Unofficial ICQv7/8 protocol documentation website

Me, my family, this page and stuff in it has no affiliation with Mirabilis, AOL, ICQ inc., or anyone else.

Introduction

This page is dedicated to people interested in ICQv7 protocol, used by ICQ2000 and later versions.

Purpose of this page is to collect info obtained observing icq sent and received data (without reverse engineering) or from other unofficial documentation. Hope it helps building icq protocol related software.

Notes

The ICQ protocol changed a lot since ICQ 2000, AOL decided to use a very similar protocol to the existing AIM protocol. So, AIM protocol related information are useful. When not specified the stuff on this website is related to ICQv7. ICQv8 is a superset of ICQv7, thus use the same servers.
