Q: What is a yahoo boot program?
A: A yahoo booter is a program consisting of laggs, 
 boots, macros, and other stuff.

Q: What is a Boot?
A: A boot (aka boot string, aka boot code) is a string that 
 confuses yahoo messenger. Messenger's effects, such as 
 underlining www.'s, using smileys, using sounds, etc. 
 Allows people to exploit them and cause messenger to 
 error or freeze. Boot codes look like "<snd=<snd><snd>
 <snd><snd>". These codes exploit yahoo's built in sounds
 ,<snd=yahoo>, <snd=pow>, etc.

Q: What is a lagg?
A: A lagg is a code sent into chat that slows the victims 
computer down, sometimes even freezes it. most of these 
codes consist of smileys and sounds.

Q: What is a macro?
A: A macro is just a picture made out of text like:
        ********    ********
        *      *    *      *
 ///||||*  ( O *||||*   O )*||||\\\  << Glasses
///     ********    ********     \\\


Q: When i try booting someone it boots me too! Why?
A: You get booted to because the program's antiboot isnt
 compatible with your build of messenger. An antiboot stops
 your chat window from reading the boot code and being effected 
 by it. Even though the chat dialog is closed yahoo still accepts 
 the text (or boot code) you send.
----------------------------------------------------------
Q: What is the user name and password for this program?
A: The program you are using is a protocol booter. This 
 means you use your yahoo ID to log into yahoo servers.
----------------------------------------------------------
Q: But what if i enter my id and password and the programmer
 steals my pass?
A: Most programmers dont try to steal your pass's in thier 
 prog. I do not recommend you use your yahoo id to login with
 these programs. The best idea is to make a name you will 
 only use for booters. Be sure your pass for that ID isnt 
 the same as your other pass's.
---------------------------------------------------------
Q: What is a protocol booter?
A: A protocol booter is a program that logs into yahoo's 
 servers with your id and allows you to send the booters
 through the program and not using messenger, and this 
 increases your chances of not getting booted yourself. 
---------------------------------------------------------
Q: What is a PM bomber?
A: A pm bomber is protocol prog that uses exploits in 
 yahoo's chat system to send the victim enough pm's to 
 close messenger or even freeze the computer. These messeges
 can be blank or contain boot codes.
---------------------------------------------------------
Q: Where can i find yahoo booters?
A: You can download them in my yahoo section or look in my 
 link section for more sources.

---------------------------------------------------------

Q: Why can i only have a ID with numbers, letters, and _'s, 
 when i saw someone with a ID with symbols, beggining in numbers, 
 periods, capitals, etc.
A: These are known as "illegal" id's. Yahoo used to allow 
 capital names to be created but now only basic characters 
 are allowed. You can have captals in chat if you use a 
 program called "CheetaChat". A long time ago yahoo's 
 servers messed up and allowed many id's to be created
 with illegal characters. Yahoo didnt take the time to 
 fix them and instead of deleting the accounts let them stay 
 active. Yahoo's servers messed up a little while ago but it 
 was fixed in minutes. Also yahoo.com.tw branded ID's with 
 ".com.tw" when some ids were made so now those are seen in 
 chat because yahoo stoped the "branding" but still allows 
 those accounts to be used. You may have also seen ID's like 
 "baseball.geo". These were made by people having accounts on
 geocities like "baseball". When yahoo bought geocities they
 had account name conflicts since you can use your yahoo id's
 for geocities accounts. Yahoo decided to place ".geo" at the 
 end of those ID's and keep those accounts active.

Q: How do i get one of those id's?
A: Since you can make them you must take them from another person
  by guessing or "brute forcing" their password. This is called cracking.

Q: How do i crack one of those names?
A: You download a cracker and get a passlist from my site. 
 Yahoo used to allow infintite password attemps but they have
 patched allmost all of thier login servers. Now you only get 
 49 attemps. (Note: If you do crack a name be sure to make the 
 pass really hard.)

Q: I dont like the illegal i have, how do i get a different one?
A: Most people will trade ID's with you. Just go into a chat room 
 and offer the names up for trade. Be careful because some people, 
 called "rippers", will give you the wrong pass and take your ID.
 Always make them prove they have the ID in the first place.

Common Terms:
