The trick to filters is making a client-sided filter that does something serverside. All filters are client-sided in reality, but their effects are serverside.

moved to general.

Exactamundo.

Server-side filters aren't really encrypted though, they're just preceeded by a hash of some sort, then the packet # (the number of packets sent since you logged into CokeStudios), which *must* be correct in order for the packet to be accepted by the servers. As of yet, we haven't figured out how to generate these hashes.

All "serverside" hacks are in reality, clientside hacks, which in turn cause your client to send a correct serverside packet, complete with the generated hash and number, in order to create a serverside effect.

Hope that elaborates a bit on Chris' comment.
