I might release it one of these days since at this point it's basically superseded by their normal login process. Login is kind of a pain on linux atm and I'd like to see it be easier to build but I'll have to think about it.

Can you clear up this whole deal? From what I can understand reading old threads someone cracked the crypto Live used and gave it to the eqemu devs on the condition it not be distributed (because it would endanger live accounts). (in other words we are insecurely authenticating to eqemu?)

Is the reason we cannot authenticate securely using more modern methods due to constraints in the client? (being we can't patch it)

A separate note - someone I talked to mentioned passing around binaries like this may violate crypto export laws?

Excuse my ignorance on the subject. I'm really curious more than anything.
