Hi again,

The FiSH cipher used in FiSHLIM (and other similar plugins for other IRC
clients) is based on Blowfish encryption, not on rot13.

You might want to look at pidgin-encryption
http://pidgin-encrypt.sourceforge.net/ or OTR instead
https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/ as these don't suffer from a lot of the
drawbacks of FiSH
https://github.com/flakes/mirc_fish_10/blob/master/SECURITY.md

Cheers,
Eion
