How would I go about reading...

Hello SDN members, first of all I'd like to ask you all some questions.

I am fairly new to Java and I've been curious as to how some "Browser Based Java" applets actually work.

My few questions:

For example and learning purposes only.

I have checked out a few sites containing these "Embedded Java Applets",

I am wondering what these applets leave behind..

For example "runescape.com" is a web browser based Java applet game.

You create a avatar gather items, and etc. I'm interested in finding out how this applet works.

Here are some of the files I've found that are left on my HD using a "signed applet using Default Java"...

These are four directories it left behind.

.file_store_32

.jagex_cache_32

.jagex_cache_34

.mpr_file_store_32

Within one of the .jagex cache's I find the actual game folder named "runescape" and a .dat file called "UID"

When I open the "runescape" folder,

It consists of a bunch of files...

Here is a link to what I found:

I'd like to know if there is anyway I can read those files, any program I can use. I tried opening them with wordpad and all I got was a mess of characters. So anyone with any knowledge I hope you can help me out here.

I was also wondering if EtherDetect 1.3 could sniff the game applet's packets and I'd be able to see them correctly.

'The files created by a Java program may or may not be text, and they may or may not follow a standard format.It sounds like, in this case, they aren't text.If you want to know what format the files are in, you should probably ask the Runescape developers.
