Hi Guys,
I need help from the experts on this. I have a client program on my computer that connects to servers and sends information and commands and receives data. It's like a chat client (that's one of its functions) and it has a nice GUI. I want to write my own interface for the program, though, so I need to find a way to sort of intercept the information coming from the servers and mimic the information that would come from the real client. Is there a way to figure this out just by having the program on the computer? The data is probably (definitely) encrypted.
Is there another way to do this? Could I somehow read the information that's displayed on the screen and then deal with that info in my program? I'd need to simulate mouseclicks then, and I don't know how to do that. I'm a good programmer as far as algorithms and code and whatnot are concerned, but I know nothing about internet-aware programs in C++ and I don't know enough about hacking stuff to be able to figure out how this program talks to the servers.
If this wasn't clear, let me know. This is a small but crucial part of a really important project, so I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks,
Michael
