To release any kind of loginserver with the crypto would anger the sony gods.
Regardless if you agree with it, thats the way it is.

Anyone can break that crypto with just an ounce of search on the net. KLS said himself on the PEQ forums that he broke it in a matter of mins if I recall correctly. Its not that hard, I've tried it myself and its not like that the crypto.dll can't be found on google or anything
The
ONLY reason to keep the next login server project closed source is for a captive audience. I have no problems with that, but what I do have a problem with is throwing cash out and something happening either irl or in the community to the lead person and not signing over the reigns on the project.
Speaking of which, is it just me or has the ls server been down nearly all day?
