tonberry
a packet inspection tool for final fantasy 14 network traffic.
Tonberry is a desktop application I created to intercept and dissect packets from the video game Final Fantasy 14. Using a custom DNS server you can point the game to connect to Tonberry, then Tonberry will act as a middle man between the game and the official servers by encoding and decoding packets and routing them between the console and the offical game server. The original goal of Tonberry was to be able to add additional functionality to the game (remote chat, damage tracking, etc), but I never got that far. This would be especially useful on consoles as there is no way to load mods into the game, but we can implement extra functionality into the game through its netcode. In its current state, Tonberry is essentially like a specialised version of wireshark, but for Final Fantasy 14. I did eventually start a rewrite of Tonberry with a plugin architecture, but it was abandoned :(.
