I sure wouldn’t want the name.I have chatted in the same room sence it opened way back in the mid 90’s,will I should say I have tried.I’m not to sure I wasn’t in the same room as slim.But now that yahoo is all messed up you can’t get in the room,and once you do the booters start lagging the room,and tring to boot me,but as of yet there lame booters don’t work,they just lag me.So after over 12 years of chatting in yahoo I have moved to PalTalk to chat with my friends. I wish there was someway of locking there booter bots,I have a list of around 1000 of them and I can tell you who everyone of them belong to,they come right out in the room and tell you they are doing it.Even knowing who it is there is nothing anyone can do about it.Yahoo needs to step up and start blocking the booters. The booters boot a name and the name sticks in the room and that makes it full even longer. (OWP)
I’ve hung out in Iowa 1 since 1999.Back then you didn’t have to worry about the booting abd cracking going on.Everyone pretty much got along and we had a good time chatting.But now it’s like, why even bother?I’m not one to leave chat because of ppl’s actions but after awhile it gets pretty old.Just another day in the life of yahoo I guess.Lol

My guess is slimnshady247 is referring to chat room drama. In particular it sounds like something a “booter” would say.
One reason why I stopped frequenting the chat rooms. A lot of the users are just f***ed up. It was unbearable for me long before the spam bots became a problem.
Every script kiddie (and there sure seemed to be a ton of ’em) with fantasies of dominance and power tried booting or disrupting a room in some fashion or another. Even among “regulars,” a mere difference of opinion on a topic seems to result in one party trying to boot another, and everything turns into a perpetual script kiddie troll-fest. The disappointing thing is that this behavior was not limited to any specific age group.
I don’t even want to get started on the socially inept losers who take time and money to create and maintain those generic PHP-Nuke booter sites… and those rap songs about booting they have, wow, just wow, it is extremely pathetic.
However, in all fairness this behaviour is not isolated to Yahoo. It’s a result of people abusing online anonymity. Most people wouldn’t sign their name to the crap they say or do online.
Sorry for ranting, but I’m sure at least a few people share the same sentiments.
Yep, I hear ya there.I just get on yahoo to chat with friends for years.I dont cause trouble with anyone.But still the booter/cracker ppl tend to take my names,mess with the regs in the room and boot them,hit yahoo’s server with a boot exploit so most of the ppl get dissconnected from chat,ect.Age is no factor to this.It’s ranges from all ages.But most are above 18 and still act like they’re 12 using the programs they have on other ppl who cant do anything about it.Yahoo use to be a fun place to go chat with friends and hang out, not anymore.You’re lucky you can stay in a room without being booted half the time.I run Elite and found out they locked 2 of my accounts so my voice would’nt work in my reg room.Soundsl ike fun huh??Lol Well I unlocked my accounts and now have voice again.WOOHOOOO! But sometimes I feel it’s not even worth getting on yahoo anymore.And yeah, alot of ppl have quit using yahoo because of all the booting/hacking/cracking going on.Cant say I blame them.It gets old after awhile.But I guess thats yahoo for ya.Doubt things will ever change but we ca keep wishing i guess.
Torseq Tech.;207377 wrote:What Tim said, ned, is correct. It’s called YMSG/HTTP because it’s actually YMSG protocol over HTTP protocol (YMSG packets encapsulated inside of HTTP). I probably should have specified by naming the actual option in Messenger to use. In this case if you open Messenger and then go to preferences, then Connection and choose the radio/option button called “Firewall with no proxies” apply then ok you’ll sign into the network with YMSG/HTTP. It’s also important to mention that you should go to Messenger’s preferences and then to the “Ignore List” section and apply the “Ignore anyone who is not on my Messenger List” so if you are being PM bombed or other the packets will be ignored locally. The only thing that can bother you in this case would be add buddy requests but those won’t be all over your screen if you’re attacked but instead isolated (overlapping one another) since the “Ignore anyone who is not on my Messenger List” option doesn’t stop you from seeing those.After you do this do not enter chat just leave it in “pager mode” signed into Messenger. After this is done the same ID you used to sign into YMSG/HTTP with use that ID to sign into Chat 2 protocol on either the browser DHTML chat (which uses Chat 2) or a separate 3rd party client. You could leave the YMSG/HTTP messenger session minimized but still active and just focus on your Chat 2 session inside the 3rd party client or DHTML browser page (whichever means you go about when using Chat 2).
This works because YMSG protocol (including YMSG/HTTP) has priority/precedence over Chat 2 protocol and it overrides all of the packet types that you can receive such as chat invites and PMs. There’s a way to toggle this back and forth from the YMSG connection not getting priority and the chat 2 connection receiving the PMs and chat invites but then this will make your chat 2 connection “bootable” by means of flooding (back to square one). What could be done is to toggle it on when you’re not under attack *so you can receive your PMs and chat invites on the Chat 2 connection normally* and when you are under attack shift the priority back to YMSG/HTTP receiving that traffic so your Chat 2 (room) connection is unaffected. Let me know if you’re wanting to know how to change that up and I can share that information.
I dont understand how you actually sign in to the network using YMSG/HTTP on messenger then sign in under the same name on a chat client using Chat2.And setting it to firewall with no proxies and reject pm’s from ppl who are not on your list. I have dont this and the chat client,when you log in with the same ID as on messenger,Discconects that Id from messenger.Although I am not a Noob as they call it since I’ve been on yahoo since 1999, I have never had to worry about the booting,hacking,cracking names, since 06.So I dont have much knowledge on these types of problems but I’m trying to learn about it.Any info you can give me would be greatlly appreciated.Ty for your time and any help you can give.
ultra_great;208386 wrote:The explaination given of how a booter works was very thoruogh. I too have made some simple chat clients and lots of booters. I myself feel you left some things out about how a booter works. I myself feel it was just a pitch to promote your product. Or else you would have included some other things and you would have mentioned the fact that your chat client is very bootable. Like some one had said it dont matter what you are using if they want you booted you will be booted. All they gotta do is even go to my site lots of booters there, many of which WILL boot YMLITE, MESSY, YAZAC, YEHLITE, YTUNNEL, AND MORE. Instead of going through the trouble of downloading and installing a 3rd party client of any kind it is much simpler and works just about as well(maybe better in some cases)…..Before entering chat just go into your messenger settings and shut down pretty much everything except for PMs from freinds. This includes cam, chat, photo share, conference, and file invites. And the reason you can except PMs from freinds , but no one else is this….. Boot programs use bot ids in the program to send the boot packets. In most cases they ar enot going to be using thier own id in the program. The programs can be made to use from 1 bot to an unlimited number of bots. This will not protect you from all possibilities of being booted, but it will be a very great help. I would also like to add the fact the it DOES NOT matter a great deal of what internet connection speed the person is using to operate the booter. I have just finally recently switched from 56kbps dial up to 3.0mbps DSL. I myself booted more people and better on my old dial up connection. So really folks do not try to let this guy fool you with everything he is saying. I will though say that I have used his program. It does work and work well, but is not unbootable. I am not saying he says it is or anything of that manner I just want people to be aware that it isnt. His program is a very well written program though and serves its purpose. I will say though his post was a little to in depth for the average yahoo user to even understand or comprehend. I say this, because in my time on yahoo I have found that the average yahoo users are morons. LOL. Well I have said enough. P.S. I did not write this to in anyway degrade or run down YMLITE or its writer. I was just simply stating FACTS on simpler, but truthful level.How can you say you’re not trying to degrade anyone with your statement of the average yahoo user is a moron??? I have been on yahoo since 1999 and am an average user.I have no use for booters,crackers, or any other tools.I’m merely on yahoo to chat with friends in a room.I find that offensive not only to myself but others as well.I’m sure others would agree.Just because you might have more knowledge than some users doesn’t make them morons.You should use what you know to help the less unfortunate instead of putting them down like that.I have found this site to be very informative and educational.And most on here seem to know what they are talking about and help ppl out very much.Ty guys, I give credit where credit is due.I’m not trying to be mean but calling the average user a moron is just wrong.Ppl need help sometimes and ppl that have more knowledge than others should use that to help ppl less fortunate.
Maybe it’s just me but I think no matter how many times you try and contact yahoo about this boot exploit,seems to me if you’re not a paid customer they really care less what you have to say.Just like if your Yahoo ID gets stolen and you’re not a paid customer, good luck trying to get it back.

I’m also wondering if anyone is having problems with chat clients???Seems since this morning when I use Elite and go into Iowa 1 no one can see me type anything.I have tried using other clients except YMlite and still I cant be seen when I type.I know a few other ppl this morning were having the same problems and I’m still having the problem.Would this happen to be because of the boot exploit or yahoo updating??? Pretty sad when you’ve been on yahoo for years and cant even sit in a room and enjoy chatting with friends without having some kind of program ran on you.
