| PaiD | I wanted to see what other protocol ids there where, so I started to play around and found this. Anyone know what it is/does? 0x00 - Disconnected 0x01 - Games 0x02 - FTP 0x03 - Telnet 0x04 - Disconnected 0x05 - Disconnected 0x06 - Connected (Unknown) This is what I recieved when I connected (after some more reconnects, I found that this changes) [code] 0000: 7A CD 40 D9 zÍ@Ù............ [/code] | February 9, 2006, 9:41 AM |
| Ringo | Odd, the W3 Demo server also supports this protocol.. I Sent 0x50 to USWest after the protocol byte, and it disced me: [code] 17 CB 5E 3A ..^: DC 08 6D 62 E5 27 E8 DD 04 8F 28 65 FF E7 19 AB ..mb.'....(e.... EB 22 25 65 50 4A 2A DB ."%ePJ*. [/code] I get nothing but random data back, and the 1st responce doesnt always get sent hmm, let us know what you find out with this, it may be somthing interesting. At a glance tho, the 4 byte responce to the protocol byte, i would guess is a server token of some kind. | February 9, 2006, 9:55 AM |
| PaiD | Want to send me the W3 Demo? Edit: I think it is some kind of Server-to-Server connection | February 9, 2006, 9:58 AM |
| Ringo | http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/war3/demos/Warcraft3_Demo.zip The server is 63.241.83.103:6112 (same as bnet protocol, but theres no chat and all fields in all packets other than account login is ignored) If the data from it isnt random, i would say its compressed or encrpyted :( | February 9, 2006, 10:03 AM |

| LordNevar | I'm not positive, but isn't this the connection that's used by Battle.net Reps? The information that your recieving is probably a decline message. I believe this is what Techbot uses in (Blizzard Tech Support) on USWest. | February 10, 2006, 1:44 AM |

[/quote] Why would Blizzard even expose publically a protocol used by reps when it would be infinitesimally more secure to just associate account names with Blizzard rep standing? It's highly more likely that this particular protocol is used for interserver communication. | February 10, 2006, 11:12 PM |
| UserLoser | Btw, I should have mentioned that the ability of being a "Blizzard Representative" on Battle.net is held by the flags stored in the account database. I won't mention how, or who, but this was proved in the past through a now patched exploit in a few of Battle.net's servers & is also the reason why Blizzard Representatives use the Blizzard namespace | February 11, 2006, 6:30 AM |
