Matombo Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 So the main problem running Skylords reborn through wine is the launcher because it requires .net. My suggestion is to open source the lancher or release an update-api-documentation so that someone can write a Linux and Mac compatible launcher.

fiki574 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Unfortunately, not gonna happen. Would open up every single abusing possibility, plus you would have an insight in ours and Battleforge's architecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matombo Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Please elaborate more. Quote Would open up every single abusing possibility Abusing the launcher i can only imagin ddos the server or replacing credits. Without having looked into the launcher: first i can imagin would also be easily possible by finding the server url/ip with wireshark. For second: one could just replace strings and/or images in the assembled binary, would not be perfect but good enough. Quote insight in ours and Battleforge's architecture Is there are reason why you are protective about the update and login process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubik Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 are you talking about same application? @Matombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I explained it right here, I'm sorry but it seems like you don't understand even the basic concepts of guaranteed security issues caused by proposed open sourcing. Auction house bot, PvE farming bot, chat message spamming, ingame mail spamming, group request spamming, show deck request spamming... the list goes on. Don't even get me started on what's wrong with exposing client part of authentication process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is skilled enough and wants to make a compatible launcher, he should apply to join our team as developer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To claryfy: I was talking about the new updater that is written with .net 4.61. The launcher i think works fine.

I was not talking about open sourcing the whole project, but only specifically the the SkylordsRebornUpdater.exe I don't think that has anything to do with auction house, chat, etc. On 2/8/2020 at 11:45 AM, MephistoRoss said: If someone is skilled enough and wants to make a compatible launcher, he should apply to join our team as developer. If one could apply to just doing that? Maybe I can find a free weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updater, as far as I know, does not have any sensitive data apart from our endpoints from which it downloads the game files. Best bet would be to wait Aviator and/or Hawk, since they made it and maintain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneHawk Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 It's not gonna happen anyway, we're already working on a new version of that same updater that will be compatible with all OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great to hear! Thanks PS.: I'm not convinced by the security through obscurity aproach to stop hackers, but lets hope for the best ^^.
