Login messages have a header of 1 byte with an opcode. Some messages also have a size field but this is not considered part of the header.

0x21- / -Stringaccount_nameReal clients can send a maximum of 16 UTF-8 characters. This is not necessarily 16 bytes since one character can be more than one byte.
Real clients will send a fully uppercased username, and will perform authentication calculations on the uppercased version.
Uppercasing in regards to non-ASCII values is little weird. See https://docs.rs/wow_srp/latest/wow_srp/normalized_string/index.html for more info.
