on this subject, it seems you can get some free ddps :)
look at what i found at mess.be (can't give link because they go on ajax and there are no links at all) (read my comments under this): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Using emoticons like crying MSN emoticon and crying MSN emoticon in your conversation will trigger the Dynamic Display Picture to express emotions corresponding to the smileys. If you're the kind of chatter who types more emoticons than two syllable words, you better turn this option off. 2) By clicking an option called "Change mood to" or right-clicking your Dynamic Display Picture, you will be able to set your DDP according to your current mood. As soon as it has finished loading, it appears on both your and your contact's screen. If you decide to delete a Dynamic Display Picture it cannot be recovered, so think twice because unless you got it from Mess.be you probably paid for it. Thanks to a tip from Alpha Binary we expect Dynamic Display Pictures to be Macromedia Flash files, rather than animated GIFs. This could also explain why this feature has been temporarily disabled due to heightened security. When Dynamic Display Pictures are enabled again (maybe in March or April 2005?), a new build higher than 7.0.0604 will probably be issued by Microsoft. And here's how you'll be able to add them: 1. Click the Tools menu, and then click Change Display Picture. (If menu choices don't appear at the top of your window, you may have hidden your window frame. Click in the upper left corner, or press ALT to restore it.) 2. Click Create a Dynamic Display Picture. 3. On the MSN partner site, create and download the dynamic display picture you want to use. The picture will be automatically installed. Naturally, Mess with MSN Messenger plans to offer FREE Dynamic Display Pictures through our CustoMess for MSN Messenger software. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So, it seems they're flash files... and you can "get" some of them using CustoMess (www.mess.be), so i think that may even keep the file on your hard drive or so... Anyway the interesting thing is maybe we can do crappy things with flash, like: 1) a animated gif->flash conversor. 2) displaypics with sound? 3) interactive displaypics? 4) interactive displaypics with sound (maze scare alike? :D:D) Hmmmm...

It is the same system as the winks, it seems that when you try to transfer those files, you have to do some request to a microsoft server that check the certificate. The certificate is not only to prevent downloading non "checked for safety" files, but also to keep the file on your computer. Maybe I misinterpreted ... but that's what I deduced from some sniff I did. In any case, those files are cabinets files with a content.xml file inside that describe the files present. The only way we could create such files would be to "guess" Microsoft private key :p ... and its something like 1024 bits ! - -- GrdScarabe -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEb5g2Pmfsnt4Id3wRAkWEAJ4yhKmOWiWOR7uxl72RevP2EowO2QCbBxOt A77UpBAzWVs7g5COhvB3id0= =rcKc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
