AIM: Login Attempt
This signature detects attempts to login to AIM servers through native AOLIM mode, HTTP proxy mode, or SOCKS proxy mode. These are proxy/tunneling methods to avoid firewalls and IPS filters. Depending on your corporate policies, Instant Messaging can be a violation of your end-user's network usage policy. Setting the action of "Close Client and Server" blocks users from chatting on AOLIM over known HTTP/SOCKS proxy ports. This rule should only be applied to a WAN interface.
