IMSpector package

@kapara:

imspector not showing AIM chats….It shows Yahoo and MSN.

Also what is your email for paypal donations?

Hmmm, I'll have to see if I can remember my AIM credentials so I can get that fixed.

Mines logging AIM, but it's showing me as 'unknown' - as that's not in pfsense code (that I know of), I can only imagine it's something imspector related, I'll add that to my list of followups.

I was saying to myself :
"Hey, I'm paying for a VMWare Workstation thing,", so I took a FreeBSD DVD ISO from the source (scary, BitTorrent loaded it in 35 minutes :D) and installed a "everything but Xwindows stuff".

I wish I had noted down what packages I had to load afterwards, but libiconv (from GNU) and gmake were needed.

In imspector.h, this is included :
#include <iconv.h>That one is not ok.
I used a
find /usr - name iconv.h (found it in /usr/local/include)
and included THAT iconv.h file, otherwise many errors in "icqprotocolplugin.cpp" will pop up.

I modified my Makefile slightly (only leaving the log plugging MySQL) and I had to correct icqprotocolplugin.cpp on line (appr.) 671 looks like
const char *inbuf = string;
because iconv() is defined as such.

A make would actually build the thing !

Having set the PREFIX in the Makefile correctly would even put the files on the right place.
A ldconfig was needed to indicate the access to the .so library files, because inspector uses the high tech "late 'dynamic' binding".

From doing this to actually building a pfSense package, well Billm, big hands down for you ^^</iconv.h>

Hello

I've installed 0.8 with no problem, but why there is Gadu-Gadu (gg) plugin missing ?
It is very popular in my country (PL), it's almost only one communicator :)
Or how make it working with gg ?

Gertjan

Well, I'll go for the most simple answer :
These five items need to find each other at the same time, at the same place:
In "your Country"….,
A Gadu Gadu user,
With some heavy FreeBSD knowledge,
... and C langauge experiences,
Capable of understanding the plug-in interface of ImSpector.
Need to have a filter for Gadu Gadu communications.

When these 5 joint up, your plug-in will come out very fast.

Note that item 2 is often in conflict with item 5 ;-)

Thanks for the kind answer :)

There is a reason why I'm asking about this protocol. I've seen on imspector site that gg protocol is also possible to watch/log.

http://www.imspector.org/wordpress/?page_id=91

icq_protocol=on
irc_protocol=on
msn_protocol=on
yahoo_protocol=on
gg_protocol=on
jabber_protocol=on
https_protocol=on

GG plugin is ready to use but not included in pfSense package, I think.
That is my question, expanded :)

I've managed to add GG protocol to config page and as a result to the config file. In /usr/local/pkg/imspector.xml I have added
<option><name>GaduGadu</name>
<value>gg</value></option>

Now gg_protocol=on is added in config if selected on config page. First step made but no result in log. Any help ?

Any news on updating to new cvs? seems that march 17. build has more fixes to the 'msn2009' issues.

I got a PM on this the other day, I haven't had time to update our sources and push a new build. Hopefully later today.

What you are probably missing is the redirect. In function imspector_proto_to_port() in imspector.inc you'll find the protocol to port mappings. Figure out what port GaduGadu is and add a case entry for it. If you get it working, I'll update the build with the fix. Thanks

Hi

Seems to be working.
gg port is 8074, after restart of imspector it is working for 1/2 hour, finally. But there is sth with config, I cannot add Gadu-Gadu as the only one protocol on config page in WebGui, only with any other protocol 'gg_protocol=on' is added to config file.
I will watch it working and give report.
Thanks for your advice

Hi. Just reinstall you imspector or install the latest package of imspector. I already encountered that before. I just upgrade it to the latest package in the webgui.

Something I ran into. When removing this package, immediately the protocols in question broke on our network. After re-installing the package, stopping the service and then removing the package, IM traffic was restored. I suspect that on de-install, the firewall rules aren't getting pulled out to intercept IM traffic.

Same problem here! I thought this was due to a outdated version of msn, but I remember now after removing imspector these problems started happening..

AIM can already be logged, I too would like to see gtalk/XMPP working (it says it is working on the IMspector homepage), skype will never be able to be logged, the chats are encrypted and skype cycles encryption schemes every few months.
