Rizon

Rizon

Rizon is a large Internet Relay Chat (IRC) network. Rizon has an average of around 20,000 users online.

Rizon ircd

Rizon currently uses Plexus ircd. Plexus was coded specifically with Rizon in mind, based on hybrid ircd. Plexus is not exclusive to Rizon though. The ircd is used by other, smaller networks.

Version 1.x and 2.x were originally coded by static & peer.Version 3.x was rewritten by ThaPrince and now worked on by the Rizon Dev Team.

History

In early 2004, mIRCX and Aniverse IRC networks were DDoS'd and forced to shut down operations permanently (Aniverse operates again now). This caused approximately 8,000-10,000 irc users of various anime fansubbing channels to migrate to Rizon. This move forced Rizon to increase number of connected servers, as well as become a target for more DDoS attacks.

Rizon is speculated to be the ones who initiated the attacks on mIRCX in order to get more users. They have had numerous xdcc bots linked with DDoS networks and many of their administrators were linked closely to providing these bots.

ISP bans

Recently Rizon has G-lined (blocked) Türk Telekoms (ttnet) entire range of IPs (*@*.ttnet.net.tr). Rizon staff explained that the action was a result of the halo caused by the spam bots using a range of dynamic IPs. Initial measures that had been placed prior to the ISP-wide g-line such as mandatory ident to connect had proven to be ineffective. Also inquiries to ttnet undertaken by Rizon regarding the spambots were unanswered. Consequently, Rizon staff explain that the kline will stay in place so long as there are spam bots. :"ISP BAN - *ttnet.net.tr":"Sorry, your ISP due to high abuse is no longer welcome on rizon.net":"Please e-mail abuse@ttnet.net.tr for assistance."

DDoS attacks

In June 2007, the founder, Jason "Nessun" Downey [http://www.spamsuite.com/book/export/html/150 plead guilty] in a US Federal court of one count involving operating botnets and launching distributed denial of service attacks 'From on or about June 18, 2004 to on or about September 5, 2004' against un-named victims. According to a United States Department of Justice, "Downey faces up to 24 months’ imprisonment and a fine of up to $40,000. Downey will also be required to make full restitution to the victim computer owners in the amount of $ 21,110 to pay for the costs associated with repairing the consequences of the damage." He was sentenced to a year in prison. [ [http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;455396109;pp;2 True crime: The botnet barons] ]
