Protocol Overview
Haxial KDX was a non-compatible Hotline clone developed between 2001 and 2005 by Australian-based company Haxial Software Pty. Ltd. It provides everything the Hotline protocol does along with its own array of features such as remote desktop administration, detailed file access, user account classes, custom user icons, multiple public chat rooms, IRC bridging, and voice chat. Most notable is its extensive use of mixing known standard cryptographic hashes and encryption algorithms of the time (MD5, CRC32, Twofish, etc.) as well as some of its own proprietary algorithms. KDX's news system is a hybrid of Hotline's threaded news system and it's classic bulletin board-style news feed: a threaded news system where each category is its own bulletin board-style feed.
