Hi,

I have been looking for an official irc channel for Openwall where
people can ask questions or just idle around on issues pertaining to
JtR, Owl, oss-security and everything Openwall in general. Is there an
#openwall  channel somewhere or for individual projects like #owl? I
have been scouring openwall.com and freenode but I couldn't find
something official. There is #oss-security on freenode but I'm not sure
about it's official status?

I find having an interactive communication channel pretty important on
projects of these size and complexity(thinking Owl and JtR somewhat).
Most of the other security open source projects have some kind of
presence on irc, #bactrack-linux  for Backtrack, #nmap for Nmap or
#metasploit for Metasploit, all on freenode, just to name a few.

A good place for such a channel would be freenode of course and I'm the
first offering to idle on it and answer questions that I can or ask
questions of my own.

Apologies for sending this e-mail to john-users, but there's no other
more appropriate list other then owl-users. If Solar Designer thinks
this question is appropriate for owl-users too, please forward this to
that list too.

I am also hoping that the people reading this list will reply to this
e-mail if they welcome this idea and think such a support channel would
be useful or the opposite.

Thanks,

Shinnok
