How to start reverse engineering client-server programs?

Question

reverse engineering

I was interested in studying the algorithm of communication between the client and the server of a certain game. I recorded the transmitted/received packets using Wireshark. How to be able to figure out what is transmitted in them? And what is the best place to start when studying a topic?

Answer 1

I think that debugging the client will be more productive: you can always see where and what data is taken from.
