[Bnet Client] Reading "wow chat" directly from the battle net executable?

[Annomaly]

Has anyone given any thought to this?

My goal here is to create a library for interacting with the battle net chat client. With the end goal being a private chat app for my phone that receives forwarded traffic.

It also seems safer than reading/writing to the wow process directly; not to mention it's lighter weight in this case to have it running 24/7.

Would it not be easier to try and emulate the battle.net client? Sounds a bit excessive to require it to be running on a computer.

All of the chat data is encrypted via SSL.=(

Emulating battle.net is not a simple task at all.

I agree, i started with the analysis of the login protocol some time ago. But stopped it, since it was too time consuming. But you can check this thread if you are interesting in the BNET login packets.

The Battle.net client uses Qt, so I'd start with something like using a custom QNetwork.dll to monitor the traffic. Difficult task for sure but easier than something like reversing WoW.
