What is IRCrack and how do I use it?
IRCrack is a program using a bruteforce approach to entering passworded IRC channels.  Simply feed it some
connection information, a wordlist, and click "Begin Attack".  You might want to minimize the program at this point,
this could take awhile.  When the password has been discovered, the status field (at the bottom of the program) will
display it in red text.

How do I make a wordlist?
There are a lot of programs out there that make wordlists.  You can also make them yourself.  The important thing,
however, is that the wordlist is formatted properly for IRCrack.  Your wordlist should consist of one word per line, with each
line concluding with a carriage return (enter), like this

firstword
secondword
thirdword
fourthword

I don't think that you can load a wordlist with over 30,000 entries.  This will be repaired/documented in future
versions.  After all, this is the alpha release of the program :-).

What connection information do I need to get IRCracking?
Well, you'll need:

The name of the IRC server hosting the target channel (either DNS name or IP)
The nick you'd like IRCrack to use.
The Ident you'd like IRCrack to use.
The port of the IRC server to connect to (usually 6667)
The name (including the "#") of the channel to IRCrack
