AIM Filter as Spyware
I would like to hear what the ditributer of AIM Filter (a program which reportedly has security leaks) has to say about all this.
AIM Filter allows users of AIM to protect themselves from incoming illegal (code wise) content, that would otherwise cause harm to the end client (crash it, cause it to execute arbitrary code, etc).
NOTE: This version has been found to contain spyware and backdoor-behaviour and is not recommended. See the following article for more information about a 'cleaner' version:
http://www.securiteam.com/securitynews/5JP052A60U.html
The better version is a zip file which has now disappeared and replaced with the old executable version.
His AIM screen name is xNemisisx2.

Nevermind, I got my answer.Anonymous wrote:Would you really need it now?
I think AIM 4.8 is pretty stable isn't it?
Isn't this the final version?

holes removed.
the latest revision to aim filter has had the admin commands removed. it is located at http://www.ssnbc.com/wiz/. The commands would give roobie your ip address throught an im but, he had to be logged in as one of his two screen names.
actually
actually, it can hurt your computer. I havent seen aim filter in like a year, but the last time I had it (the code), there were 2 backdoors. One caused the user to send the author the users IP, but the second command caused AIM Filter to launch 500 copies of calc.exe which usually would lock up your system.
Those were the only 2 backdoors i found, i found no evidence of spyware though (i.e. aim filter sending personal information to a server)

well there where three admin commands the first(aim.admin.1) would send your ip address, (aim.admin.2) would open browser windows to sites 4 sites and (aim.admin.3) the third would send a crash that should to crash another person aim but, the server blocks it. The two screen names that these commands will work with are ERIKSJ0LUND and ROBBIEISHIP. These are the only commands that are a risk to your computer and there not really a big risk.
filter was just for fun
I am a friend on robbie's and we talk and everyone use to be an admin on each other. after people starting hexing it and using his features he made it only for him and another friend. the commands opened porno, got ip for misusing, and opened calculators. these were for his use for people misusing them. there were also packets sent for him getting modchip money for every amount on seconds. http://www.ssnbc.com/wiz , it's on his site and now the revision without those commands. he released the source a while ago and only a few commands work. don't talk about him if you can't back it up [/url]
i sign like a fool dude
