If you still use mIRC, upgrade to 7.55 due to a remote code exploitation CVE

why does irssi leak your hostname and username by default?

I think you don't understand how irc works

lots of irc networks don't apply masks by default. it "leaks your ip" by design. still more usable than discord in my opinion.

I use chatango :)

Can someone give me a quick rundown on running an IRC server?

fpbp

super ancient protocol with tons of vulnerabilities that require various clients also with tons of vulnerabilties

>protocol with tons of vulnerabilities
What vulnerabilities can a protocol for exchanging text even have?
The only protocols I can even conceive of having vulnerabilities are things like cryptographic key exchanges where a flaw in the spec leads to secrecy leakage.

google 'exploits 101'

So you have no idea either then.
