Greetings.

Ideally, remove the application(s) from the machines. This can be done manually, or through policies. If that is not feasible, then filter the traffic at the gateway. Filtering the traffic is dependent on the type of ids/firewall/switch/router configuration(s) being used. I suggest you do both, remove the software, and filter the aim traffic.

Be familiar with the various types of transmissions/packets used by AIM. An easy way to do this is to fire up Ethereal, and watch specifically for AIM traffic.

I am at an office with 50~ machines , out of thoes about 20 or so use
AIM. I would like to block AIM and normally i'd just block the AIM
port (5190) or whatever it is..

BUT AOL seems to have found a great way around this and has 4000+
diffrent ports they use and i'd assume lots of diffrent hosts.


Whats the best way of blocking all AIM traffic ?
