# Lolo: reconstructing the OverField game server and protocol

> Lolo implements portions of an OverField server for a client connected through a configured proxy. The bundled Iridium tool captures and decodes the game's TCP traffic, exposes live packets through a web view and JSON API, and saves per-session NDJSON for protocol analysis.
