The aim of encryption is to make the task of brute force attack take virtually forever. In this case, that is directly related to the size of the key. A 32-bit key can create 4 billion possible keystreams. It doesn't matter how long they are, only that they are as long as the data. Double the number of bits in the key, and you square the number of combinations (64 bit key = 16 quintillion combinations).
You really need to stop trying to implement encryption code or pretend you are an expert (ie make false claims because "someone told you something") until you understand it. You've spent well over 6 months now doing nothing but telling everyone who knows more than you that you are smarter than them, and you are still not past the very basics.

Have you run any tests to prove this? I thought when connecting to SSC the player's password is encrypted/hashed in some way, so server ops cannot see the plaintext password.

Really? I have not seen any documentation on this protocol, please post some links. |

I don't know where the documentation is... I basically take Catid's SSB2 code as the only docs out there.

No. But getting it back to cleartext isn't the only way to cause fake player havoc on the SSC biller. That I know for a fact. And there is always VIE connection's passwords.
But like I said, I have no desire to do anything of the sort, but the mere fact that it can be done should turn some heads.
