Profile files, and 'hacking' them...

Postby madkat » Sat Dec 17, 2005 5:54 pm

OK, so I was bored...

So I figured if all the config files are plain text, maybe the profile files are too.

Well, nearly. They're 'garbled'.

So I ungarbled them

One question remains - is the "key" the same for all Darwinias, or is it generated at install? In either case it would be easy to derive the code from a file.

Can someone send me the contents of one of their profile files, so I can see if it's the same? (And if not, code up the bit that determines the "key"?) :D

Oh, thanks :-)

The verb "to hack" is not limited to access of a computer system.

You need to decrypt it, edit it, and encrypt it back.

Soon, You'll be able to do this:
