3D Frog Frenzy resource.dat file
Posted: Wed Nov 13, 2013 1:49 pm
Hi,
I'm trying to look inside the 3D Frog Frenzy "RESOURCE.DAT" file, however, a look with a hex viewer indicates some form of encryption. 3D Frog Frenzy is an awesome game, and for a small project I'm porting it to use JS/canvas, so it will run on new systems, but this file contains graphics, sounds, etc.
I've attempted to use a DreamKiller quickbms script to decrypt/extract the archive, but to no avail. I get the following
This lead me to think that the archive was either compressed (hence the zlib reference) or encrypted. I attempted using various zlib libraries to in/deflate the RESOURCE.DAT file, but all attempts failed.
I've seen a suggestion that the RESOURCE.DAT might be a hidden .cab file, but cabextract spits errors, and the headers aren't wrong. Because I can't use a known plaintext on the first several bytes compared to what they should be (so not RC4 or anything similar), I'm guessing that AES is (likely) used, or a similar function.
Binaries and data files are available on request, thanks.
