This is incomplete documentation regarding BYOND data.

There's a document which is supposed to contain protocol information but research hasn't gone far enough for it to be really worth anything.

Tomeno: important parts of string decryption and protocol decryption

BobOfDoom, NGGJamie, Crispy: Documented the BYOND Topic protocol at https://github.com/NGGJamie/byond-topics This was useful to understand BYOND packet framing, not covering encryption

The Red Book (Super Saiyan X, LordAndrew, Kaiochao, DarkCampainger et al.): Informed me of the existence of modified types.
