    I was wondering if anyone knows what information is in the random.dat file?
    Apparently the 24 bytes send in the login block, contain the same information as the random.dat file.

    It contains all the information required for Jagex's hitman to choose a random player, come to his house during night and stab him

    Just kidding, I was wondering what it contains as well.

    It used to be the UID, a random value they use to track your computer (so they can see which accounts you are associated with etc). They ban based on UIDs, not your IP address, afaik.

    Now it's 24 bytes idk exactly, but it probably serves a similar purpose.

    It's the equivalent of what UID is in the 317 client.
