Seems as if Bnet's up to it again

[Yegg]

Yeah so, BNLS, BNCSutil, and JBLS all work again, high five.

Unfortunately bots using BNLS will have to be updated. Can't use EternalChat anymore :/.

gunna miss eternalchat =(

It will most likely be updated.

Actually, I just thought of this earlier today, the BNLS.dll used by EternalChat I am guessing is the only thing that would need to be updated. I'm sure Spht wouldn't mind fixing it whenever he has some free time.

fyi BNLS.dll is a renamed BnetAuth.dll

Only renamed? Doesn't BNLS.dll use BNLS while bnetauth.dll uses hashing?

BNLS.dll doesn't use BNLS, it is a renamed BnetAuth.dll, the fact that a file is named something has nothing to do with the functions of the file

Shadow stop acting like you're so smart, tell us how you KNOW bnls.dll is a renamed bnetauth?

Alright fleet- dick sucker, here ya go! I love it when people like you try to make it seem like I don't know what I'm talking about.

The only thing that needs to be changed to achieve this result is hex editing BNLS.dll at the end of the file into bnetauth.dll. In case you don't know what that means:

Does this mean EternalChat bot can still be used without needing any of its code? For instance, grab an updated bnetauth.dll, rename it as BNLS.dll, or something to this extent and expect EternalChat to once again connect to Battle.net? Or, am I completely off?

By the way, nice work on figuring out that BNLS.dll was just a rename of bnetauth.dll.

Wow... I never even thought of that, I wonder why....

well eternalchat uses bnls so i don't know what the need for the library is in the first place, but as long as eternalchat parses the mpq file name correctly, it should work either way..

This was what I was unsure of. Does EternalChat.exe do the parsing? Or does BNLS.dll?

eternalchat, bnetauth doesn't have a function for parsing the file.

As to get-the-number-to-the-left-of-the-dot method, who's to say they're not going to start with ver-1-IX86.mpq?  So before you discount Joe too much, give him a break.

OMG maybe they'll change it to Lol-Faggots-3-STFU-NOOB.mpq

[Hdx]

Ohh oh simple answer!
Modulize it!
Or!
Configurize it! (is that a word?)
Basically, make the users have access to how your bot grabs the MPQ number in the future!
And then jsut use the .-1 method for now, because it works. Fix it later when it breaks!

My guess is that Spht (and me too) didn't like the idea of sending unencrypted passwords over the internet, and the broken SHA-1 alg's weren't public at the time?  Dunno.

That or he's just retarded.  If you're including the file in the first place might as well support local hashing.

Where does it end, making it so you can change packet headers in case b.net decides to change them?  Making the format of every single packet sent configurable?!  The parsing of them?!

It's really not worth it IMO
