Encryption

What is so good about having a client that is 5017+?

And this encryption......what is it?

Its blowfish + a DH-Key exchange for all I know.

Some say it's complicated, others say it's not what it's cracked up to be. I really don't know.

Chances of you getting it though: Slim to none.

What's good about having a client 5017+? You'd be able to run a server using the official client/ patch. The encryption is the login packet, which is encrypted with the dh key exchange, to make a proxy/ private server, you have to decrypt it to login. That's basically all, without details.

I still dont get why you would go past 5017 nothing is new as far as i see

Not that any of the new content compares with the CO1 days. :p

Indeed, but still the greatest quantity

quantity indeed, wish they would go for quality instead.

Ninjas = new patch.

Oh darn, forgot about that one. Do you want to find me the place in asm where it keeps waiting for the handshake packet? (Or whatever kept it hanging before, lol) That way I could just disable the encryption fully and go on from there. xD

That'd be epic, other than the fact that it'd kind of be weird to use it.
If you do use it for a new public server, every server could upgrade to the new client, using your client. And the fact that you'd have to disable the handshake for every new patch you upgrade to :p

If you use it for yourself... uhhh... why? It'd just be a private server on localhost; I guess if you want to "play with yourself" its okay ;)

I dont get why people who have the Encryption dont at least least try to help the rest of us by guiding us though with it

I don't know either.
Reasons could be:
1)People are selfish,
2)They are just plain assholes :D,
3)They feel we should do it ourselves to learn,
4)They don't think we should have it because we're noobs.

I dont think they should just Release it but make a guide about how to do it so that we learn in the process

Or it could just be that people are lazy bastards. You've already been told it's Blowfish + DH exchange, but you've probably made no, or little effort to actually try and implement it. In the end, you're all just after one of us "selfish plain assholes" to do the damn thing for you, hypocritical bastard. There's really nothing else you need to know, other than the initial blowfish key, and anyone with 5 minutes experience debugging software could find that.

You're not going to learn shit by having someone else do it for you. There's no point in me writing passages of text describing the two algorithms when they're already widely avaliable if you know how to use a bloody search engine.

So yeah, the reason I don't give it to people, is because I dislike people who can't think for themselves. The people with any form of intelligence here are more than capable of doing it themselves, and I don't mind helping those. I'm not going to help anyone who hasn't even attempted a fucking thing.
