Previewer Script by andrewlinn957 on 09-01-2006 at 09:41 PM
I recognise that this could easily be a very stupid and n00b type question, but i was wondering...
Would it be possibe to create a script which allow you to preview the message someone is in the process of typing? Since on messenger it says *username* is typing a message when they are typing a message, i thought it would be cool if you could see what that message was.
Anywhoo, it's probably not possible. But if it is... Make that script!!!

Totally not possible 
All the MSN protocol sends when a person is typing is that the person is typing 
no more information.

It would be possible if both persons had a script, however this would be a total invasion of privacy

Not if you both knew you had it 134jimbodude.
RE: Previewer Script by Jimbo on 09-02-2006 at 10:03 AM
yes, but you could just hide it in another script
RE: Previewer Script by Zeh on 09-02-2006 at 03:13 PM
Well if both had the script then they would know that anyone with the script could see what they were typing and by that they would be accepting that condition when installing the script has long has if they were informed of that before downloading the script. So technicly it wouldn't be any invasion.

i don't understand what you would want to see what your contact is typing anyway.

Has you see it is possible if both people had a script that would permit it. And why do people want any of the scripts? For fun. lol

How are you going to send the pressed keystrokes to the contact?
You need to open an external connection for that.
For that you need to know the IP address of the contact.
For that you need to send something to the contact (file transfer, etc) as Messenger doesn't always use a direct connection which would reveal the IP.
For that you need to work at protocol level (sniffing).
Note: the (!IP) command, or any other method of sending the IP to your contact so his script knows your IP is of no use as that would require the script to send your IP to everybody who you talk to as it can not know who has the script and who doesn't.
AKA: certainly not strait forward to make something like this.

You could invite someone to a conversation that you can see the pressed keys. If the person acepts it it would trade ip's and then it would all be possible. Of course the person would only be able to accept if they had the script. Like it would send a code that the script would recognise and open a window to accept. If the person doesn't have the script they would just see a command in the conversation window.
That would ultimatly solve the privacy issue as well!
