This is a (very wip) server-side implementation of the Oscar Protocol, used by AOL Instant Messenger and later versions of ICQ.
- Authentication Server
- Only supports the newer authentication mechanism (TLV 0x4c) because I don't want to deal with plaintext passwords
- Every username (no registration yet) can be used with the hardcoded password
password
- Set
AUTH_HOSTenv var (defaults to0.0.0.0) - Set
AUTH_PORTenv var (defaults to5190) - Run
npm run buildto compile - Run
npm start(orbin/aimserver)
This has only been tested with AIM for Windows version 5.2.3292, but theoretically should work with more clients.

- The unofficial docs I was following for SNAC 17,07 are wrong about the size of the auth key length field (should be 2 byte, docs say 4)
- TLV "tags" (integer used to represent them) seem to be reused often. In other words, auth and boss servers can both have multiple TLV with tag 0x1, used for completely different things. They seem to change per request/response
