-----------
Users rooms

UbiSoft has disabled the main channels, so seems that only the rooms
created by the users are still accessible.
These channels/rooms are visible through the usage of my ubisniff tool:

  http://aluigi.org/papers/ubisniff.zip

the rooms of the users are ever in the format: #LobbyGrp40.ROOM_NUMBER

ROOM_NUMBER is ever a negative number visible through ubisniff when we
join the room, the packets can be recognized because they look like the
following for the channel #LobbyGrp40.-482:

73 32 34 00 5b 73 2d 34 38 32 00 73 00 73 31 32   s24.[s-482.s.s12
38 00 73 30 00 73 34 2e 30 00 5d                  8.s0.s4.0.]

73 33 38 00 5b 73 32 34 00 5b 73 2d 34 38 32 00   s38.[s24.[s-482.
5d 5d    

73 38 00 5b 73 2d 34 38 32 00 5d                  s8.[s-482.]

73 35 31 00 5b 73 75 73 65 72 6e 61 6d 65 00 73   s51.[susername.s
2d 34 38 32 00 5d                                 s-482.]

73 33 38 00 5b 73 38 00 5b 73 2d 34 38 32 00 5d   s38.[s8.[s-482.]
5d                                                ]

This short step by step explains one of the methods to easily retrieve
the Ubi IRC channel of a specific game's lobby on Ubi.com.

1) Go here for the complete lobbies list (the same page you see in the
   Ubi.com application):

   http://gamingzone.ubisoft.com


2) Select the game you wanna join, for example Ghost Recon:

   http://gamingzone.ubisoft.com/index.asp?game=BYPASS&selectionID=9&username=&password=


3) Choose a channel, for example Ghost Recon 1, move the mouse over the
   link and in the status bar (or if not, copy the link with the right
   mouse button) you can see the following text:

   javascript:PlayOnLobby('L_GHOSTRECON','412','40')


4) The IRC channel you must join is the following:

   #LobbyGrp40.412

   Practically you must put #LobbyGrp, then the second value, the dot
   and the first one:
   #LobbyGrp second_value . first_value
