A place for research? #1

Any thoughts on a place to log findings?

You've probably seen this yourself, but I noticed the console is sending a "ping" of 5 bytes of zeros. As long as the client responds back with the same, the server keeps the connection open (I confirmed it with a toy client).

Just thought I'd share this small tidbit. Fantastic blog post!

Hmmm, it would be nice to be able to post somewhere easily. GitHub isn't the easiest place to comment on/annotate binary dumps, though it will be the easiest place to collab on code.

Options:

That's great that you were able to get a standalone client working. I did the same with Go earlier but even with the 5 byte NULL packets I was responding with, my PS4 would close the connection. Wonder what I'm doing wrong (difference with the node setup - connections are kept half-open).

Perhaps github pages + jekyll? A bunch of markdown files. Or maybe gitbook?

@rgbkrk if you send a keep_alive before you get a connect_accept the server will disconnect you it seems, the client also seems to drop its connection through certain actions. A go port might be pretty fun to play with.

Another repo? pipboyspec?

I love that idea! It can be platform agnostic in its spec, and we can link to it from various repos (as can anyone else working on this).

I created https://github.com/mattbaker/pipboyspec and added you both as collaborators.

Nice tip, I didn't realize that
