Server Help

Hey ppl. After fixing my encryption issues I decided to try an encrypted session and this time I get the correct reliable response, but I dont get any password response

My logs include general program progress, packet and encryption logs.

Something wrong with attachment. Hmm IE and FF don't seem to like the space in the file name. Anyways, it looks like you are encrypting/decrypting fine. You spoof reply is good, but the server is booting you without telling you why. Perhaps you should check the server log for any info.

It would help if you removed the 0x from your dumps, exactly 2 characters per byte (not 4) and make each line 2 byte chunks, 32 bytes per line with offsets, like this:

00: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
10: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000

00: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000

00: 0000 0000 0000 00

What are the first two chard in each line?

Offset in the packet in hex. That is, the first byte of the packet is offset 0, the first byte of the next line is offset 32 (decimal), oops should be 20 (hex). You could also add ASCII translation for all bytes between 32 and 127, for example

Code: Show/Hide

00: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 .........blah blah..............
20: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................................

00: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ...X...Y..Z.

00: 0000 0000 0000 00 .......

Heh - sorry but I still dont get it. Might be a bit slow.

Anyways - I connected to Smongs server and he gave me access to ?lastlog. When I connect unencrypted I get this from the log:

Code: Show/Hide

D <net> [pid=7] new connection from (IP).(IP).(IP).(IP):1136
D <core> [pid=7] login request denied: bad VIE client version

I'm really puzzled by this since I'm using 0x86 at the client version byte which, according to SOS' packet list, should translate to subspace 1.34 and 1.35

When I connect encrypted I get this:

Code: Show/Hide

D <net> [pid=8] new connection from (IP).(IP).(IP).(IP):1306
D <net> [] [pid=8] reliable packet with too big delta (-715719330 - 0)

So my encryption must be wrong after all cause the packets in the log look alright to me?

Well the first problem is that either the zone doesn't allow VIE or your bot is not a smod/sysop.

I have checked the source, you can only get 'bad VIE client version' if the enc type is VIE and the version in the login packet is not 134.
Since this is asss and it allows VIE by default I think the negative rel id indicates that the bot isn't encrypting properly.
