ssfn*********** or ClientRegistry.blob?

[HusKy]

ssfn, but I *haven't* tested it. It might also fubar your Steam client's SteamGuard.

[Don Martin]

strange-looking hash in file settings.json. it's sha1?

[HusKy]

Well, if you checked the node-steam lib and bot.js script, you would know it's base64(sha1(data)).

[Don Martin]

for some reason, the length of the hash to base64 gets long.

[HusKy]

I have not tested it personally, what I suggested was more of a theoretical thing anyway. You should just wait those 3 days really.

[Don Martin]

I have a hash SHA1 cookie, which allows the exchange in the browser, but could not convert it into base64. The result is a long one

[HusKy]

Well, this bot does not store the cookies anywhere so there's that.

[Don Martin]

must be a way to replace the data with the operating unit.

Highly unlikely you'd be able to decode steam's hash, it includes more stuff that is stored in proprietary format.

[Don Martin]

I do not deciphered it) It's just a hash which I took out of the cookie.

You already said you used cookie data which is incorrect.

I'm not sure about this, the lengths match precisely.

I did just that to get the bot to work earlier than it should have been and it worked flawlessly. I can't remember or find the command I used though, so that's up to you to find :/

It would be nice if remembered.

Unfortunately ban after 3 days is not removed.

I assume cookie value is a hex string, so you need hex->base64 conversion, not string->base64

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the automatic supposed to decline trade offers from banned users?

I received a trade offer from this user and the offer was not automatically declined.

BP.TF bot stores only 1 authentication value (except for name/password) and it's not a cookie.

Of course. Don Martin  mentioned browser cookie. I just faced SteamGuard issue for my bot account, and sucessfully managed to convert sentry file from SteamBot to 'shaSentryfile' string. No more waiting for SteamGuard period end 

 

UPD. Just tried to convert steamMachineAuth* cookie into base64 and put into 'shaSentryfile' parameter. No, it's not working( SteamGuard code request appeared.

I did get a line right length, but Steam does not accept it. Requires code and will come out a new hash.

Yep, that will obviously not work.

Why are you still trying to use the cookies? I told you (3 days ago) that you can't use those. wtf?

[Don Martin]

for the sake of interest. is not just a cookie, and the data of this kind it - 1FEE38521C5E57C9584B1008D09F624F465ADA03

Can you post some logs please

[Carnage]

Can you post some logs please

Where would I find the correct log? 

[Collectors GovCon]

Where would I find the correct log? 

Logs are stored in the same folder as the bot as <username>.log

 

There are actually 2 log files, <username>.log which logs everything and <username>.trade.log which (you guessed it) only logs trades. So if you're right you ought to be able to find it in both (just search for 76561198078497685)
