low level client mods?

[lucid 0]

Hey guys,

 

there is something I've always wondered while diffing clients or manually hex-editing. It's easy enough
to find and replace a hex code, but how were the codes found in the
first place? Is there a way to decompile/debug the ragexe, or was there a
source leak by gravity? I couldn't find any information like that, but clearly it's out there.

 

For now, I want to create a freewalk client, and maybe work on packet encryption. But I also want to experiment, learn what is possible and what isn't.

 

Could someone point me in the right direction?

codes were decompiled/analyzed, by various programs, like IDA/ollydbg, and studied how it works, and are manipulated accordingly.

There aren't any source leaks of clients yet by Gravity(that would be awesome if that happens )

interesting, I thought C reversing/analyzing tools weren't that powerful. I have much to learn, too bad I didn't start 5 years ago..
