Diepssect

This a public repo for hacky diep stuff, including networking protocol, WebAssembly, memory editing, & physics.

Contribution

I started working on this last summer in 2017, with the goal of deciphering the diep.io protocol. Unfortunately the developer started updating the game for a while, and each time the memory layout and protocol is shuffled. But since now it's been months since the last update now, I'm starting to work on it again.

If you make any discoveries, pull requests are welcome! You can also message me on my Discord server at discord.gg/8gvUd3v.

Scripts

All of the userscripts are found in the userscripts folder, but you can also install them by just clicking. They all should be able to run in harmony, with the exception of dpma.js, which should not be combined with hexedit.js or diep-pl.js.

• diep-pl.js - A diep packer logger, used for deciphering the protocol.
• dpma.js - A WIP script that allows both editing memory and packets.
• hexedit.js - A script that allows memory editing.
• injector.js - A script that inject itself into diep's build_*.js for exporting and replacing variables.
• nsfsk.js - Test script. Currently does nothing.

There are other browser or node.js scripts, which can be found in the scripts folder.

Protocol

You can find userscripts/diep-pl.js and use it in TemperMonkey. Press F12 to view all short cuts, but it include features like Alt+Z to dump log to console.

Encodings

Although data is represented in many ways, there are only six primary encodings. You can find information on all of them in the scripts/coder.js file.

Name	Description	Size
Float	A floating point number	4
Int	A little-endian integer	4
Varint	A signed 32 bit integer	1+
Varuint	An unsigned 32 bit integer	1+
Varfloat	A float casted to a varint	1+
String	A null terminated string	1+

Many packets are already completely deciphered. Some packet types have a known structure, but contain tables or mappings that are unknown and possible to figure out through manual trial-and-error. A few are completely unknown and deemed impossible without reverse engineering.

Serverbound Packets

ID	Description	Status
00	init	Done
01	input	Done
02	spawn	Done
03	upgrade build	Done
04	upgrade tank	Structured
05	echo	Done
06		Unknown
07	extension found	Structured
08	clear death	Done
09	take tank	Done

Serverbound packets are generally easy to dissect, most having few if any arguments. The only exception to this is the 01 packet, which is in the following format: 01 vu(flags) vf(mouseX) vf(mouseY) (vx(movementX) vy(movementY))?

The flags are as below, starting with the least significant bit:

• left mouse
• up key
• left key
• down key
• right key
• god mode
• suicide
• right mouse
• instant upgrade
• use gamepad
• switch class
• constant of true

Note that the movement arguments are only added when using gamepads.

Clientbound Packets

ID	Description	Status
00	update	Structured
01	outdated client	Done
02	compressed update	Unknown
03	message	Done
04	server status	Done
05	echo	Done
06	party link	Done
07	ready	Done
08	achievements	Structured
09	invalid link	Done
0a	player count	Done

Although most clientbound packets are as easy as the serverside packets. There are two main extremely complicated ones, 00 and 02, which I'll explain in CLIENTBOUND.md.

Other Repos

Here are some repos about the protocol. Unfortunately, most of the information there especially about the details of the 00 packet is either outdated or incorrect.

WebAssembly

Diep.io uses Emscripten with WebAssembly. This means that unlike most .io games, diep is written not in JavaScript but rather C++. This means that the code cannot be easily read, and will be difficult to comprehend even when disassembled.

Memory editing

You can find userscripts/hexedit.js and use it in TemperMonkey. Six vectors with static memory addresses have been included, and you can find their information in the comments.

Physics

You can find userscripts/diep-pl.js and use it in TemperMonkey. Press F12 to view all short cuts, but it include features like Alt+X to pause updated, Alt+Q to view motion frame by frame, and Alt+M to enable debug mode which show raw health up to 6 digits.

Here's a very useful page with lots of stuff about diep's physics.
