| 
Mar 11 22:15 UTC 2002 |
I have started to gain an interst in how Aim communicates with the aol
servers. My question is: Is there any program that shows how input on the Aim
window is transferred to the servers?

Probably what you'd need to do is use a "packet sniffer" on the network
traffic from your machine to the Internet. If you are connecting via dialup
on the same machine, you might be able to do this simply with an external
modem and sort of a Y-cable so that another serial port can listen to the
modem port (it's probably still possible to buy "RS-232 breakout" software
for this). Or if you are on a LAN you can get software to listen to the
TCP/IP data, even the stuff coming out of the same machine the software is
running on. I don't know what Windows-based sniffer software is going for
these days, but you can get Linux stuff usually for the trouble of downloading
and figuring it out.

Do you mean to decompile the code of the dll or simply to find it? To find it
there is a ahre ware utility that will show all DLLs in use on your machine.
I don't remember the name but try a google search. For decompiling questions
try asking on the jellyware conf.

What I meant was I wanted to decompile a *.dll file. Idlemon.dll is an aim
file thats being edited by people (or by one person and spread around) that
allows you to talk while appearing to be in a idle state. I just wanted to
decompile the file to see what part of it is being edited. Also, has anyone
used the windows version of nmap? I haven't heard anything about it. later.

The distributor of that DLL file should be able to provide you with a
list of the object classes and methods exposed in that DLL.
Regarding nmap on Windows, I use it regularly in the practice of systems
and network administration for testing purposes. While it has a few
deficiencies (no real concept of UID 0, bizarre behaviour of the Windows
TCP/IP stack, quirks in the implementation of WinPCap, the inability to
scan at localhost), it is very useful. If you first encountered nmap on
a UNIX workstation, be aware that the windows version does not provide a
Motif GUI, so you will be stuck in a DOS/cmd prompt.
