Eve Instant Messenger - A Call To Arms

Eve Instant Messenger is a Jabber based instant messenger client that uses the Eve Online API to authenticate chat room participants. This ensures communication between all members without the need to use a multitude of IM services. It also provides a function where alerts can be broadcast to all chat room participants to act as a "Call to Arms". Eve IM can be opened or minimised to system tray.

You can download the Windows Installer here :

No current version available.
Tested on Windows Vista 32/64 Home/Premium, Windows 7, Windows XP SP2+.

A new issue has been pointed out that alleges API authentication can be forged, until a fix is made for this then the application will be unavailable and I cannot in all conscience recommend anyone use it.

I will work on a new version that addresses the API security issues and will post up news on this as it becomes available. Thank you for your patience and I apologise to the community for any inconvenience caused.

Foreseen Useage:
Eve Instant Messenger is a Jabber based instant messenger client that uses the Eve Online API to authenticate chat room participants. This can remain in the system tray and sound an alert to bring corp and alliance members into battle who were not logged in to the game. It can also be used as a simple out of game chat client.

Features:
Eve IM uses API authentication to provide confidence that the people in your alliance/corporation chat room are alliance/corporation members.

Security:
Authentication by API

Security through obscurity:
Server location
Corporation/Alliance password
Hashing of room names
Room names not listed on server

For maximum security rotate your alliance/corporation password regularly. The alliance/corporation password generates unique room names.
