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.
