User talk:YahooBoots

A boot program sends people an infinite stream of instant messages. This causes the other user's chat window to

overflow and crash, thereby booting them from the room. It also closes the IM window as well.

Years ago editing your filter1.txt with "boot code strings" could help to stop some of the chat room-specific crash

codes (html, js). It never did anything to stop actual booters from booting you by any other means (PM bombing, cam

invites, conf invites, add buddies etc) since all the filter1.txt/filter1.enc files govern is preventing text

strings from being displayed in your chat room window.

You used to be able to edit the filter1.txt and place the boot strings in them to keep yourself from being booted.

The filder is used to filter out bad words that you don't want to see in chat. Thus keeping you from recieving the

boot strings. An example of the boot string used are below.

Boot String Examples:  @};-@};-@};-@};-@};-@};-@};-@};-@};- @};-@};-@};-@};-@};-@};-@};-@};-@};- @};-@};-@};-@};-@};-@};-@};-@};-@};- </? </</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</</ ????????:??????????????????????????????:????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

As of now at the time of this post, the Yahoo Booters require you to have several accounts on yahoo and they use

packets that send these boot strings. The Booter will sign in you muliple accounts and then use one by one to send a

packet to the Yahoo Messenger in order to boot people off.
