Retrieving IP's just by chatting on MSN Messenger?
Well, let's put it this way: nothing is impossible, but you'd need to have access to the MSN Messenger servers (the ones Microsoft runs) to find this out.
A few popular (and unnoticable) ways to retrieve someone's IP via a messenger (be it MSN, AIM, YIM or ICQ):
- Accept the sending of a file or photo
- Accept a voice or webcam conversation
- Go to someone's webpage
Also, - I haven't looked into MSN Messenger 6.0 this far yet, so I'm not sure, but - it should be fairly easy to retrieve someone's IP if they use the custom emoticons, custom backgrounds, image preview or personal picture features.
