Blowfish and encoding

[Corentin]

I finally got rid of Moosock in my MMORPG's server (I had some instability with it), I now use a C# script via .Net

Everything seems to work fine, except that I use a blowfish encryption, and the string sent from my client is not received the way it should be :
�Dº6%0D�b7YZÙQ%0Ct–Ì is sent
?D?6%0D?b7YZ?Q%0Ct?? is what I receive in MMF

it's nearly what I want, but I can't decrypt such a string...
I know some of you have worked with Blowfish and external apps, did you run into such problems ? Do you know which encoding I should use (in my StreamReader class) ?

The last option would be to use Blowfish's filtering options, but that would be many characters to filter I guess, do you know which I should filter (0-31, and anything above 127) ?

If your using blowfish in MMF and want to decrypt it with PHP I remember there is some sort of problem doing that.

I can't remember what it was but for some reason the 2 blowfishes couldn't understand each other.

yep I heard something about this too, but there is a recent post stating that it was just something like setting the right parameters in php.

My problem is from MMF to MMF, but this doesn't really change anything, my problem is to find an encoding that give the same results as blowfish does in mmf.

Blowfish is not the problem here, actually, it's just the way my streamreader gets the informations

Interesting on the blowfish.

Sorry I can't help on your question - To be honest I don't understand what you are doing, but I hope someone does as encryption is always interesting to me.

Maybe you know of another encryption extension I could use that would only generate ASCII characters ?

thanks Jamie, I didn't even make a search before asking :blush:

EDIT : This seems perfect indeed ! What algorithm does it use ? It really won't generate any out of ascii value ?

This would be a real relief, thank you very much
