MSN Compatible messenger

 [1/3] from: ptretter:charter at: 15-Jul-2001 8:38


Ok, I have run into an issue that I can't seem to resolve. I have a script that attempts to log into MSN and works up to the point of authentication of the MD5 hash and password. I can see all the commands in the handshake process. The last command I recieve from MSN is "911" at interval 6 which translates from the RFC to mean that authentication failed. I utilize Ethereal for the network sniffing and have been able to verify the process related to the authentication process with both MSN and my script. The MSN messenger works but mine does not. Has anyone had similiar issues or knows whether their maybe any bug related to generating the MD5 hash from a 'word? Paul Tretter

Well I got past that hurdle. The problem was that the hash information passed back to the server was case sensitive. I verified that the md5 stuff was working fine with the sniffer and few more tests. So now I'm well on my way with this.

hmmm... Microsoft is known for slightly altering or "extending" standards. This could another one of those cases. Anyways, keep on trying and document your work so someone else can help out or continue it if you stop. --Ryan Paul Tretter wrote:
