That's a pretty neat looking tool.  I'm don't even have the need to run it,
yet I feel a little compelled to try it out.. :)

I'd probably just drop in some old PC running FreeBSD 6.1 and aimsniff
on a span port, or a hub off the LAN interface of the firewall if I
had to.  http://www.aimsniff.com

That's assuming AIM hasn't added any encryption capabilities in the
last year or so, it's been that long since I've looked at any AIM
traffic.  I seem to recall some add on software for AIM that does
allow encryption of message contents, this would also assume nothing
like that was in use.  Granted, any network-based IM monitoring would
have trouble in cases like that.
