31337 is just an example port! aMSN is binding an ephermal port after
you've started it. Just do a netstat -an and look for ephermal ports. If
you get the aMSN port you can connect to it and sending some characters and
you'll get replies by aMSN.
If you send an '{' or '}' character to that amsn port, you'll notice
that aMSN is reporting an error message (amsn window).
But if you going to send more than one character of '}' or '{'
it will be killed. Yes, the whole client!

To "Ismail Soenmez": 

Learn to spell my name correctly first.

What about "DDoS"? Sending characters to that port in 
an "infinite" loop is a DDoS for you?

If you read the PoC you wrote you'll see that you forgot to increment the 
value of i in the loop. So yes you are sending packages in an infinite loop. 
Thats DoS, never mind the double D I stuck up there.

It was just a typo about your name (i'm  using .de layout). Like you with your
"DDoS" typo. 
I didn't want to increment, just doing a infinite loop yes! 
You can do it manually
connecting to that port and just paste the characters I showed. The loop isn't
important in that role. Same result.
