While I agree that this is probably what will happen, it is probably not going be as easy as you make it seem. There is a very good chance that in this case the entire conversation with the server will be encrypted. In order to emulate this, the encryption will have to be broken. That's hard enough as it is, and you also don't really know what the plaintext is.
- tptacek 17y agoMany of the major game protocols are not only encrypted, but are extremely complex and irregular. They're absolutely no fun to reverse.
- pyre 17y agoThough it's sad that the 'extremely complex and irregular' part is probably not by design, but due to haphazardly adding features just to push out a product.
- tptacek 17y agoIn a couple cases, I know that to be the truth. You're basically looking at the results of getting PC LAN developers to implement Internet protocols, and getting Win32 systems programmers to implement encryption.
- cookiecaper 17y agoThey're encrypted with keys that your computer knows, or your computer wouldn't be able to read it. It's not too difficult to find that key and decrypt the information. Once you do that, it's just a matter of figuring out the way the info is sent. This would be pretty easy once the key is taken out.
