How safe is IRC, I'm not allowed to use it because my brother and my dad said that it isn't to safe for the network. I was wondering, how safe is IRC?
Using it will reveal your IP address to anyone on the same server as you. That may be what they meant. I'd be really surprised if a protocol that old had inherent security flaws. Just make sure to use a good client, and (as always) don't download random stuff from people you don't know.
