Services

We offer both the usual services like ChanServ, NickServ and GroupServ, along with some custom services. Official services can be recognized by their hostmask: services.hackint.org.

To get help with a service, message it with the help command. For example with NickServ that is:

/msg NickServ help

NickServ

This service will protect your nickname. Certain access rights to channels or groups might be linked to it.

The most important commands are:

/msg NickServ register <password> <email>

Authenticating
```
/msg NickServ identify <password>
```
While authenticating by password is fundamentally possible, we recommend to either use CertFP or SASL.

ChanServ

Enables registration of channels to secure ownership and enable management of access flags for both users and groups.

Using this service requires a registered account with NickServ.

The most important commands are:
