And after all the work that went into getting DCO Chat on jabber just to find out that IRC has been available in mission-critical roles since the early 90's.

Wasn't someone deploying a chat client with some language translation?

[Chaim Krause]

From what I have been told over the years is that IRC chat has been used for many many years for many things. And every time I hear one of those stories, inevitably it is followed by talk that IRC is not allowed on Army networks and is not to be used. That is inevitably followed by Commander XXXXX said he wanted comms and he didn't care what it took and IRC was put on the network and used.

I repeat again what I keep saying over and over again. The worst cyber enemy Army IT has is Army policy makers that don't understand IT, to include the people in charge of Army IT.

[Martin Stadtler]

Principles of patrolling, stick to the fundamentals. The more high
speed the TTP the higher likelihood something is going to go wrong, it
applies to IT just as much as patrolling. The one thing that is
concerning is security, either encrypt the network (multiple options),
or implement otr. Just keep it simple.

[Matthew]

Not surprised at all. I know a lot of projects use IRC, I switched ours from IRC to using a more secure IM client/server, with encryption.
