I was wondering is it possible to open the file to see its content??

Cos all .dat files can be opened with notepad but only if you used the software it was made in can you view it properly.

Any views??

jagex has encrypted it so, its only a few big squares.

Notepad will open it, but there really isnt any usefull info there,its only less than 4kb, (1kb if you delete it regularly). not enough room to store much info.

true, I was just wondering, what could open it so I could see the content. Thats cos me bro knows his "tampering" and said he could decrypt almost anything..

There is not telling whats in there. It could have all of your usernames in that 1kb file and send it jagex everytime like we suspect it does.

Give it to him so he can decrypt or try to.

Could be a bunch of 1's and 0's in some kinda of table read only server side. For example: Does the account macro? 1.

Haha, just an idea.

hah i just open it then delete the boxes then make it read only so jagex cant read anything from it.

Nice idea lol :p

@XcanadamanX

You mean write anything to it?

And i heard if you do that, they just create one in another place (i think my uid deleter has all reported places covered though)

Sometimes it puts the UID.dat in a folder jagex_cache_34, so watch out for jagex_cache folders.

UID is random number generated by the client to distinguish different computers on the same network.

If you really want i can write a small proggy to read the number, but thats all it is.

Ah, but as many have said.. when you open it everything is encrypted or just rubbish, I am yet to see an actual number or anything "proper" in the file…

Anyhoo thanks guys, I think there is no more need for this thread :p

Open it with the application attached in that post..

UID is just a file with some random crap. It isn't encrypted. You can open the file with any editor.

.dat files open by themselves dont they?
And making the file read only, Does that actully work?

Ok, really quick. Every file is nothing but ones and zeros. EVERY FILE. The ones that look good inn notepad just happen to be the ones and zeros that represent letters. (Ascii or unicode). So, if you open it in notepad and you see boxes, that just means that the ones and zeros were just in an order that notepad didn't recognize as a letter.

So. the work around? A hex editor is probably the easiest way. You can google "hex editor" to get one. They look at the ones and zero's and convert them to hex, (whitch is the same thing, just and easier way to read alot of them), you can wiki "hex code" if you need to too.

SO, inside the hex editor, you will see what numbers, or what patterns of ones and zeros are in their, how you interpret them is up to you. Vargrant's post has a link that shows the actual code used to generate it. So obviusly the menaing is nothing but randomness.

Hope this helps.

that actually explains things pretty well, , but DON"T, make uid,dat read only, all this causes is a different uid file in a different folder,(wont happen imediatly, but it will happen.)(IMHO it probably flags your acc too)the best thing we can do is just delete it regularly(and i change my ip a lot also)
also, when i open uid in a hex editor, i still just get garbage, there has to be a key there somewhere(unreadable garbage just dont make identity of a comp feasable)
and the uid gets larger over time(not much but up to 4kb i have found on mine)

Lol, yeah. That would be useful for Jagex.

the jagex_cache folder is in C:/windows well thats the normal root for it and if it aint in there just do a search through windows that always helps :)

EDIT:
the files and folders within this folder are:
[loginapplet] cache–444661539/main_file_cache.dat2/main_file_cache.idx255
[rsmap] main_file_cache.dat0/main_file_cache.idx0/main_file_cache.idx1
/random/

soo lets see if some one can make out of this??? (or when ya think jagex are watching ya or have ip blocked ya maybe if ya delete these files that will help, maybe i dunno lol :P

I just delete the entire jagex_cache

Not to be harsh or anything mate but your gravedigging. This thread was made in may 2007.

Why do people keep asking? You can open any file you want, no matter how it was created.


I'm not really sure if its encrypted, but have you ever though that notepad might be mistaking the information? Its probably a string of bytes.

And, FYI, 4kb is 4096 bytes. You can store plenty of information in that. Its pretty equivalent to 4000 characters.

btw just so everyone knows there is infintie places jagex puts the uid (or now random.dat) ive even got them in my scar folder.

What folder is it located in?

if you look at the file in hex, and lots of them they don't vary much, it's just a Unique ID

Do you know what folder it's located in?
