Introduction
When I wrote the original paper
that the YMSG tutorials are based off of, I needed a
way to actually connect to the Yahoo! servers.
The Yahoo! Trainer is both a proof of concept that
is it possible to make your own Messenger client and
a research platform. This version has the
following features:
-
Log into the Yahoo!
Messenger servers
-
Show the buddy list
-
Basic instant messaging
-
A debug window that shows
every byte that is going in and out
-
Ability to individually
execute each phase of the login process
-
Limited booter code
execution
First and foremost this was
used as a research platform. The code done
what it was supposed to do but not much more.
After much deliberation I decided to scrap the whole
program and start from scratch with the
YCC Trainer which has
better coding standards but fewer features for right
now. Please feel free to poke around and see
what you can learn from the Yahoo! Trainer.
