Official Port For SILC Has Been Assigned IANA has assigned on 06.07.2000 official port for SILC protocol. The port is TCP 706 and the latest release already supports this port.

SILC Server Available For Testing There is SILC server up and running that can be tested. Just give command /server silc.pspt.fi to connect to the server. There may be some action on channel #silc so you might want to give command /join #silc. To get into action just say hello. Note the old server on port 334 is not running anymore. The new server is running on port 706, please update your SILC client.

Developers Wanted For SILC Project SILC Project needs developers who would like to contribute their time, skills and ideas to the project. SILC still has a long road ahead before the first official stable release. We need C coders, technical writers (to write documentation) and web administrator to take over these web pages. Feel free to start narrowing down the TODO list. If You would like to contribute to SILC project please contact me at: priikone@poseidon.pspt.fi

SILC Project Started The Press release: New Open Source project called Secure Internet Live Conferencing (SILC) has been started. Initial development version of the software is available for testing. SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing) is a protocol which provides secure conferencing services in the Internet over insecure channel. SILC is IRC like software although internally they are very different. Biggest similiarity between SILC and IRC is that they both provide conferencing services and that SILC has almost same commands as IRC. Other than that they are nothing alike. Biggest differences are that SILC is secure what IRC is not in any way. The network model is also entirely different compared to IRC. SILC is an open source (or freeware) project and it has been released under the GNU General Public Licence. The SILC is free to use and everyone is free to distribute and change the SILC under the terms of the GNU GPL. While there is no guarantee for the product SILC has been tried make as secure as possible. Developers are needed and everyone is free to contribute their time, skills and ideas for the project.
