Hello guys,
i am tring to write a client for icq, and the start is to undetstant its 
protocol(s) so i tried to use ethereal to sniff the traffic, but surprise, i 
was expecting ascii data, but there is a lot of binary data, hard to 
understand, well now, ethereal identified the aim protocol
port (2098) but there is alos data from icq on port 5190 and is just tcp 
nothing else.

I searched on google about this aim protocol and it seems to be used by icq 
and aol messenger.

If someone could tell me where to find docs about this protocol would be 
great, or if somebody is doing the same thing i am tring to do.


Best regards.
