Adds tools/card_identity_probe.py, a read-only /proc/PID/mem walk of the CardsDb card map that reports the identity the CLIENT resolved for every card it holds. Why it matters: identity never comes from us. The item-parser tail registers every parsed item into the map, and immediately before that FUN_180141660 -> FUN_180135890 queries the client's own local players table by resourceId & 0xffffff. On a hit it fills name/face and leaves our rating/position/attributes alone; on a miss it writes a fixed generic card (rating 0x32, teamid 0x78d, nation 0xe, position 2, attrs 1, name ' '). That miss fingerprint is exactly the blank card photographed in a pack today, so the chain is confirmed by live evidence and not only in Ghidra. First live run, 11 nodes, 0 failed reads, size counter agrees with the walk: Ronaldo/Messi/Suarez/Kroos/Hazard all resolve with real names, so every record offset derived statically (+0x18 resourceId, +0xb4 rating, +0x94 teamid, +0x148 nation, +0x146 position, names inline at +0xb8/+0xc8/+0xdd) is correct live. This makes card identity a pure DATA problem: serve real playerids. The probe is the bulk oracle for finding them -- N candidate ids served, one read classifies all N. Also flips FUT_STORE_DISPLAYGROUP to default on; it shipped off pending proof that the key does not switch FIFA17.exe to another tile render path, and it was then run live and the store tiles showed their real names.

OpenFUT
Offline Ultimate Team — like SPT, but for FIFA 23.
OpenFUT replaces EA's retired FUT servers with a fully offline, single-player backend. You own FIFA 23 legitimately. You just want to keep playing after EA shut down the servers.
Repositories
| Repo | Purpose |

openfut-core |
Game-independent offline FUT backend |
openfut-bridge |
FIFA 23 integration layer + reverse-engineering proxy |

SQLite database
Core is game-independent. It speaks a clean REST API and knows nothing about FIFA 23 internals.
Bridge is FIFA-specific. It speaks FIFA 23's wire protocol and translates it into Core API calls. Bridge is where all reverse engineering work happens.

Running
# Start the offline backend
cd openfut-core
cargo run
# Start the proxy (for traffic capture / FIFA integration)
cd openfut-bridge
cargo run
Core listens on http://127.0.0.1:8080 by default.
Bridge listens on http://127.0.0.1:8443 by default.
Design Principles
- Offline-first. No EA account required. No internet connection needed.
- Single-player only. This is not a multiplayer server emulator.
- Data-driven. All cards, packs, SBCs, and objectives are JSON files. Everything is moddable.
- Clean architecture. Core has zero knowledge of FIFA 23. Bridge has zero game logic.
- No copyrighted assets. No real player images, no EA trademarks in data files.
