## 🔐 About Usernames Decryption/Resolving
The script **does not decrypt or resolve usernames automatically**\*.
This functionality was available on PS3 and Xbox 360 but is patched on current-gen platforms.
However, it does allow for manual assignment using [UserIP INI databases Configuration](https://github.com/BUZZARDGTA/Session-Sniffer/wiki/Configuration-Guide#userip-ini-databases-configuration) files.
\*_As of v1.1.4, username detection for GTA Online (PC) is supported via these **mod menu** plugins:_
- _[Session Sniffer Lexis Lua Plugin](https://github.com/BUZZARDGTA/Session_Sniffer-plugin-Lexis-Lua)_
- _[Session Sniffer Cherax Lua Plugin](https://github.com/BUZZARDGTA/Session_Sniffer-plugin-Cherax-Lua)_
- _[Session Sniffer Stand Lua Plugin](https://github.com/BUZZARDGTA/Session_Sniffer-plugin-Stand-Lua)_
