Tutorial QSP Finding Passwords For QSP Games

[Pararock]

Here a simple guide to find the password of any games based on the QSP engine.

The password is encoded by a simple

You must be registered to see the links

1. Open the .qsp in a text editor like notepad or notepad++
   
2. Copy the third line in excel
   
3. Separate each character into their own column
   
4. Insert =code(cell of step3)
   
5. Add 5 to the ascii code of the result of step 4
   
6. Transform back to ascii with =char(cell of step 5)
   
7. All the transformed column is the password

Here an example taken from Family life. The third line was ,-./0 and the password is 12345


Alternatively, you can also use an ascii table.

 

[abracadabra]

Its bit simpler just to replace third line with:
Ij
and remove password alltogether

 

[ace_boogie]

Its bit simpler just to replace third line with:
Ij
and remove password alltogether

2nd option. Use qsptools (not qgen) to change or remove it

The guide doesn't work in all cases. This game is different...

You have weird characters there, this seems like a bad encoding. Can you show what encoding notepad++ detected? It should be on the bottom right. The weirld NUL character on top between QSPGAME characters seems to indicate notepad++ treat this as a ascii document instead of UCS-2 little endian.

bad encoding OEM US. Tons of NUL characters everywhere


Good encoding: UCS-2 Little Endian. No nul character between character and a clear CRLF at the end of each line.


Oups, this is a save not a game. It should not matter, they uses the same encoding.

Sure, here it is:


The other games looks normal, however this one is different. I can post a game QSP here:

 

[Pararock]

Yeah notepad++ seems to have difficulty detecting the right encoding for this file. With VSCode it works. Anyway, I opened the game in a debugger to look at the password.
Edit: Removed bad password.

 

[Pararock]

Yeah, encoding is fucked on the website: here the password base 64:

Unbase64 in notepad++ then paste in the editor.

Yeah, encoding is fucked on the website: here the password base 64:


Unbase64 in notepad++ then paste in the editor.

The question now what is base 64 and unbase64 since I never used it? I already found that notepad++ has some base64 options under Plugins>MIME Tools> but still I don't know how to use it.

 

[Pararock]

Paste in notepad++, ctrl+a to select everything -> plugins -> mime tools -> Base64 decode -> ctrl+a to reselect everything -> ctrl+c -> ctrl+v in the editor.

 

[ustar]

All I have is this:

and this:

 

[Pararock]

Paste the content into an empty file in notepad++.

Now it gets the password, but OMG what a huge trash password!!

The question is how did you get it?

 

[Pararock]

Visual Studio, including my typo:

 

[ustar]

So you wrote a program for password extraction?
If only there would be easier way to do this.

 

[Pararock]

The method mentionned by abracadabra still works, it's only more complicated now to replace the third line for Ij.
Here's how it look in vscode.

Start from ,3 something, juste before the first no\mo and select up like this:

Replace this with Ij. You will probably need to hit enter once. So that it lookslike this:


Make sure endline are set as crlf and encoding is utf-16 le.


Hit save. It won't work, because VSCode (correctly)insist on putting a BOM at the start of the file. QSP is a bum that doesn't respect the specification and break if there's a BOM.

So you need an hex editor to remove the BOM. That surprisingly a hard part, most software don't even show you the BOM. I used the hex editor from beyond compare to remove the FF FE. Once that it's done save and open in the editor, the password is gone.

Thinking about the game and its trash password - the game is russian, so I guess they enter the password using russian cyrillic words, so it would explain why it looks like trash without proper encoding.

As you mentioned there is a problem that most known editing programs (like notepad++) doesn't recognize the proper encoding of the file - it recognize it as Macintosh CR ANSI, but should open it as DOS/Windows CR LF UCS-2 Little Endian also known as Unicode UTF-16.
The problem is that I cannot see how I can force open a file with specific encoding.
I'm already familiar with HEX editing and use a simple program that can do it.
It's true that UTF-8 or UTF-16 has specific signature at file start that is invisible to text editors that support them, shown only with text editors without UTF support.

So now I will have to find where I can download VSCode.

 

[Pararock]

It's only for this file that editor like n++ doesn't recognize encoding. All others qsp/sav files I've tried are correctly detected by notepad++ as utf16-le without bom. My guess, is that he picked the password with the intend to break some know technic to bypass it.

 

[Pararock]

There's another method: You can add the bom mark FF FE before with an hex editor, open in n++ which now correctly detect ucs-16 le bom remove the line and replace it with Ij, save and remove the bom. Open the game in the editor and it should be without password.

This works too
