Hehehe, I decrypted a file that was called by their patcher, and it produced a plaintext username and password which I then used to log into their FTP server using the IP address the patcher connected to. That's what happens when you don't use proper encryption, and place your assets on the same file server that a public client connects to.

This is why I'm now an enterprise WAN Data technician.
