Yahoo Restored in Some IM Clients

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the breathe-freely dept.

Sparks23 writes "Third-party instant messaging clients have begun to reconnect to Yahoo. While the authorization scheme has not been completely decoded -- expect some bumps -- Gaim and Trillian have both partially restored connectivity. Gaim has the new authorization scheme in CVS and their new 0.70 release, and Cerulean has made a beta patch available for Trillian Pro 2.0; consider both patches 'beta' for the moment."

    I love internet chat sessions. I snoop on them with ethereal at every opportunity.

  2. "Cracking" protocoles and DMCA? by file-exists-p · · Score: 4, Funny

    From http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ Our friends over at Cerulean Studios managed to break my speed record at cracking Yahoo authentication schemes with an impressive feat of hackery.

    Can't Yahoo use the DMCA to send all those people to Guantanamo?
