Reverse engineering the cache files, part 1

Filed under: EVE-Central — Yann @ 9:39 pm

So, I’m doing it after all. Reverse engineering the cache files. The format is actually surprisingly simple once you determine the identifiers of all the data fields (and their lengths). No reverse compiling or digging into the EVE runtime was performed, simply educated guesses and a knowledge of CPython internals.

Progress is good. Relevant data identified. More results to be posted, and then an open source code release :)
