Reverse engineering is not all binaries and byte-code. The black art also extends to networks and unobtainable game servers.
In this talk, Joseph will discuss the gruesome details of how he dug through the graveyards of console binaries and the mausoleums of forgotten network protocols – all completed in IOActive’s new state-of-the-art hardware lab – in order to stitch together the pieces necessary to bring his favourite game back to life. Joseph will examine the process of reverse engineering the game’s custom network protocols, from packet logs to low-level disassembly of client code.
