COD4 Private [cracked] server

[paulpl]

Hi,

This post is for admins or for ppl that are owners of cracked servers.

When legit COD4 server is running on begining it connect to cod4master.activision.com and sends data about clients.

In cracked verison it's trying to connect to cod4master.activhsion.com (letter "i" changed to "h") and shoud get "coudnt resolve host" beacuse such domain dont exist.
Well... it's exist now. And its poiting to cod4master.activision.com.
The domain was bought 05.05.2009 but the redirection to Activison is active since weekend (or today -18.05.2009) I think, at friday everythings worked fine. Today when I restarted server some friend reported me problem with "key code in use" error so i investigate that and found that activhsion.com thing.

So if you will restart server, ppl can have problem with connect to it.

How to fix it? Open cod4_lnxded (linux version) in hex editor, find "activhsion.com" and change it to some other domain (numbers of chars must be that same). I you have access to server firewall you can block IP of activision host.

how to open with HEX editor?

[mwkemo]

You open the file like with anyother text editor. File/Open

ok but I have second problem:

I edited these:

cod4master.akthvision.com

to:

cod4master.akthvision.nom


but then the hash is different:

before:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2278332 2009-05-19 00:01 cod4_lnxded

and then:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2278300 2009-05-21 23:41 cod4_lnxded

why not modify your hosts file to block it then? considerably easier, and the file hash won't change

"activhsion.com"

akthvision.com

anybody success to make it work a private server? can it pleas post their linux bins.

[fuhq2mofo]

If it runs, it can be cracked...

(add to your HOSTS file)
127.0.0.1 cod4master.activision.com
127.0.0.1 cod4master.activhsion.com

Crackers: 10
PBBans, Evenbalance and Activision: 0

Enjoy! ;)

[blindek]

yes I know that, but with these I can't run also original servers on same machine. What can I do?

[paulpl]

Activision is quick :D
Domain Name: AKTHVISION.COM
Created on: 20-May-09


Ok, c'mon its really easy.

1. Download Notepad++ http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/
2. Install it
3. Open file cod4_lnxded in notepad++
4. Press CTRL+F and in search text type: cod4master
5. Yeah, now u see cod4master.akthvision.com (or cod4master.activhsion.com)
6. Change the domain for whatever u want, for example: hhh8sexsex.abcderfujn.com (number of chars must be that same!)
7. Save file
8. Upload it to server
9. Run

[paulpl]

btw. if someone want to release it just change "cod4master.activision.com" to "cod4master.activision.aaa". They cant buy domain with ".aaa".

this is not working for me at all.
if I change it inside the file so it doesnt find the masterserver, no one can connect to the server, except on lan.
if I change my hosts file, same issue, only lan players can connect.

what am I doing wrong?

it just hits me that i'm not using any +set dedicated 1 or 2
might this be the problem? i'm gonna give it a shot anyway, as far I have understood dedicated 2 is internet server

it appears that it was not the issue either.

to clarify, the server is working just fine when im not changing any of this. people with the real game can connect and play.

Hi,

I had the same problems with making a linux server cracked. I also tried to change that cod4master, but I get a segmentation fault back.

Though, I fixed it now, and I want to tell how I did it, I hope it works for you too

What you need to do is block cod4master from your host.

I'm not a really linux expert, but with Debian lenny I did it with this command:

/sbin/route add -host cod4master.activhsion.com reject

I hope it works for you too!

Good luck

ty for trying to help! but it didnt work for me, still the same issue :\

[robertmaverick]

What is your Operating System, which command did you used, and which host did you blocked?

[crazett]

What is your Operating System, which command did you used, and which host did you blocked?

I'm using linux debian

I used /sbin/route add -host cod4master.activision.com reject

start line > ./cod4_lnxded +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game mods/promodlive +map mp_crash +exec server.cfg

I blocked cod4master.activision.com since I'm not using a "cracked" cod4_lnxded, figured it woulden't make a difference since im blocking the host anyway.
