| | Yahoo has added Yahoo Chat to Yahoo Mail. In other words when you are browsing your e-mails, and if some of your contacts are online you can chat with them.
You are immediatly signed on yahoo chat, when your yahoo mail turns on. And in the left panel, next to contacts it says 0 online or 3 online, depends on how many of your contacts or online.
Then you can just put your mouse over where it says how many of your contacts are online, click and you can pick with who you want to chat with.
It is pretty amazing, and I think that Yahoo Mail is getting better and better. 
Yahoo Mail is like Microsoft Outlook, except for free. An amazing e-mail provider!  |

I like Yahoo, but the chat thing I don't really find useful since I use AIM.

Another useless innovation IMHO and it's very similar to GMail's GTalk offer. However, there are those who would actually use it. I prefer a stand-alone web messenger like the MSN Web Messenger. Plus, they already have a stand-alone Web Messenger, so I was thinking ... "why bother?" xboxrulz

I suppose that I am in a unique position where this is a very bad thing for me. I like to check my Yahoo! Mail from work but when I switched to the new layout it tries to sign me into Messenger automatically. This presents a problem for me as mail is allowed at work but any chat software is not. Every time my browser tries to sign into Messenger the request is stopped by the firewall. This might not seem like a big deal but my network administrators are on the VERY strict side and each time the firewall blocks something a log entry is made. Enough log entries and you get called to the principal’s office to get paddled. I don’t know about your but I don’t like the principal’s office.

I personally don't like the integrated chat either. Gmail has the same thing and I don't like using it from there as well. Those who know me, know that I use an all-in-one instant messaging program like Trillian. All my IM needs are there

The mail interface doesn't automatically sign into your install Yahoo! Messenger if you don't have it installed. It allows you to web message people within the interface. I have Yahoo! Mail since my ISP uses Yahoo!'s servers for their email services. xboxrulz

I have tried the new additional feature, but I did not feel too satisfied. I prefer a flash chat room with radio and video talk. Any one here know the website www.shanliao.com chat room?

I dont like yahoo messenger chat since their network seems to be so slow. I dont know how to go into multiple channels and other options. I usually get Indian people over at our regional areas and sometimes it is just too slow and annoying. I am still a traditional MIRC chat user and Messenger/Chat really does not work out quite fine.

Yahoo! Messenger Talking To Google Talk?
(7) While Yahoo! was off fighting Microsoft, they made some deals with Google to put a slightly
tainted taste into the merger deal. The most notable one was an ad revenue “trial” where Google
would serve the ads on Yahoo! pages in return for a very favorable share of the profit. Over
the past week it appears that the trials were very successful and Yahoo! has agreed to a more
permanent deal with Google that would continue the deal, pending any anti-trust issues. Mixed up in
this agreement is a paragraph that indicates future interoperability between the two IM....

Yahoo! May Add Openid Support
(1) An article from Security Focus (http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/665) states that Yahoo! is
considering adding support for OpenID (http://openid.net/). This would add Yahoo! to the
growing number of sites that are supporting the open source effort. There is no mention of
Yahoo! Messenger but I would guess that it will not be supported immediately by the desktop
client. For those who have not heard of OpenID I would suggest doing some research. It promises to
get rid of the hundreds (perhaps thousands for some) of separate website passwords. You could e....

Tapping Yahoo! Messenger Phone Conversations
(4) The latest post on the official Yahoo! Messenger blog appears to be out of place to me
(http://www.ymessengerblog.com/blog/2008/01/04/recording-yahoo-messenger-calls/). It is not part of
the usual suspects of promising unneeded features or unabashed promotion of Messenger. Instead it
is a fairly useful commentary on how to record a Messenger phone session using third party
applications. The Yahoo! Messenger blog references a New York Times article

Yahoo! Messenger 9 Beta Preliminary Review
(13) I have been using the latest version of Yahoo! Messenger for over two weeks now and I would like
to give a quick review of it. Overall this is not a major change from what I know as Messenger. As
it has been said before, this is evolutionary not revolutionary. From what I can see there are no
new features (at least none that I would use), the user interface (UI) is prettier, and it looks
like there have been some bug fixes; that’s it. Under the hood there are some things to note.
The current version of the YSMG protocol with version 8 is 15 and Messenger 9 has....

Messenger Mail Bug?
(2) Over the past few days (It is September 23, 2007 now) I have noticed what appears to be a bug in
Yahoo! Messenger concerning unread mail. No matter if there are unread messages or not,
Messenger always reports new mail. I have even gone through the trouble of deleting EVERYTHING from
my mail account and it still pops up. The same behavior happens on Yahelite and Pidgen so it is a
server side bug. Yahoo! has been upgrading their server so I would expect that this is a side
effect of some of the upgrades. Of course this could be confined to me so let me know i....
“discovr” New Friend With Yahoo! Messenger
(2) The latest blog post from the Yahoo! Messenger development teams is about Discovr, a proposed
new way of sharing Messenger contacts. As is stands Messenger is a closed social community. It is
very hard to discover new buddies unless you start trolling around the chat rooms or have a buddy in
real life. Discovr is a method to make Messenger more like Facebook or Myspace where everyone knows
who your friends are. Discovr came from Hack Days, a common occurrence at Yahoo! that
encourages different departments to throw out new ideas. (To think Yahoo! actuall....
Captchas + Yahoo! Chat = No Bots (for Now)
(15) Just in case you haven’t been keeping up with Yahoo! Chat, it looks like a new sheriff is in
town (http://blog.messenger.yahoo.com/blog/2007/08/29/new-entry-process-for-chat-rooms/). Just
before the Labor Day weekend Yahoo! started making users enter a captcha before they could enter
a chat room. This could possibly mean that the chat rooms will be bot free for the time being. My
first impression of the system was not that bad. I logged in with Yahelite and was quickly prompted
to enter the captcha in a separate dialogue box. I do have to admit that the proc....

Yahoo! Chat Room Survey
(1) Back in May Yahoo! swore that the chat room problems were going to be fixed. Again this past
month they said the same thing. This is a survey to see if anyone has experienced better results,
specifically within the past week. Personally I started having real problems starting at the
beginning of the year. The porn bots and booters were always there so I never considered them to be
a problem. I use YahElite to chat so most of the garbage is filtered out anyway. My big complaint
is with not being able to get into a chat room at all. When I go to sign in there is....
I Would Hope Yahoo! Would Get A Clue

out there that have the same problem and just didn’t say anything. For every 1 compliment there are
50 other people out there that feel the same way but just didn’t say anything. I have to admit that
I am the same way. How many times have you gone through your day and thoug....

The State Of Yahoo! Chats
(1) An interesting post slipped through on Friday from the Official Messenger Blog
(http://blog.messenger.yahoo.com/). This is one of the few posts that has some meat to it and it
basically outlines what the future of Yahoo! chat rooms are (the title is “Chat rooms: State of
the Union”, I like it). According to Yahoo!, the entire backend of the servers has been rebuilt
from the ground up. Hopefully they also incorporated security into their software life cycle which
would make many of the common problems disappear. There is also a war against bots, and a MAC plat....
Yahoo Mail Going Unlimited
(24) Yahoo is expanding its offer of unlimited e-mail storage worldwide.Yahoo! Mail has begun its

originally launched in 1997 with 4MB of storage. The mail app was an outgrowth of Yahoo's
acquisition of Four11 Corporation, which owned an app known as RocketMail. Both new and existing
Yahoo! Mail users will receive an unlimited amount of free e-mail storage. The service upg....
New Yahoo! Web Messenger
(12) Today Yahoo! announced a whole new way to communicate using Messenger. It’s the “all-new
Web-based Yahoo! Instant Messenger.” Ohh wait a minute, wasn’t there already a web version of
Yahoo! Messenger? Despite the fact that the official press release
(http://yodel.yahoo.com/2007/05/02/yahoo-messenger-hold-the-download) makes this out to be something
completely new, a web version of Messenger has been around for years. I of course will be the first
to admit that the old version was so bad that I would like to forget about it too. With the bad
taste of my p....
Unable To Log Into Yahoo! Chat?

http://www.winbeta.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=8809 To be honest I am kinda scared. When a

something else is going to change. Maybe this is another protocol change or something specific to

days. QUOTE Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Messenger. We understand that you are unable

Yahoo! Protocol: Part 19 - Conclusion
(0) Throughout this tutorial the main objectives has been covered. Part 12 describes the exact packet
structure generated by the shared files boot. Part 15 shows that it is possible to write a booter
from the ground up only using information gathered through a network sniffer. Parts 16-18 shows that
a booter performs its work by creating a timing fault that in turn cases the stack to be corrupted
and an access violation generated. Part 18 also explores why injection of arbitrary code is not
possible using current booter technology. In my closing opinion, I believe that Yah....
Yahoo! Protocol: Part 18 - Arbitrary Code Execution
(0) The holy grail of any exploit is to be able to run arbitrarily injected code. If code from the
attacker can be run on the target system, in most cases the attacker just gained full control of the
target system. An attacker can inject previously tested shellcode onto the victim machine and at the
very least spawn a command prompt. The primary focus of this paper is to take the act of booting
from annoying DoS attacks to much more sophisticated and dangerous remote code execution attacks.
To analyze and follow the execution of Yahoo! Messenger, break points and analys....
Yahoo! Protocol: Part 17 - Crash
(0) The results from a crash can be simply summarized in the following statement: “Access violation when

particular program. In this case, Yahoo! Messenger tried to read the memory address 00730079.

(4) For whatever reason, certain users feel the need to harass other citizens of the internet. The
following is a typical scenario of what may cause a Yahoo! booter to be used. Bob is an
average computer user that enjoys talking to his friends over Yahoo! Messenger. One day, Bob
goes into a Yahoo! chat room to discuss the topics of the day. After several minutes of
intellectual discussion with members of the chat room, Jane joins the room. From the very
beginning, it is apparent that Jane is in the room to cause trouble and starts a flame war. Bob and
Jane ....
Yahoo! Messenger Protocol Tutorial - Part 2

shape in its infancy with one of the first Internet applications, email. While the Internet was
still ARPANET and with only four links, the first email message was sent by Ray Tomlinson in 1971.
The first message consisted of the text “Testing 1-2-3” and did not contain any of th....
