Trying to understand .idx and .bin files #16

Closed DeadlyMissile closed 1 year ago

DeadlyMissile commented 1 year ago

So I extracted this .dat folder and found a single .idx file with a bunch of .bin files. I couldnt make sense of the content. Maybe they are encrypted or compressed? I would appreciate your help here!

Attached some samples: https://file.io/JGvaizmsfbRb

Both of these files seem to be encrypted. What game they are from? Also how did you extract this ".dat folder"?

@bartlomiejduda Thank you for replying!

A game called Call of Dragons.

Also how did you extract this ".dat folder"?

I simply used 7zip.

Btw how did you know it was encrypted and not, like, compressed?

Just an educated guess based on many file samples I've seen in the past.

A game called Call of Dragons.

It is an MMO game. It's likely to have anti-debug protection, so it can be really hard to reverse engineer encryption method for your samples.

So there is no hope :( ?
