Abstract :
This paper discusses how to effectively block MSN communication. Based on the analysis of the MSN messenger protocol, five effective blocking methods and a message-driven algorithm are proposed. Experimental results are also presented to compare the performances of different methods. The work done in this paper provides practicable and effective solutions to preventing and controlling the abuse of MSN and other kinds of IM
