How Yahoo booters *REALLY* work.

[bulb1234]

Here is a specific question , please help me finding the answer.

Suppose that a person’s Yahoo email id is bulb1234@yahoo.com but he has made additional profiles on yahoo, one of them is tube23. Now the person logs on the messenger and than enters chatroom as tube23. Is there any way for a booter to see that primary id of the person, who is in chatroom as tube23, is actually bulb1234? Here I am not talking about nickname –the person can enter chatroom from tube23 id with a nickname lamp12 but it will be easy to see that his id is tube23-- my question is –will it be possible to see that his primary email id is bulb1234?

Is the above discovery possible in chatrooms or is it possible only from IM, or from none. Will it be possible to give the answer and explain the reason in very simple language?


thanks

Yes, there's ways. Either through p2p connections, or through the avatar URL.

Can you please eloberate a little how it can be done. If bulb1234 is using a proxy internet server, will it still be possible? And by the way what is 'avatar URL'? is it the URL that appears when someone sees my 'yahoo profile' of additinal profile? do you mean that they can get ip number of that profile page and than search other profiles hosted on same ip number ??

ok i will not ask for exact software or tools to do it, if it is against policy of forum, i am asking tonly the basic principles involed here plus i need to know what is my exposure while using any particular kind of service.

Does anyone know how to get chatter's IP without P2P connection? How to d/c a yahoo user with the IP? Is this really possible?

Not possible. You'll just get the Yahoo server IP. And talking about disconnecting users via an IP address is not allowed here.

I'm going to close this topic now, as I believe it has ran its course. Any of the other mods can feel free to reopen it if they want, but I believe discussing how to disconnect a user is malicious and bad.
