Speaker Notes

Nate (d2checksum)

This month I spoke about the Diablo 2 saved game file checksum. This checksum is used to protect the saved character file that stores all of our game information such as completed quests and also character info like level, money, items, etc. Before you can modify the file you'll have to be able to compute the final checksum. The following is initial PoC work I did in preparation for future D2 projects and eventual D3 work.
