There is one or two, though there is a lot of the old-boy network in the
underground as well. Im not really in a position to ask for applications
to the security list as yet but when people get their act up and running
that might change.

Dont waste your time. To do anything like that you'd have to run a server plus
be on the channel anyway so essentially it's impossible to listen in. Messages
arent broadcast, rather they go via the direct route to the channel occupants.
You cant sit out there on the fringe and watch. Plus hacked servers get
noticed really fast and their links are dropped.

IRC is a good information dissemination tool, most of the actives use it to
keep up to date. It's also a good tracking tool as well if you want to look
at it from another side.
