Reading Network Packets

[Antithott]

Hi

Im hoping to try and understand how reading network packets for information works, and is looking for either examples i can do in Real Time, or some guides as to how i write this?

More exaclty i wanna read specific packets send from a online game, and retrieve item data and save it to a Sql DB.. The Sql part is no problem, but i dont really know how to break into the Reading of packets thing.

you need to look into sockets and remoting. Since the game will be sending a packet on a certain port you will need that to intercept the messages apart from that you will need some threading but it is simple enough and lots of examples can be found on Google.

Hmm, Would it be easier to hook into the game and somehow read the numbers at specific location in the Exe files.. I can find those with Tsearch..

If i have the locations in the Exe files from where to grab data, would it be hard to pull out these informations somehow?
