DISCLAIMER

*************************************************************************************************

The following document is just my interpretation of the  yahoo protocol.it is based on a lot of assumptions all of which might not be right. The new  yahoo protocol is really right up there when it comes to security unlike the previous versions .Also i do not expect people to stop using the original  yahoo messenger and use a simple clone which just about sends and receives messages.Yahoo has added a whole range of features to it's messenger like IM Environments,voice chat and webcam support which are pretty cool and pretty tough to replicate(maybe i'llgive it a shot when i got loads of free time!!!).And finally i expect people who might use this protocol info to not harm anybody by making booters and bombers,that's really an awful waste of technology besides serving no purpose. And last but not the least ,thank  yahoo for providing a nice tool for instant communication

*************************************************************************************************

The basic purpose of writing this document is that people should know what's actually happening when they use the  yahoo messenger and help them in making their own client.There is hardly any if not any documentation available on the internet concerning the YMSG ptotocol . 


The first step involved in any messenger application is logging into the messenger server and then retrieving the friends list..The  yahoo messenger connects to the  yahoo server(cs. yahoo.com) on port 5050.Let us first look at logging into the  yahoo server

We will connect to the  yahoo messenger server scs. yahoo.com on port 5050

As always the most difficult part to figure out in any messenger protocol is the login encryption. 

Now let us start logging into the  yahoo messenger server .We send the following data to the messenger server to start the login process

This is the data sent when viewed through a port monitor
