Friend of mine, typed the line in SUBJECT, when I was eager to know whats goin on in Nepal. Not just that particular one, I have been told by bunch of others. An irony is, some of them who told me, are real techie. This is the recent rumour to hit Nepali Chat market. The Question is, Can MSN (highly secured) or alike be monitored by Gyane and his government? Heck no. Atleast Bill Gates doesnt like the idea. He will rather die cracking over the matter. Haserai marcha..! For your (Daju Bhai/ Didi Bahini in Nepal) concern, if it ever can be monitored - it would be no other than by FBI / CIA / Homeland Security. How ? The dont have to intrude like freak hackers, they have been granted an enough credentials to Monitor the session. That is how. MSN is well secured by serious encryption methodology, which dont let intruder in during the chat session. However one can see others chatting if he/she is genius to termserve (emulation mode) into chat freaks' computer and get desktop snapshot right on his/her monitor . This is not possible unless that genius inject some kind trojan which somehow turn desktop to emulation mode but remain unnoticed by the victim. Is there any trojan available ? To my knowledge NO. Getting or stealing pwd over MSN is different but getting into the group chat session is almost impossible. Thats what I believe. By the way I am not talking about IRC. I am talking about Messenger services like MSN, Yahoo, AOL .. So don't worry you can share any kind of views and ideas over Messenger. Its secured unless you do not sound like Al qaeda
