 1 | # TACT Keys
 2 | This repo was created as a central place to store the ever increasing amount of (public) TACT encryption keys Blizzard uses to encrypt data in their games. 
 3 | 
 4 | Right now this repo only supports World of Warcraft, but other games might be added in the future.
 5 | 
 6 | ## Format
 7 | The format is a space separated file with the 16-char key lookup (or name) and the 32-char key itself, both encoded as hex. 
 8 | 
 9 | `0123456789ABCDEF 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF`
10 | 
11 | **More fields might be added at the end of the line in the future (e.g. IDs), be sure to only read the necessary data per line.**
12 | 
13 | ## Updates (WoW)
14 | TACT keys in WoW are current distributed in a few ways:
15 | - Client patches, keys are added to TactKey.db2 (with lookups in TactKeyLookup.db2)
16 | - Hotfix pushes to TactKey.db2/TactKeyLookup.db2 sent down by the server to clients (cached in in DBCache.bin)
17 | - As additional data to BroadcastText records sent down by the server as the user plays through content (cached in DBCache.bin)
18 | 
19 | As such, they can be extracted by reading the relevant [DB2](https://wowdev.wiki/DB2)s as well as [DBCache.bin](https://wowdev.wiki/ADB).
