Just thinking, I know sounds crazy but RE seems like a whole lot of trial and error, wouldn't it be cool for an algorithm to brute force a game using outstanding GPU power, I can only imagine the power of 10x RTX 3090 GPU all working 24/7 for months on getting a client to respond to private server. Thoughs? Critisism? :p

Well while that sounds great in theory, most decent networked programs will have some type of defense against packet flooding. (e.g. a set number of possible connection attempts from a given IP address). You could incorporate your GPU into a decryption guessing program, but someone's probably already written a program to do that so it wouldn't be new.

Just feel like with so much new computing power, we still cannot revive 10 years + old, dead mmorpg with offline servers. Its really a shame that so many good games will be lost for ever. Its such a waste, devs rather kill the game then release the server source publicly. Offered 50k to the company for server files of 10 + year old dead game and they don't even bother with chump change.

My head already hurts watching the Icarus thread on MMOExtra.
It's already growing stronger in this thread.

Do you even know how emulators work? You need to apply some actual logic in-between the packets from C->S or S->C
They're not something you can brute force. And if you have actual RE skills, it's not all about Trail and Error. That's the old school way of getting things done.

Well,in theory its possible to brute force it,but its take too much time. Billion years at least. And its still useless without first RE for timestamps,since almost all mmo use them as keys and won't handle flood poop anyway. Even with complete RE for packet structure,packet data and its handlers its take alot time for find out,which data used for and there is no way to brute force it. Anyway its just useless,since in most cases you can't really check what work and what aren't work,unless its visible,but many data have nothing to do with visible things,so accuracy for this too low for this purpose. Well,at least with this we can see,how many ppl have no idea how things works,so they think 10 3090 can make all work without human interaction. Well,its not gonna happens.
