SRL Archive - RS has been updated.

Sneaky move from our beloved Corporation:

Wow. Kinda a scare for a second. Just traded 4k or so of something over.

Ohh nice catch Fawki!

ROFL, I pwnd Jagex xD. I overwrited the UID.dat file and set it to read only. It worked. It stays at 0kb!

Lol, for me its still in .file_store32 ? ;O

Yeah, that's probably the old one.

I noticed this last night. I deleted the uid.dat, then loaded up RS. The file wasn't re-created, which left me wondering what was going on.

Thanks for clearing that up Fakawi. :)

well this is what iv noticed…

i had a UID in the old .file_store32, when i load up the applet, nothing changes

i delete the UID, load the applet again, .file_store stays, but i get a new folder called Jagex_cache, with a single file inside, UID

i delete the entire .file_store32, and load the applet again, i get a new folder called jagex_cache with UID and all the other signed applet files

conculsion: they have changed to another folder, but they still check for the old folder, they only move if the old folder isnt detected,
this could mean that legit players who dont know about UID.dat could have the old folder for years to come

hmmm… they could have other folders to that we don't know about…
edit: i don't have that folder, just looked… weird

Thanks Fakawi, I was just looking for my UID file the other day.. :)

What exactly is the UID..? :S

yah i noticed the new folder yesterday morning…

the UID is a file that when u connect to the rs client thingy ma-bob….u get the file there and it tells jagex who's loged in on that computer and blah blah….just its safer if its not there :tongue:

Has anyone ever read a uid.dat? My understanding is that dat is a file extension for anything, and it only can be read if you know what created it. Do we know?

i think we would find out because those java people who deobfuscate the client would look thought it and see where it stores the UID this time

its encrypted with java so only other java can read it, but iv heard its only a serial number, like 4545567

Meh, i beter update my plugin soon :)

Haha I seriously pwnd it! I overwirted one and set it to Read Only, then it showed up in another location. I kept doing that (about 5 times or so) and now Jagex can't give me a UID xD

I did that too, but UID havent popped up anywhere. Perhaps u could tell where to look?

Just do a system search for UID.dat.

my 87 main just thanked you for this

yah i made the file read only then they moved the jagex_store_32 file out of the WINDOWS file and into jsut the main cdrive files….i got a question…is that legal for jagex to do though?? moving our files around?

It's a big-endian random integer written out to a file.

            try
            {
                File file1 = new File(file, "uid.dat");
                if(i1 == 1 && (!file1.exists() || 4L > file1.length()))
                {
                    int l1 = -1;
                    Random random = new Random();
                    for(; -1 == l1; l1 = random.nextInt());
                    DataOutputStream dataoutputstream = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file1));
                    dataoutputstream.writeInt(l1);
                    dataoutputstream.close();
                }
                if(file1.exists())
                {
                    flag = true;
                    DataInputStream datainputstream = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(file1));
                    c = 1 + datainputstream.readInt();
                    datainputstream.close();
                }
                break label0;
            }
            catch(Exception exception1) { }

If the .file_store_32 copy of a file exists, it will use that one. Finding the new folders is as simple as this:

        as1 = (new String[] {
            ".jagex_cache_" + arg1, ".file_store_" + arg1
        });

Cool. So do we know exactly what information is recorded and when?

Yeah, for UID. Otherwise it depends on what kind of information you're talking about.

hmm so i take it it would be in my best interest to make the UID read only?

Not really, you want to have a different UID for every runescape character that you own so there is nothing to link them together.

When I auto, I play un-signed, would that draw any attention since the UID is randomly generated? When I un-flag my characters or play legit, I have a file with each of my players UID's in it, and I put the players UID into the Jagex folder. Would this decrease my chances of getting banned?

What about making a blank file called UID.dat and making it read only? That way they can't make the UID.dat?

theres a method in the java class File which can check for that

 boolean 	canWrite()
          Tests whether the application can modify to the file denoted by this abstract pathname.

i think they might get suspitous if they cant write to their own UID file
