A user's hostmask gives their [[IRC Definition: Nick]], their [[IRC Definition: Username]] and their ip or host. It is of the form:
nick!username@host
Hostmasks are used while [[IRC Definition: Ban|banning]] people from [[IRC Channels|channels]]. When banning it is often wise to use wildcards in the hostmask, for example:
/mode #channel +b nick!username@host
Is easy to evade, as they only need to change their nick to be able to rejoin the channel.
/mode #channel +b *!*@host
Is more difficult to evade, as they need to change their host.
/mode #channel +b *!*@*last_part_of_host
Is even harder to evade, as it'll probably force someone to use a different ISP in order to regain access to the channel. However, the wider hostmask you set on a ban, or any other command, the more people it may uninentionally affect. It is, therefore, not recomended to ban *!*@*.
