VRChat added VRCA (?maybe VRCW too) protection
-
@Reym is it just encrypted while in game and in your filesystem? if you can just grab the vrca asset url and its unencrypted then profit?
@edenware
it is not that very simple, the system is complicated, some people (me included) who have got the .vrca or .vrcw are obtained through the api OR they have modified their .exe/.dll to get core of game and unity since the unencrypted one i seen contain no DWR word or encryption sign and you cannot get asset url that easily as vrchat uses protections on connection of asset download, i do found what vrchat use on connection protect but i forgot which dll what was that located
some uses discord if you want easy vrca or vrcw file go therethis is just what i thinking either the exe is streaming the world file and stuff or they took the unity of the game and modify it to normal unity without DWR, again this could be wrong, this is just my ideas of how exe it process encrypted file, could be off or could be right, i still look for anything that i can do
1 thing i notice while researching, file called "lib_burst_generated.dll" could be the core something to do with encryption, if anyone do have info or know what it do, let us know, if you rather want to keep it private, private message work
as of now, i will be stopping my research, i hope this notes can be useful if someone ever want to continue it

Is there anyway to find a pre-encrypted VRCA of a public avatar? I will do all of the repair work myself. The avatar author refuses to give away the files, or even sell them.
My understanding is right now no third party client exists to intercept vrca's, or easy method to rip avatars from the cache.
I'd take an old version I'm just looking for this Khai's Good Dragon...

Oh my I did not realize I got this popular >A< dang. Yes I figured out how to rip models again. No I am not telling you how to do it (devs are lurking).
I might make a thread so people can request avatar vrca files by putting an avatar ID and i put the vrca out, but then that might get me into a lotta trouble sharing around avatars vrchat sells lol. I will think about it. I dont rip to redistribute assets or make a profit, I do it cause I like tinkering with stuff and it helped me learn how to make avatars.
I was motivated to do it again cause theres so many broken models on vrchat that I fix up/improve and upload to my account. I spent years learning unity, the VRChatSDK, and other computer junk to do what I do lol.
AND IM NOT GIVING PEOPLE MY DISCORD I DONT KNOW YOU PEOPLE
@StinkerGuy115 Hey, ik this may be outdated, but is there any way I can contact you? I have been tryna figure this out for awhile since the uodate.if not it's fine, just hoping someone can show me a new method.

here my research i been doing so far
so every unencrypted file of vrca or vrcw they contain unityFS version like this
UnityFS 5.x.x 2022.3.22f1
while encrypted or game contains
UnityFS 5.x.x 2022.3.22f1-DWR
i do not know what DWR for but it could be a clue, every unencrypted today contain like BuildPlayer-(world name here).sharedAssets and for avatar file they contain CAB-(number letters here), which readable in assetripper
while encrypted has none and has bunch of @@@@@@@@@@ spam at the end of every vrca-vrcw file, i look dll files, inspecting any clue i found they use AES-CBC-GCM-SHA256 kind of encryption in game dll, try to look into game data so far i only been looking into the GameAssembly.dll and PhotonEncryptorPlugin.dll and other dll i may forgot when looking into thempost mentions of game encrypt in unity
https://discussions.unity.com/t/how-would-you-secure-an-encryption-key-in-the-client/640245/36document of encryption
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/[email protected]/manual/encrypt-a-model.htmlidea i have are either the assets being streamed in something in our machine or they are stored somewhere as .sharedAssets, i am not sure if this will help someone in the future of getting unencrypted file including private avatar, hope it helps

Abyss has been dead for a while. At this point, HEX is the only one that still works and bypasses EAC properly.
Currently, I can still extract models using the Abyss client.

@Linze for method 1, you need the SSL thing, which only can be decrypt on wireshark, but vrchat has detection and debug off for those, the only way to get it by MITM or something, based of my old research, the log i have in the archive contain the said SSL and handshakes, but we need the decrypt key that can be obtain through SSLKEYLOG, again the key does not generate on games, only browser with debug on by default, as for MITM i have not tested it when i decide to stop my research, due to lack of device and tech
Note, vrchat on the wireshark will constantly spam something around 0.5 millisecond at the same time, so getting it would be thoroughly hard or impossible

Sooo, last time I ripped an Avatar was in August 2024.
Currently we're almost in 2026, still no actual feasible way to decrypt? I have some interesting things on cache with that _data format that I would like to extract. Please!

i think i have went into every ripping method that was easily feasible on my own from cashe ripping, SARS, ARC, and even reading this whole thread in the pursuit to get the files to one vrc avi, and the question i have from all of this is, is ripping dead now?
