Hi, I was asked to put a constant irc bot (eggdrop) on my linux server. My concern is that since it interacts directly with the irc, there could be reprecautions like bufferoverflows, etc. also, i saw it may require me to open another port to my system. my question are: 1) what are the areas i should watch out for when securing the thing. and should i even consider putting it on my server. 2) Is there a way to channel all its inter bot communication thru ssh, using some channeling software or some addon?. 3) In the event of a breach, is there a way to restrict its actions in some kind of sandbox, like: using only certain ports, certain directory and no more, etc...
