FISH IRSSI FOR CHADS


https://github.com/falsovsky/FiSH-irssi


Installing required packages

-   Debian / Ubuntu

    apt-get install build-essential irssi-dev libglib2.0-dev libssl-dev cmake git

-   Archgang

    pacman -S cmake pkg-config glib2 openssl irssi


compiling

1.  git clone https://github.com/falsovsky/FiSH-irssi.git
2.  cd FiSH-irssi
3.  cmake .
4.  make
5.  cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr .
6.  make
7.  make install (last one may or may not be needed)


Running

Just type /load fish in the program. To have fish load at start-up run
echo "load fish" >> /home/username/.irssi/startup

Ran into: fish/core is ABI version 0 but Irssi is version 7, cannot load

TO TEST FISH ENCRYPTION IN APIRC:


/join #fish /setkey 6CRi5rupyd6XfeKjghiLJ3yHHXCQ56EacFNytS



NOTES


Using Blowfish-ECB isn't a perfect method of encryption.

http://blog.bjrn.se/2009/01/proposal-for-better-irc-encryption.html

FiSH encrypts your messages in ECB mode (in other words, in independent
blocks). If the same block appears two times it will be encrypted the
same way both times. https://fishlim.kodafritt.se/
