Okay. I need to know how to read packets (sry, excuse my newness). I need to know...
a) where to find and identify the packet [ i.e. 0x05 ]
b) how to find what is a dword, ntstring, etc.
This is a sample log I have taken, and I would appreciate it if you could analyze it and break it down, and show me how to read it.

You can easily find the answers to all your questions with just a little bit of effort on your part.
I don't see anything on reading packets...
I don't want to know about BNET packets, I want to know how to read packets in general.

That's really beyond the scope of Battle.net Bot Development and should be asked in the General Programming forum.
a DWORD is any 4 bytes beside each other
a WORD is any 2 bytes
a BYTE is .. a byte.
a ntstring is any length of characters with a null (00) at the end
That's the most basic, how to convert a dword to a decimal number is a little different, but I'll let somebody else answer that.
OK, how would I identify the packet ID? i.e. 0x26
Would this be 0x1C? I saw the FF 1C, just a guess.
ALSO, Is there a program that will find the DWORDS, WORDS, NTSTRINGS, and all the other er uh 'things' :-p for me? I.e. it will analyze the data and say, "This is a DWORD", etc.
A program has no way of knowing what data type a packet is, unless of course it recognizes the packet.
What is so hard about this?

The BNet packet header is 0xFF PacketID(BYTE) Length(WORD)...
which makes 0x1C the packet id, 0x5F00 the length, and everything after that the data.
A DWORD is 4 bytes, following FF 1C 5F 00 there is a possible dword (4 bytes) 00 00 00 00 which is displayed as .... in plain text format.
the first 4 bytes (FF 1C 5F 00) are the packet header
0xFF is always going to be the first byte in a BNCS packet
0x1C is the packet id
0x005F (in network order) is the packet length (including the packet header)
you want to look at the packet length (in this case, 0x5F is 95 in decimal), and count up that number of bytes
then, go to bnetdocs and look up s->c 0x1C
split up the packet based on the types
(Byte) FF
(Byte) 1C
(Word) 5F 00
(QWord) 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
(Word) 02 00
(Word) 01 00
(DWord) 1F 00 00 00
(DWord) 00 00 00 00
(NTString) 70 62 6F 74 74 65 73 74 69 6E 67 32 30 30 33 00 00 2C 34 34 2C 31 34 2C 36 2C 32 2C 32 2C 31 2C 36 32 30 65 33 63 31 33 65 20 4C 6F 73 74 20 54 65 6D 70 6C 65 0D 00
Thanks a lot for all your help!

0x005F (in network order) is the packet length (including the packet header)
Every numerical value transmitted on the wire and not as a string representation of a number is little endian with the Battle.net protocol.

more specificly, in network order ;)
Isn't network order Big Endian?
Yes, this confirms it:
Quotenetwork order is the only one in this collection which contains the additional initials "pp"
network order is "big
network order is backed by the petals network guarantee of satisfaction
network order is big
network order is 0 1
network order is %u\n

network order is a list of attributes or value pairs set on the processes
network order is submitted to the ddmgateway process to execute a network order policy
network order is any order coming from a yahoo
network order is big endian
network order is little
network order is host order
network order is different on
network order is the same as host order
network order is > big endian without a formal proof
network order is submitted
network order is 13 episodes
network order is in hand
network order is assured
network order is equivalent to big
network order is different from intel's host byte order

network order is based on an expansion of the familiar class of series
network order is msb of each octet
network order is important mostly when transmitting data over a network

No, network byte order is just the opposite (big endian). Using network byte order for the Battle.net protocol is
exactly wrong.
