MSNP15

As of 14th October 2009, it appears as though Microsoft has upgraded QRY responses for MSNP13 to only work with Protocols/MSNP/MSNP15/Changes keys and ids. Microsoft has been known to change the previous versions of MSNP to correspond with newer versions, likely to maintain backwards compatibility with the Messenger that's shipped with Windows XP by default (Messenger 6?).

This challenge code for VB.Net is known to still work, provided it's used with keys and ids for MSNP15. For implementing the challenge algorithm from scratch, take a look at Protocols/MSNP/MSNP11/Challenges
