Well technically my friend's need help. Two of my friends got their emails hacked, contacts removed, blogs deleted. I have a friend who is a Microsoft Consultant that says they weren't hacked but keylogged. The cracker is still using their emails and chatting with me trying to convince that he's not the "cracker". I'm curious that is there a way for me to locate the person's IP and location? As the nature of one of my friend's email accounts are business related and are very PnC.
Me and the cracker both use MSN Messenger.
P.S. The cracker posted on MSN "27 down, 3 more to go".

well, you'd have to have this explained to you......
when you chat on MSN, it goes through a seperate server, so anything you try will be useless....unless....
you have to create a direct connection to his computer, rather than through an MSN server. to do this, he has to accept a packet from you. (the only way i can think of is to send him a picture or something) PRETEND to believe he's your friend. that way, he wouldn't be suspicious of you sending him somethin. before you do this, type netstat - a in your command prompt. some get an error, sometimes it works (eg one of my computer won't let me, other one does)
it will show a number of connections to your computer. then, do all the above steps, and while the file is sending (make it a big picture file to give you time) type netstat - a again in the command prompt. compare it with the other time you did it, it should show a new IP and that should be his. one can only hope i guess.

I'd suggest WireShark while you're.... transmitting a file.

One most obvious error is that it ran out of memory... and how to fix it? I just remove the topmost item and let in more items below.
Programmatically

xD Yep and I will re-create WireSharp with less exception for all to use.
Since it is open source, it make my job heck a lot easier than decompiling it. xD
