Please help me to set up blowfish. I loaded the program and edited the file blow.ini by adding the channel that is encrypted and i still see gibberage. Is there a guide in how to do this. I cannot figure it out. Thanks for your help in advance

I don't know what Blowfish is, and you shouldn't assume that anyone else here will either. Since you downloaded blowfish, your best bet for advice on it, is to contact the person that wrote it. Also, I noted that you mentioned an encryption. The only way for encrypted material can be recognized is if it is decrypted first, which is an excellent way of having things go really wrong with your computer.

Unless you know what Blowfish does, and you're willing to chance that it's not going to do anything else, I'd recommend getting rid of it, then checking your system thoroughly for viruses, trojans, malware. adware, spyware, and almost any other kind of *ware that can be thought of.

I confirm blowfish is an encryption system which uses a key to encode and decode all texts.

Yes, Blowfish is an encryption cipher, there are various DLLs which allow it's use in mIRC.

For the records there's absolutely nothing about encryption or decryption something that makes it an 'excellent way of having things go really wrong with your computer'. If you're referring to the $decode() 'exploit', then you might want to take note of a couple of things:
a) $decode() doesn't use encryption/decryption.
b) The exploit is an exploitation of people's stupidity, not of decoding information. If people choose to execute code without being able to see or understand what it does that's their own fault.


Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.
