Eosian Wrote:Just to clear a random misconception; Themida is a PE (portable executable, not packet editor) packager, not an anti-hacking tool. It's the executible equivalent of a zipping the binary so it's harder to reverse engineer, it's passive and doesn't "check" anything, simply obfuscates, or tries to. UnThemida and various other tools can dump the raw executable as readily as from a zip file too and leave the application wide open for exploratory reversal.
Actually it was proven in the past you could just NOOP past the pin check and have the pseudo-client just skip straight to the world select. The PIC is different in that it occurs further down the chain and prevent access to individual characters, instead of the account itself, so it's uncertain whether a modified client could successfully bypass it, or would fail authentication where the PIN did not.
I vaguely remember stripping something from the client (possibly Themida?) would cause you to fail to pass character selection. But thinking it over, no I don't think it's Themida.
Anyway, the only way that you can't send a different character ID and login into bisubuild would be if PIC was sent to the Channelserver, which is (really reaaally) unlikely.
If anyone does code a pseudo-client (all it does would be login, open a trade to some character, wait for trade accept, then put in meso and lock trade, wait for trade finish and exit), they would need to emulate HackShield's heartbeat.
