So I'm looking to explore some of the data files and scripting for the 2013 remake of Shadow Warrior (PC version). The data is packed into ".bin" files which are just password-protected ZIP files.
So I'm thinking it should be possible, somehow, to figure out what the password(s) is/are since the game itself needs it to decrypt the data, right?
I already tried the obvious stuff, like digging out any strings from the EXE and trying those in a dictionary attack. I'm thinking maybe some way to intercept the point where it actually decrypts the data in memory? Hook the file access somehow? Am I just barking up the wrong tree here? Any tips on how to go about this would be appreciated.
Bonus, for what it's worth, the game data is encrypted but the save files are not... so there's already tons of possibilities tinkering with those.
