🎯 HAR FILE ANALYSIS RESULTS

File: pin-river.data.ea.com_2026_02_18_10_37_48.har
Size: 2.46 MB
Requests: 2,355 HTTP requests captured
Date: 2026-02-18


KEY DISCOVERIES

1. CDN Domain Found! 🎉

Primary Asset CDN:

firemonkeys.akamaized.net
  • What it is: Akamai CDN (Content Delivery Network)
  • Purpose: Hosts Real Racing 3 game assets
  • Connections: 30+ HTTPS connections captured
  • Status: STILL ACTIVE

2. EA Server Domains

Core Services:

gateway.ea.com              - API Gateway
syn-dir.sn.eamobile.com     - Synergy Director (routing)
product.sn.eamobile.com     - Product Catalog (IAP)
user.sn.eamobile.com        - User Management

Analytics/Telemetry:

pin-river.data.ea.com       - Analytics
river-mobile.data.ea.com    - Mobile analytics

Other Services:

0037-connect.cloudcell.com  - Connection service
ping1.tnt-ea.com            - Network monitoring

📊 Traffic Analysis

HTTP Methods:

  • CONNECT: 2,355 (100%)
    • All HTTPS tunnel setups
    • Actual content was encrypted

Status Codes:

  • 200 OK: 2,352 (99.9%)
  • 0 (No Response): 3 (0.1%)

What This Means:

  • Connections successful
  • ⚠️ Actual asset URLs not captured (HTTPS encrypted)
  • We know the CDN domain
  • Need to find asset paths

🔍 What We DON'T Have Yet

Missing Information:

❌ Exact asset URLs (e.g., /rr3/cars/car_001.pak)
❌ Asset manifest URL
❌ File directory structure
❌ Authentication headers (if any)

Why:

The HAR was captured by an HTTP proxy that couldn't decrypt HTTPS traffic. It only saw the connection setup (CONNECT method), not the actual data transfer.


🎯 NEXT STEPS

Step 1: Check Downloaded Files on Phone

Go to:

Settings → Apps → Real Racing 3 → Storage

Tell me:

  • Total size (e.g., "2.5 GB")
  • Cache size
  • Data size

Step 2: Access Files with File Manager

Navigate to:

Internal Storage/Android/data/com.ea.games.r3_row/files/

Look for:

  • .pak files (packed assets)
  • .pka files (packed assets alternate)
  • .z files (compressed)
  • .dat files (data)
  • .bin files (binary)
  • manifest or .json files

Send me:

  • Screenshots of file list
  • Or file names via text

Step 3: Transfer Files to Server

Best methods:

USB + ADB:

adb devices
adb pull /sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.r3_row/files/ E:\rr3\phone-assets\

Cloud Upload:

  • Google Drive (you already use this)
  • Upload folder to Drive
  • Download on OVH server

🔬 Asset URL Discovery Methods

Method A: Reverse Engineer APK (Already Done)

✅ APK decompiled at E:\rr3\decompiled\
❓ Search for asset URL patterns

Method B: Inspect Downloaded Files

- Manifest files may contain URLs
- Config files may have CDN paths
- We have extraction tools ready

Method C: Test Common Patterns

Try URLs like:
https://firemonkeys.akamaized.net/rr3/assets/[filename]
https://firemonkeys.akamaized.net/realracing3/[filename]
https://firemonkeys.akamaized.net/mobile/rr3/[filename]

Method D: HTTPS Decryption Capture

- Install mitmproxy with SSL cert on phone
- Recapture with decryption
- See actual asset URLs
(Only if needed - files on phone might be enough!)

💡 Probable Asset Structure

Based on typical EA/Akamai CDN patterns:

https://firemonkeys.akamaized.net/
├── rr3/
│   ├── manifest.json
│   ├── assets/
│   │   ├── cars/
│   │   │   ├── car_001.pak
│   │   │   ├── car_002.pak
│   │   │   └── ...
│   │   ├── tracks/
│   │   │   ├── track_spa.pak
│   │   │   └── ...
│   │   └── ui/
│   │       └── ...
│   └── version.txt

🚨 CRITICAL: Files Already Downloaded!

The game already downloaded assets to your phone!

These files are sitting in:

/sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.r3_row/files/

We can:

  1. Copy files from phone NOW
  2. Preserve what's already downloaded
  3. Analyze to find URL patterns
  4. Mirror remaining assets (if any)

No need to re-download if files are already there!


📋 ACTION ITEMS

Immediate (DO NOW):

☐ Check phone: Settings → Apps → RR3 → Storage (how many GB?)
☐ Open file manager: Android/data/com.ea.games.r3_row/files/
☐ Screenshot or list files found
☐ Tell me file names and sizes

Next (Once we know what you have):

☐ Transfer files to OVH server
☐ Analyze file structure
☐ Find asset manifest
☐ Mirror remaining files from firemonkeys.akamaized.net
☐ Preserve everything to Internet Archive

🎯 What We've Learned

Confirmed:

  • CDN is alive: firemonkeys.akamaized.net
  • EA servers operational
  • Game successfully downloaded assets
  • HTTPS encryption prevents easy URL capture

Unknown:

  • Exact asset URLs
  • Total asset count
  • Manifest location
  • Authentication requirements

🎯 Goal:

  • Get files from phone → server
  • Analyze structure
  • Mirror CDN
  • Preserve forever

💬 Reply With:

Right now, tell me:

  1. Phone storage: "Settings shows RR3 is using [X] GB"
  2. Files visible: "I can see [description] in file manager"
  3. Transfer method: "I prefer [USB/Cloud/FTP]"

Then we'll proceed with preservation! 🏁


Status: 🟡 Waiting for file information from phone
