A nickname is all that's needed to connect to a server. Following connection, the server performs a reverse-DNS lookup on the user's IP.
Users are divided into operators, who need a username and password for more access, and regular users. Operators have varying levels of privileges, with administrators at the top.
Default ports: 194, 6667, 6660-7000
IRC can support TLS.
You can, also, atttempt to login to the server with a password. The default password for ngIRCd is wealllikedebian.
