      I'm also very much interestet in the newest version of Imspector.

      Can anybody bind the newest version into pfsense? Or make a script wherewith
      we are able to install it over shell?

      I hope mr Ryan Wagoner can make this happen :)
      (i think that he has implemented the last version into pfsense).

        As long as the new version is not in the ports system it is unlikely that it will be included in pfsense. For the moment imspector for FreeBSD is at version 0.5: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=imspector&stype=all

          Hi for all,
          the last version is 0.8 and in the freebsd ports, is 0.5
          have some chance to compile that without ports and put in pfsense.
          Some features, like inject messages into the conversation, that respect privacy laws in some countrys, is very important.
          Have some other changes in the pfsense imspector gui necessary like:
          Loggin rotate
          Export conversation history to other formats like html or pdf.

              i can make some tbz, but is in freebsd general setup. For pfSense, need upgrade the gui to support this new functions and in php, i'm very novice. If someone understand php and the pfsense framework, in some way, i can help.

                  thank you freebe.

                  I think you should check the tgz file of imspector 0.4 (which is already included in pfsense)

                  I think I can modify the php files for version 0.8

                    Please see the bounty post on this.  I've started work on an update.  0.8 is working fine here so far (for IRC at least) - I'll finish it up regardless, but any donations to the cause would be appreciated.

                      Great work bill!

                      It seems the latest version of msn does has some kind of security, the chat logs are not being logged with the current imspector version Sad

                      edit : Actually it does seem to log, but not using the contact names anymore, it displays weird strings : {90ef587c-b7cb-4110-9b5a-db95dd1c2339} and groupchat. I hope the latest build from Bill solves this problem.

                        New build seems to be broken, atleast on 1.2.3. The gui is messed up (buttons outside the pfsense frame) and the messages (wich were logged with the 0.4 version) doesnt show correctly. I tried reinstalling and removing and installing, no luck.

                        The problem is that there two many lines shown in the conversations. You know like

                        n1ko: hi
                        Fei Tang: hi

                        shows up like

                        n1ko: hi
                        n1ko:
                        n1ko:
                        n1ko:
                        Fei Tang: hi
                        Fei Tang:
                        Fei Tang:
                        Fei Tang:
                        Fei Tang:

                        There are also totally empty lines (with only timestamp logged). And the spacing seems to be b0rked too or maybe theres two 'lines' on one line. Like "Hi              how are you", even tought it might have been "hi" and "after that how are you"

                        EDIT: I was using google chrome before, now I tried with ff3. FF3 shows the buttons etc in their right places but the messages are messed up there too.

                          What protocol was this?  IRC is working fine for me.

                          I can only test FF3 and Safari - it's too late tonight to test out Safari, this is probably an alignment issue due to adding the category field.

                            MSN and IRC. I only have these two.

                            The logging format probably changed in some version because all the new things (logged with 0.8) are just fine. So I guess I just have to live with the old logs being a little bit b0rked :)

                            I snooped around some more, like i guessed the problem is with the loggin format:

                            OLD: 192.168.2.2:35408,1234243652,0,1,0,n1ko: message here

                            NEW: 192.168.2.2:41211,1234250056,0,1,0,,n1ko: new message here

                            Theres an second , before the nick. This is the only difference I found.

                              Ahh, that's the category field :)  New logs are fine though right?  I'll see if I can change the regexp to support both formats - it's kind of a fast and loose regexp and needs some tightening anyway.

                                Yes, everything new is fine. The log viewer / settings buttons are messed up with chrome but thats only a little annoyance. Firefox works  fine

                                  about imspector 0.8:

                                  how to tune connection to mysql-server?

                                  i have create user/password on server: imspector/imspector
                                  then i feel fields in "imspector settings"(server, user etc…)

                                  imspector was create table "messages" on my server.

                                  trouble: no one message not inserted to table:( table is empty:(

                                  anybody know what's happened?

                                      Microsoft released a new version of msn recently, imspector fails to work with this version and it's logging unfort :(

                                      See :

                                      The groupchat logs are all from the same person/conversation Leaving impsector running for an hour results into a horrible amount of groupchat logs..

                                      Any idea's if this is the imspector code which needs changing? Or is this related to the pfsense frontend?

                                        Can anyone confirm if the previous pfs version (0.4?) is experiencing problems? I had no problems what so ever until I updated the package to 0.8-0.

                                            I don't have, use MSN chat, or even known anyone that uses it.  I'll need to see the raw logs from /var/imspector to see if we're parsing something wrong.  I think I saw something about MSN and IMSpector somewhere, but I can't for the life of me find it now - I swear it had something to do with your issue and the problem was that it needed to catch the initial sign in, which is on a different port.
