Irssi Setup

This section describes how to install Irssi on GNU/Linux.

If you have recently installed a Linux distribution, check your installed programs to see if Irssi is already installed!

The lastest Irssi version is present in current repositories.

Install the Irssi package:

sudo apt install irssi

You can't make it any more simple.

dnf install irssi

Update your portage tree:

sudo emerge --sync

And install it using

sudo emerge -av irssi

Once installed, type "irssi" from the command prompt.

Install the Irssi package:

sudo pacman -S irssi

Start Irssi and then create a new network:

/network add -nick YourNick -alternate_nick YourNick2 -user YourIdent -realname FakeRealname AnonOps

Add a new server:

/server add -tls -network AnonOps irc.anonops.com 6697

You can now connect:

/connect AnonOps

If you want to add a channel to your autojoin list:

/channel add -auto #channel AnonOps

If you want to automatically identify to NickServ (if you registered your nickname):

/network modify -autosendcmd "^msg NickServ IDENTIFY password;wait -OFTC 2000" AnonOps

You need to start by installing Tor and proxychains (you can ignore this part if you already did and and Tor is started):

sudo apt install tor proxychains4

Next, you need to start Tor:

sudo systemctl start tor

Start Irssi:

proxychains4 -q irssi

Create a new network (replace `YourIdent` by the username you requested):

/network add -nick YourNick -alternate_nick YourNick2 -user YourIdent -realname FakeRealname AnonOpsTor

Add a new server (replace `password` by the password you requested):

/server add -tls -network AnonOpstor anonops4att3rwh3tsh2fhb3suwq6g575r6k36fsrc2ijkj75vcxhhyd.onion 443 password

Finally to connect now:

/connect AnonOpsTor
