keyfile.dat

[Omiime]

I'm not much of programmer, so was wondering if anyone could tell me how ( actually do :P )

I'd like to take keygfile.dat and put all codes into it
Eg. make script that will put every key from 0x3844343434 to 0x89798798789343 or whatever into.

Then change showeq to check key in this file everytime client zones.
Once right key is found stop. Untill client zones.

This might take while, to find the key, but shouldn't be too bad.

what would that accomplish? basically what you would want would be for the program to "append" to a file, rather than overwrite it.

unfortunatly, it wouldn't do you any good as the key is randomly generated EVERY time you zone... it is NOT zone dependant (or on anything else for that matter). what you would end up with is a file with EVERY KEY you ever saw. until you had recieved billions of keys, your chances of re-using the same key would be like the chances of the earth suddenly changing orbits and going to another solar system.

though, it WOULD be cool to compile a HUGE list of the keys, and if everyone were to send in THEIR huge list, a great big gigantic list could be compiled and possible weaknesses could be seen. mathmatical thingies could be used to compare the number... or maybe the kid from... whats that movie with bruce willis and that really smart autistic kid that reads puzzles to see super hidden secret codes?

#1: Not sure what that would acomplish. It would be going back to haveing to scan thousands of key codes to find the working one. Think it was Ratt who said if we did that it would take years to go thru all the codes.

#2: Movie Mercury Rising

#3: Not sure we want to post our keycodes. No way of telling if VI has a database of said codes.

Example some one posts:

1234567
then next code is
2345678

They look in a table for who had first code then right after had second code. Busted..

Not sure if VI has the time or the database to store these keycodes or not but just see it as being a bad idea.

There may be a bit of validity to this request. Decided to play with a key sniffer I wrote and noticed that the initial key, the one EQ uses to do the initial handshake, is easily determinable and appears, from my limited testing this morning, to actaully be hardcoded into EQ.

A bit later on, I noticed that one of the earlier keys I had captured was used for the same zone. I think I saw the same key after about 10 zonins to the same zone. I have compared all of the keys I have captured yet, but these two instanaces make me think there might be some validity to this request.
