BitchX is a free IRC client〔 ("If you're already using Linux, then you have your choice of several (IRC) clients. BitchX is a popular one.")〕 and has been considered to be the most popular ircII-based IRC client. The initial implementation, written by "Trench" and "HappyCrappy", was a script for the IrcII chat client.〔 It was converted to a program in its own right by panasync (Colten Edwards). BitchX 1.1 final was released in 2004. It is written in C and is a TUI application utilizing ncurses. GTK+ toolkit support has been dropped. It works on all Unix-like operating systems, and is distributed under a BSD license. It is originally based on ircII-EPIC〔 and eventually it was merged into the EPIC IRC client. It supports IPv6, multiple servers and SSL and UTF-8 partially. BitchX has frequently been noted to be a popular IRC client for Unix-like systems.〔〔(Review:BitchX (Amiga) ), IRCreviews.org, Retrieved 2009-09-29 ("BitchX is favoured by many more experienced IRC users")〕〔(A Day in the Life of #Apache ), OSDir.com (March 25, 2005), Retrieved 2009-09-29 ("XChat, mIRC, and bitchx are several popular clients")〕〔(How to use IRC guide ), Overclockersclub.com (Dec. 4, 2006), Retrieved 2009-09-29 ("There are many different clients available, some of the more popular ones include BitchX, XChat, Trillian, BeserIRC, Klient ....")〕〔(What about P2P on *nix? ), Broadbandreports.com (Sept. 13, 2002), Retrieved 2009-09-29 ("There are several IRC clients for Linux. Among the best are X-Chat and BitchX.")〕〔(BitchX Configuration Guide ), Linuxhelp.net (last updated Sept. 19, 2003), Retrieved 2009-09-29 ("BitchX is one of the most popular IRC Client available today for *nix systems.")〕 Development of BitchX was on hiatus for several years but is now resuming from a new GitHub project page. The latest official release is version 1.2, and development for the 1.3 future release has begun. BitchX does not support Unicode.〔(BitchX 1.2 Wiki )〕 == Security == It was known that early versions of BitchX were vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack in that they could be caused to crash by passing specially-crafted strings as arguments to certain IRC commands. This was before format string attacks became a well-known class of vulnerability. The previous version of BitchX, released in 2004, has security problems allowing remote IRC servers to execute arbitrary code on the client's machine ((CVE-2007-3360 ), (CVE-2007-4584 )). On April 26, 2009, Slackware removed BitchX from its distribution, citing the numerous unresolved security issues. However these vulnerabilities were fixed in the sources for the 1.2 release. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BitchX」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
