of every
+notification (terminated by a colon) is the name of the issuing
+project. The only other competitor to replace CIA known to us
+(kgb_bot) shares this property.
+
+In the general case we cannot guarantee this property against
+groups A and F.
+
+== Risks relative to centralized services ==
+
+irker and irkerhook.py were written as a replacement for the
+now-defunct CIA notification service. The author has written
+a critique of that service: "CIA and the perils of overengineering"
+at <http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=4540>. It is thus worth considering how
+a risk assessment of CIA compares to this one.
+
+The principal advantages of CIA from a security point of view were (a)
+it provided a single point at which spam filtering and source blocking
+could be done with benefit to all projects using the service, and (b)
+since it had to have a database anyway for routing messages to project
+channels, the incremental overhead for an authentication feature would
+have been relatively low.
+
+As a matter of fact rather than theory CIA never fully exploited
+either possibility. Anyone could create a CIA project entry with
+fanout to any desired set of IRC channels. Notifications were not
+authenticated, so anyone could masquerade as a member of any project.
+The only check on abuse was human intervention to source-block
+spammers, and this was by no means completely effective - spam shipped
+via CIA was occasionally seen on on the freenode #commits channel.
+
+The principal security disadvantage of CIA was that it meant the
+entire notification system was subject to single-point failure due
+to software or hosting failures on cia.vc, or to DoS attacks
+against the server. While there is no evidence that the site
+was ever deliberately DoSed, failures were sufficiently common
+that a half-hearted DoS attack might not have been even noticed.
+
+Despite the absence of authentication, irker instances on
+properly firewalled intranets do not obviously pose additional
+spamming risks beyond those incurred by the CIA service. The
+overall robustness of the notification system as a whole should
+be greatly improved.
+
+== Conclusions ==
+
+The security and DoS issues irker has are not readily addressable by
+changing the irker codebase itself, short of a complete (much more
+complex and heavyweight) redesign. They are largely implicit risks of
+its operating environment and must be managed by properly controlling
+access to irker instances.
+
