You sure you don't mean Wireshark? (It was renamed.) I was going to try that at some point, but manual guessing ended up being easier for the simple ones. Not sure if I would've gotten ClassA without "cheating", as it were, though. Ethereal? You sure you don’t mean Wireshark? (It was renamed.)

I simply just looked at all the HTTP GET requests GPGNet was sending. They were: Expert.png Master.png ClassA.png gpgnet.png (oddly this doesnt exist) system.png thq.png admin.png betachamp.png It only requests on a need to know basis. So there was no request for grandmaster.png for instance (because no one is a grandmaster). I used a program called Ethereal which is a packet monitoring program.

If so, how? I wouldn't have thought of that in a long, long time. Were you going to guess classa? If so, how? I wouldn’t have thought of that in a long, long time.

No luck yet. The rank names do seem to be the same as those used in Chess rankings, hence why I tried Neophyte .. In addition to some of those, I’ve tried veteran, major, sergeant, and neophyte.
