It crashes aim users. It can kill, flood and distort.

Oh well, I don't use AIM (AOL sucks), but programs like that are just made for kiddies who like to piss about with the service for people who actually need to use it.
It's like the yahoo booters that appear on sites like this:

People that use booting/flooding programs define the term 'script kiddy', and have absolutely no interest in computers, not to mention how programs work. They find it fun to kick people off the network, to show how '***7' they are or for whatever retarded reason. I advise you not to join their crowd.

Lol, Mike. Well, I havent joined the crowd.
Haha, that was too funny.
I hate AOL (with a passion) but gaim never worked for me.
I was thinking of writing one myself, but I needed ideas...
Hmph, thanks ~
Your my hero!
Well, the first place to look for writing such programs would be documentation for AIM's protocol, then finding weaknesses or just general ways to degrade the service. Unfortunately, aol doesn't like people to actually do anything interesting with their service, so they don't provide any documentation.Lol, Mike. Well, I havent joined the crowd.

Some smart people picked apart the protocol and made a document about it, which has also been removed from it's original location. The document can still be found on some random ftp server here (open it with word/openoffice):

Being someone who already has worked with protocols like http and irc, that crap is still way over my head; so if you don't have experience, you don't have a chance or figuring things out.
That's the general way people make those lame service-degrading programs - they read documentation for the protocol involved, find out how to manipulate it, then make a program to share with other people.
And on a side note - gaim worked fine for me on windows AND currently as I talk to people on suse. Try downloading it here:

It may not work with aol though - I only tried it with msn and some jabber servers.
Thank you!
