right key calculation?

Freak.2k · Post by **Freak.2k** » 2004-10-05 14:45

Hello,

can someone check, if my key is calculated right?
Lock: testlock
Key: 97 11 61 70 81 30 C0 80 (Hex values)

after I send the key and validatenick to the hub, I get disconnected....

Visit http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/wiki/ ... /LockToKey where we have several working lock to key programs. You should be able to check with any of those code-examples.

I think my key is correct.
But after I send "$Key <key>|$ValidateNick <Nick>|" I get disconnected
the dc hub says "Dropping unknown connection (null)"

what can this be?

1) Don't think. Make sure the key its correct.

2) Compare it with dc++ loggin in.

OK...my key is wrong

But i tried everything. I can't find any mistake in my code.
I tried other code snippets from this forum, but nothing works.
Does anyone have a 100% working c# code to generate the key?

thx

Post your code and someone mught be able to find the problem with it .

Preferably a link to the code, rather than the code itself. The word wrapping here will maake the code unreadable.

Here is my code :

I think

Code: Select all

return (byte)(((KeyByte << 4) & 0xF0) | ((KeyByte >> 4) & 0x0F));

should be replaced with

Code: Select all

return (byte)(((KeyByte << 4) & 240) | ((KeyByte >> 4) 15));

(This is the values the example is telling to use and the values I use in c++)

Also, I'm not sure that your approatch to load the KeyBytes array works properly but I'm not sure (that approach caused problems for me in c++ but I'm not sure how C# handes it).
Anyway I would suggest to use

Code: Select all

 KeyBytes += (byte)(LockBytes[i] ^ LockBytes[i - 1]);

and eighter initalize the string with " " and then replace that element in the next stage using wathevere function C# has for that or just insert a new character in fron of the string (don't initialize the string to anything if you use this approach). I'm not sure what C# has for function for this eighter but in C++ the first is .replace and the second .insert

F0 hex = 240 decimal, and 0F hex = 15 decimal. At least his numbers are correct....

it works now.
It was a conversation problem.
When I converted the key-string to a byte array (for sending over the socket), some characters were converted wrong by the .Net Runtime!
I wrote my own conversation method...now it works fine
