Function serverVerificationHash

This hash function is how the game client checks that it's communicating with a genuine server during connection initialization.

Returns

The hashed challenge value

Remarks

• The client sends an integer value to the server in the INIT_INIT client packet, where it is referred to as the challenge.
• The server hashes the value and sends the hash back in the INIT_INIT server packet.
• The client hashes the value and compares it to the hash sent by the server.
• If the hashes don't match, the client drops the connection.

Warning

• Oversized challenges may result in negative hash values, which cannot be represented properly in the EO protocol.
