IRC daemon · written in Rust

The from-scratch
IRC server.

echoIRCd is a modern IRC daemon, built from the ground up in Rust — full IRCv3, modern TLS, and SASL. No forks. No C. No unsafe. Pair it with echo services, a separate package linked over S2S.

Why echoIRCd

Safe by construction

#![forbid(unsafe_code)] across the whole tree, enforced in CI. Original code — not a fork of anything.

Full IRCv3

server-time, message-tags, account-tag, batch, labeled-response, chathistory, multiline, standard-replies and more.

Modern TLS

Direct TLS and WebSocket, OpenSSL & rustls backends, TLS 1.3 with post-quantum X25519MLKEM768, per-host SNI.

SASL, incl. ECDSA

PLAIN, EXTERNAL, SCRAM-SHA-256, and ECDSA-NIST256P-CHALLENGE — sign a challenge, no password on the wire.

Companion services

echo services is a separate package — NickServ, ChanServ and more — that links to the daemon over S2S. It is not built in.

Anti-abuse built in

A native security engine: connection & nick-flood detection, behavioral/content heuristics, DEFCON, DNSBL/MX screening.
