MSN Conversation Logger

MouseMat2004 · 18 Jan 2009 at 21:08

My mother looks after troubled kids...and since troubled kids have troubled friends she is a little worried about what they get upto on MSN.

Are there any programs that allow you to view MSN conversations? He's on 8.5 as far as I'm aware.

Thanks

Yes. I have a program I think its called msncheckersniffer. You can view any conversations on the same router. It sniffs the packets.

I think you can enable conversation logging in the options?

Thats if you have access to the computer. With the sniffer program you can monitor in real time from another pc on the network

its built into msn mate, under tools, options , messeges, and down the bottom you can choose to save the conversations into my documents.

LOL I don't use it I just tried the demo because I didn't believe it would work. But yeh it means basically anyone on your Uni network could be spying on you.

Certainly weird...I guess amoung other things that's why they say never give out your card details on MSN..

I could be wrong but doesn't this type of attack only work on hubs?

It works on my router. Thats all I know.

2048 bit end-to-end encrypted IM conversations in Pidgin comes in handy once again

Does that require both users to have Pidgin installed? Or is just one machine fine?
