From what I have managed to figgure out, here is how things work.

1) Client generates a session key
2) Client encrypts that session key with the server's public key.
3) Client sends the session...

well, SOE may be smarter then they look.

People are not going to want to move on to SWG or EQ2 if eq is fine, and they are really far along.

Now if something came along, that made you...

I understand the reasons behind keeping libEQ closed, and the reasons for keeping it under wraps.

My hope was to hear about any information they could release about old information that is not...

except all the decryption is done in libEQ which is not in cvs.

Now that it looks like the encryption has changed alot, and the old way of doing things is pretty much useless, would it be possible for someone to kindof create a timeline or something with...

Spook, what did you use to open the s3d files under linux?

one thing that may be interesting is to take note of new mob spawns, and then see what just died in the zone. Store that info, and then the next time that mob spawns see which of the same previous...

from what I gathered above, the client generates the session key, and encrypt's it with the servers public key, and sends it back to the server, not the other way around.

Since it seems like the old decryption code is nolonger usefull, I would love to see something written about how EQ used to do it's encryption, and how it was broken. I love reading stories about...

Here is my idea on how a man in the middle attack could work.

1) Make a proxy server that does little more then just hand off packets to sony. Have the clients connect to it, and just forward the...

good post, that sums it up quite well.

One silver lineing is that since the client generates the session key, a man in the middle attack would work to get the client to use a session key that...

Would an attack on the random number generator work? I wonder what a histogram of the session keys generated by the client would look like. There may be huge chunks of the keyspace that hardly ever...

ya, I posted there, and the only reason I posted here was because I found a link where Ashran mentioned that s3d's were compressed with zlib. I then tried e-mailing the address listed but it...

I was wondering if any of the showeq devs had any information about loading s3d files. I would use EQInside, but I'm a linux user and the dll does not help me much.

From...

just thought you may be interested. Virtual Desktops may be nice for running seq and eq.
