Hi I had been testing on this for quiet some time now. In versions of yahoo messenger before 6, when i transfer a file >2 mb and try netstat -a -n from CMD on windows machine, i was able to get the IP address (internal) of the person at the other end !! Yahoo did some patches in the latest editions but, i have been informed by my testing team that burp proxy can get the target IP (internal) if you have it installed, when using latest edition to do file transfer, Also when you do calls using messenger point to point connection is made. it is like normal chat a <-------->Yahoo server(s) <-------> b Lengthy processes (filetransfer) (calls) etc. a<------->Yahoo authenticates at interval<----->b a<------->b //Direct connection. I think it would help, please revert so that i can get you some video demonstations to prove my experiment.

Hi list, I was wondering to have any clue on this. While having a chat session with somebody in yahoo messenger, how is it possible to obtain his/her Private IP address if that person is behind a Router and/or a Firewall (NATed)? Moreover, Is there any way that he/she can hide successfully (behind the NAT or something else)so that NO internal IP address is revealed? Thanks. Warm regards.
