RE: Display PIc Stealer
I don't want plus! to have a display picture stealer because the turth is, some people don't want their display pics to be everywhere on the net, and if plus! has it the ods are, more people will use the feature, more people will use their display pics, and they won't be personal anymore. Thats my 2 cents

I could be wrong but I don't believe there is.

Yes there is (otherwise it would be useless for MSN Messenger to store the DP's as re-useable cached files in the first place if it can't retrieve them anymore afterwards)

Thus... only if you decrypt the cache files used by MSN Messenger and maybe those used by Windows to store the temporary internet files.

Because the CAxxx.BIN files are the physical files, if you look at the temp internet folder, you'll see actuall hashes to those files; so it is possible that the cache file of msn messenger stores these hashes, which in turn point to the CAxxx.BIN files.

All this said, I never attempted to find this out exactly, so this may be wrong. But I have a strong feeling it will be somehting or similar to that.

No, actually, you can't...
The number part is linked by the IE cache system to how MSN Messenger wants to store it,
however... MSN hashes the DP information before using it to save and look up the cache. (hashing is a one-way encryption).
Thus there is no way of knowing which DP belongs to whom.
You can however resolve a DP object (<msnobj .... />) to a cache file, but you'll need more information than just the email address :)

Care to share what you know? I'm also curious how you managed to find that out.

It's part of the msg protocol. There are a lot of resources on the internet about that...

ZoRoNaX has written some interesting things about that object. See: http://zoronax.bot2k3.net/msn/msnc_msnobj.html
