The NM_A_PARM1 tag of the "login" command is the base64 of the "username::password" string encrypted with blowfish. This tag has the value 10 which is relative to the strings, but exists another type defined as 12 which instead is used for particular data ("nested arrays") and when used for login->NM_A_PARM1 allows to corrupt the heap memory: 0042BCD9 |. 8B0B MOV ECX,DWORD PTR DS:[EBX] ; 3 0042BCDB |. 8B55 FC MOV EDX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-4] ; 3 0042BCDE |.
