Want to ask you “Is Yahoo Chat safe ?”. Think….
My answer:
well, it depends…
I came to know from my 10+2 friend Maqsood that one can peep into others yahoo chat messages…
Lets start from the networking perspective. As most of you know, any data in network is passed as a packet. Every packet has a destination IP address, source IP address and the message itself.
In this case yahoo chat messages are also transmitted as packets.
Sniffer can be used to monitor the network traffic or packets flowing in the network.
On the net you can find yahoo sniffer which sniffs packets to capture yahoo chat packets.
Now the question is… If you have sniffer running on your PC, sniffer can read only those packets that are coming to your system i.e., only your buddy’s messages. then how come you can get your neighbor’s chat messages?
