They have a prog that can set the WONID to any number they want. The easiest solution is a USB passthru dongle. send one out with each copy of TF2. the dongle contains a unique 'Dongle ID'. It can be programmed with your wonID only once. after that, your wonID and dongle must match up, otherwise, you can't play. Nasty if someone figures out the dongle's operation. But, you can set a tamper resistant "seal" I guess. if someone tries to re-flash the dongle's firmware, it dies.won must send you a custom executable that matches up with the wonID in the dongle. 128/256 bit encryption would be a solution, 512 is semi-fesable, and 1024 would be extreme. it'd probably be worth it for anti-cheat/anti-piracy measures. but it would piss people off to no end... _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
