Ok this is my problem, my brother uses AIM and I want to know what people are saying to him. I know AIM uses a port, so I wanted to see if i could look at what is going through that port, and maybe just maybe if i played with it i could decode the mesage ect, and see what he is sending and what is being sent. I would just take a pic of the screen, but I dont have that much memory on the hardrive to store that many pictures every few min/seconds. So I was going to say scan what is going through the port, and save the messages to a text file or something.
