Packet 0x5C Information

[UserLoser]

Anyone know what it does and what it's for?  It's send after 0x51.  I've only seen it so far on Warcraft III.

0000  FF 5C 08 00 33 52 41 57                            .\..3RAW

Any ideas?

The client is obviously just reminding the server that it is WAR3 so it doesnt forget.

But anyways, I managed to ipban myself by sending that after fully logging in, so don't anybody else try it except right after 0x51. >.<

Does it have a response?

Well, when I packet log Warcraft III, I never see and thing recieved, when I send it logging in, there was no reponse.  I think it could be to request if there are any tournaments for that product.  And yesterday, I do remember seeing a message saying something about a tournament.

That would make sense since my bot has never recieved an unhandled packet when tournaments are going on, and does not send that.  I was wondering how the client knew tournaments were happening!

If it requires no response, then it is not very important in the login sequence. Tourny info might make sense, except it is a very short packet and there is no non hex information to the right of it, giving spacific information.

Why would it need any more info than the client?  Also, 'to the right of it' is a DWORD, not a string.
