<p>It's available from <ahref="http://supybot.sf.net/">SourceForge</a>, Debian repositories, Ubuntu repositories and repositories of many other Linux distributions.</p>
<p>I don't have example command for this, but it happens by nesting "format cut" and "misc tell".</p>
<p>What does this mean? Anyone can tell the bot to ghost someone else on same account, take over a channel by telling the bot to give flags (if it has correct flags), change password of the account and everything else what you do with network services.</p>

<p>This doesn't mean only things like CTCP actions (also known as /me), but known problems with old routers ( FF ? DCC SEND “ff???f??????????????” 0 0 0 ) which make them reconnect to the internet.</p>

<p>The first issue has been also used to take down some of <ahref="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots">Ubuntu IRC bots</a> several times. At least UbotX (I don't remember the number) and meetingology.</p>
<p>Some of them are fixed in git repository, but most people aren't using it.</p>

<p>You can add anticapability for these commands using "owner defaultcapability", but that is only a temporary solution. There can also be other issues.</p>
<p>There are also two active Supybot forks, known as <ahref="https://github.com/ProgVal/Limnoria">Limnoria</a> and <ahref="http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/gribble/index.php?title=Main_Page">Gribble</a>, which are actively developed and have fixed these issues. If you want permanent solution, you should install either of them.</p>
<p>I recommend <ahref="https://github.com/ProgVal/Limnoria">Limnoria</a>, because it seems to be more active (activity of <ahref="http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/gribble/index.php?title=Main_Page">Gribble</a> isn't announced anywhere) and it has additional commands, translations and new plugin called <ahref="https://github.com/ProgVal/Limnoria/tree/master/plugins/PluginDownloader">PluginDownloader</a>, which makes installing of 3rd party plugins easy. Ohloh supports comparing different projescts, <ahref="https://www.ohloh.net/p/compare?project_0=Limnoria&project_1=Gribble%3A+Support+Bottie&project_2=Supybot">here is comparsion of Limnoria, Gribble and Supybot</a>.</p>
<p><strong>If you use Debian/Ubuntu or any Debian based distribution, you can get <ahref="http://builds.progval.net/limnoria/limnoria-master-HEAD.deb">stable version of Limnoria here</a> or <ahref="http://builds.progval.net/limnoria/limnoria-testing-HEAD.deb">testing version here</a>.</strong></p>
<p>The links above should always be the latest version of Limnoria and they are updated daily.</p>

<p><strong>Not recommended as it's not actively developed.</strong></p>
<p>At the time of writing, the most active Supybot fork which includes embedded HTTPd for plugins needing it, supports other languages than English and also runs with Python 3.</p>
<p>The first command installs requirements of Limnoria and the second Limnoria itself. Only Limnoria has requirements.txt file at the moment.</p>
