Remarks

This message is sent by Diablo II in response to ExtraWork and is thought to be part of cheat detection. This message is largely undocumented and more research is needed.

ExtraWork is sent during the first login since the client has been opened and periodically every few minutes thereafter.

When ExtraWork is downloaded, stageb.dll is executed and runs stagec.dll's ExtraWork which produces the result data to send in this message. The ExtraWork function appears to read volatile memory from Diablo II. The message format is an educated guess but could be completely inaccurate.

Unknowns 4, 7, and 8 appear to be sequence numbers, since they only ever increase over time.
