psybnc is a program to make a bridge between an user (perhaps the
cracker), and an IRC server. It's often used to hide own ip on public
networks, expecially IRCnet. Other programs installed very often by a
cracker could be iroffer (to share files on IRC), and eggdrop (an IRC
bot). Some rootkits has some of them included.
