That is bullshit. SSL on IRC enables you to:
- evade local packet inspection
- ensure no local MITM is performed
- log in to services via a client cert instead of a passphrase

- q3k 13y agoProbably not much. But it's nice to minimize attack surfaces and annoy arpspoofing skids which might be on your LAN.
