Irssi: is a terminal based IRC client for UNIX systems.
Proxychains: is a tool to force any tcp connections to flow through a proxy ( Socks/HTTP )
Installation
root # emerge -va tor proxychains irssi root # sed -i 's/socks4\t127.0.0.1/socks5\t127.0.0.1/g' /etc/proxychains.conf root # /etc/init.d/tor start
Freenode IRC Server and Tor Hidden Service

A registered nickname on Freenode SASL EXTERNAL Mechanism A Client Certificate
Generating a client certificate and getting fingerprint certificate
root # openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -days 730 -x509 -keyout mynick.key -out mynick.cert -nodes root # cat mynick.cert mynick.key > mynick.pem root # openssl x509 -sha1 -noout -fingerprint -in mynick.pem | sed -e 's/^.*=//;s/://g;y/ABCDEF/abcdef/' The output will be something like: 029d7db1ccc82cd3f8ec50eb293761598f95c9cb
