Re: [OT] Re: [hlds_linux] To Valve - Method for stopping most IllegalCD-Key's?
There are indeed keygens that do generate valid keys for Half-life alone. You can find them at many of the miscellaneous crackz sites or whatever. However, WON authentication doesn't usually work with them. You just have to try a whole bunch. --agenthh Jeremy Brooking wrote: On Fri, 2003-03-07 at 15:24, Jared Eischen wrote: I dont know if there is a generator that knows the math behind the servers to generate a wonid, but they can easily pump out random 13 character cdkeys. Any of which could be a legally bought one. I 'have' seen ones which create a key, then try auth with it against won, and keep repeating this process untill such time as it finds valid keys. I have heard of user getting dozens of keys this way (How true something said on OGC forums i dont know, but it cant be ignored because of the source) Im sure after time these attempts get blocked, but it makes one wonder, how many real keys have been discovered during this time. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Despite the article title, SCO clearly is looking to go after a company with money. They won't get a billion out of Redhat, SuSE, Mandrake, et al. It's a thin beef with IBM; It would be bloody ridiculous to make the same argument about the other mainstream distributors. On the other hand, it is America. In any case, I guess this dashes my dream of running 500 instances of HLDS on the 390 I have at the office ;- EN On Thu, 2003-03-06 at 22:33, Will Day wrote: fyi: SCO sues Big Blue over Unix, Linux http://news.com.com/2100-1016-991464.html -- Will Day Those who would give up essential Liberty, to ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Im on the UA anticheat team, I know what Im talking about. Jules, don't top post. C-D does detect, but doesn't tell. It would be mint if it did tell. From what I can gather C-D only responds to server probes. If the HL client give errors before its joined the HL Server then the C-D server can't send a probe so won't get a reponse.

Re: [hlds_linux] Re: Be ready--SCO to sue everything Linux???
I'm worried about the consequences if SCO somehow wins the case, much more than what happens to Big Blue. Many *nix companies are not doing too well already, if SCO nails them, poof! And everyone knows diversity is the spice of life... On the positive side, I'm not worried about the Linux kernel proper. Being the distributed beast it is, with no true controlling company (Linus doesn't count), I don't see how SCO could sue Linux. --agenthh ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
