Minilogin Woes

[Theeper]

I don't think Minilogin uses any type of encryption in communication with World. But why bother trying to decompile it though ? You can see how it works from the server source.

This subject has been beaten to death though. For some reason it has to be brought up again every few months. Someone should sticky the last few "I want to decompile Minilogin" threads.

minilogin doesnt use encryption you are correct but the client DOES and minilogin is actually just another build of the public loginserver for one minus the crypto obviously. add to that that the client uses crypto to talk to the worldserver and thats what hes going to be siffing or trying to figure out

[Theeper]

You don't need to sniff packets. It's all right there in the server source.

[cole89103]

no its not ive seen the old loginserver source trust me its not in the source if it was eqemu would have been shut down by soe ages ago its also why the loginserver source is guarded so closely the crypto needs to be sniffed with packet and key sniffers it CAN be done if he sniffs the stuff when he connects to the public loginserver but no its not in the worldserver source code

[Theeper]

I didn't say the LS source was there.

World knows the login packet structure. It knows what to do with the packets and what to send to the client. You can see the server code that deals with login, not the actual LS source.

Sniffing packets to reverse engineer Minilogin and ignoring how the server handles it is retarded. Lemme know how that works out for ya. Meanwhile, search up some threads on the subject and you'll see it's a dead horse.

[cole89103]

its a dead horse because noones actually done it yet aside from the people who made the loginserver to begin with so dont say it CANT be done

[cole89103]

just because YOU Cant do it doesnt mean it cant be done, the people who dev'ed the loginserver to begin with didnt have anything to go on but the crypto to begin with and look what they accomplished

[Theeper]

I never said it can't be done and I have no desire to try and turn Minilogin into a public LS. I use it like it was intended.

It's a dead horse because it's been beat to death in too many threads over the years.
