Yahoo messenger allows one to set their online status, and appear offline to everyone (be invisible) or to a selected few contacts.If a person decides to keep his status invisible, his id will appear offline in others contacts lists.
To know if a contact is really offline or just hiding , one can use various softwares that can be installed or those which are available as online tools. I prefer the second kind.These online tools work on a vulnerability in the Yahoo! messenger protocol, and hence could stop working either temporarily or pemenantly if yahoo “patches up” it’s server. But that shouldn’t deter you from exploring a handful of these that work just perfect. At the time of writing this article, the following online tools are working as they should!
2. YahooScan
4. Y! Detector
