Understanding ECards

Post by BitingBummer »

Hello,
I'm trying to write my own customized client.
I have a problem with understanding the ECards on the response.
I saw that there are four cards in there, and a salt.
I understood that you run a sha256 algorithm on the salt and then xor it with the value of the card.
But I'm unable to get to the original card value.
What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

I don't publish the client/server protocol. It's subject to change at any update.

I understand.
What is the meaning of the session key, if the enable session keys option on the server configuration is disabled?

Session keys are always enabled. What option are you referring to?

You can still generate and use session keys even if the requirement is disabled. It just means that both regular password logins and session key logins are allowed.
