A robust IRC server implementation in Java, fully compliant with RFC 1459 and RFC 2812 specifications.

Features

• Multi-channel support with topic management
• Private messaging between users
• Nickname management and collision handling
• Multi-client support with thread-safe operations
• Channel operators and user modes
• MOTD (Message of the Day) support

Technical Implementation

This project demonstrates expertise in:

• Network protocol implementation following RFC standards
• Multi-threaded server architecture
• Socket programming with Java NIO
• Concurrent data structure management
• Command pattern implementation for IRC commands

The server uses a multi-threaded design to handle multiple simultaneous connections efficiently, with proper synchronization to ensure thread safety across shared resources like channels and user lists.
