Message: [QUOTE="Tushar, post: 33702, member: 298"] Thats only IF they are encrypting/decrypting. I think its just some kind of hash, they hash a set of variables and send it in cons string to the server, the server does the same (hashes the same vars in same order) and the two strings are compared.Ask yourself, if they were encrypting the data would they need to send the mac-address in cleartext form also? No, coz they could simply DECRYPT the cons to get it, isn't it?Now you may ask why only the mac, well because when all other variables change, the server has it stored. You change your password, the server saves it, your version number is sent in the very first post. So basically they have all other variables stored in their database, and updated if they change.Now consider the mac address, if that changes, which is quite possible and you request them to reset the one in their db and detect the new one, how are they supposed to do that? if the cons string is a HASH, hashing is a one way algorithm, hence they need the mac-address in clear text format.Thats why you can be sure that its a hash and not an encryption...
