Silencer

Home

Silencer is another WON game. When the WON servers went down oh so many years ago, Silencer went down with them. Someone asked about it on the forums, and I got interested (it's all an adventure to me). Silencer was an exercise in reverse engineering a Windows binary, and it's what got me started on that speciality. The objective was to strip out the WON authentication so that people could play games. A perfect solution wasn't expected by me at least (I can't say the same for the community), and the current patch is both rickety and lacking in security. I keep hearing that Mind Crontrol Studios (them's the makers) are going to release the source code. But it keeps not happening. There are fan remakes being attempted, but I am not involved in any. I have however documented some of the file formats, and somewhere out there is a luibrary I wrote that converted all the sprites into PNGs. I've included the docs here; more invested parties can always find me to extract more.
