Nuke protection...hmmm
Nukes work ONLY for windows machines...the way they work is they take
advantage of the port (131 I think) and give you the blue screen of death.
Well the way linux is made you don't have to worry about nukes because
simply the port 131 (If I am right) does not have the problem it did in
windows.
So no worries,
Nick

I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I know what it can do :(
When you enter a channel on IRC your IP is there for everyone to see it.
There
are loads of "Nuke" programs for Windoze and all someone has to do is enter
your IP and click send or "Kill IP". After a few seconds the victim IP is
dead, i.e your modem hangs up.
There was a program called NukeNabber for Windows. Also, Lockdown2000
(http://www.lockdown200.com).
These progs basically intecept the nuke and disable the port.
I think they get you by sending data packets that get bigger and biger
untill
your connection is lost...
