dude, Bush is the 43rd president. Unless you're counting the, um, imaginary presidents? Because that changes everything. |

The way I do it is to have the client connect through a proxy that just passes the data back and forth while recording it.
If the client has a configurable server address, that's great, configure it to connect to your proxy instead.
Otherwise, type netstat -a while it's running to see where it connects, and then put entries in your hosts file:
server01.habbo.com 127.0.0.1
... so that it thinks your local machine is habbo.com (then the proxy needs to use the real IP address to connect through).
The main trouble with this approach is if the protocol makes secondary connections, like FTP does, but I think that is pretty rare these days. |

By the way. Would you perhaps know (I am not into "hack/retroengineering" stuff at all) some way to sinff/guess a simple text tcp/ip protocol?
Namely, I am trying to put Isabòt (that froodlike AI) into www.habbo.com , whose protocol of course isn't documented anywhere. |

Yeah, definitely, and this is the case with every popular FPS. All I'm saying is, it doesn't take much to obfuscate the packets every few months so that the hackers need to do a lot of work to keep up with the curve. |

All I know is, not long after the Quake 1 source was GPL'd, the game apparently became unplayable online because of all the cheating. The main problem is that the servers send more information to the client than is supposed to be shown to the player, so if you mess around with the client, you can get it to show you all the locations of players that you are not supposed to. Just altering the packet structure won't do much, because the h4x0rz can just drop in a new packet parser under their ReaperBot. That said, I have no idea what they plan to do for 4 months. |

- Differing versions
- Low market penetrations
Some day, they will, at least if they keep programming in C! |

Of course no one person is going to be able to say that there is *not* any GPL violation... |

That's basically what I'm doing, but I just have a standard command line argument for replacing and deleting files. I was hoping that there'd be a cleaner way, because it's a total non-issue in linux... |

I thought this to be a joke, but I'm not so sure since it appeared on CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/10/03/bush.poem.ap/index.html

I think you should shatter it and then eat the shards. |

Uhm, I would just attach at the end of the main executable, another little executable whose task is to delete the first one.
Once you run the first, it detaches the second one, runs it with it's own full filename as parameter, and closes. This second executable gets the parameter, and deletes the specified file (this being the first executable).
This, if I understood your problem.

> Ha, well, yeah. Apparently there are some of those in the code,
> though I don't know the specifics.
Not that I noticed, and I spent hours looking the code, mesmerized by it, following a C++ function after another.
There's no GPL violation as far I can see... but lots of embarassing(or not?) things like code taken "as it is" from QUAKE 1. And I mean One. Quake number one. A game which is old - 7 years, maybe?
On the other hand, there's code I would be quite frustrated to be unwillingly share with the world. Math and geometry tricks worth a Field Medal, really.
Well...uhm, in the end... shit! I wanted to play HalfLife2 before Christmas :( |

Ha ha, it's not self-modifying code. It's just an "auto-update" feature for Escape, where it downloads a new version of itself and starts that. I guess that's self-modifying, in a sense, but not in a serious sense.
Yeah, C++ does suck a lot. But right now there's no good way to make standalone SDL applications on windows other than to use C++. (The ML port is old, although that guy is working on a new version that may be reasonable!)
Also, I realized that I also need to do this for all of the in-use DLLs. That's going to be even trickier... |
