do you know of any programs that monitors ichat usage or should i
say ichat traffic over the network? say something like...aimsniff.com
iChat connects to different types of chat services, for instance AIM
and Jabber. Jabber is encrypted, so while you might be able to
monitor it you wouldn't be able to read the conversations.
So define what you mean by "monitor"???
For instance tcpdump could provide monitoring of connections, etc.
is ichat even allowed in your schools?
I'm not a school.
How would you prevent it? While you might stop iChat, what's to
prevent someone from hitting one of the web/chat servers like
jivetalk, et al.
