This is where I think things will get interesting with regards to the changes that I have made to the XDR data and spoofing. I will be sending out another email shorting describing the XDR layout to support the extra metadata such as TITLE and GROUP. The new layout will not support the way spoofing was done in the past, but I am hoping that the same spoofing functionality can be achieved by simply adding some extra metadata to the packet.
