What packet encryption is the EQEMU implementing?

I'm trying to decode text being sent from one user to another inside of the game world. It seems that all chat has been encrypted for transmission. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where this encryption / decryption algorithms are in the EQEMU source. Thanks

The data steam is not encrypted to my knowledge, portions of it are compressed using zlib however.

where is the portion of the code where sending the packets across networks is actually done. I'm specifically trying to locate chat packets (tells, shouts, ooc, etc..). Anything would be very helpful.

Any update on finding the code segments that deal with the compression?

thanks

So youre trying to be able to spy on peoples conversations. How nice. Should we call you George?

People have an expectation of privacy in their communications, so you could be openning yourself to legal issues and if someone does bust you spying on them, I hope they do persue it to the fullest extent of the law.

Its bad enough our goverment is spying on us without any regards to our rights and you adding to that isnt going to gain you any friends.
