[cod] Beware...

[MaydaX]

MD5 checks would do the trick. Also you can check the value of 
authservername to be sure it's correct as an added check.

The main issue is legit players are populating cracked servers. The 
client could check the master server to see if the server they are 
connecting to is listed. If it's not then kick them with an error like 
cod waw does. Ofc it would have to check if the server is running in LAN 
etc.

Before PBBans redirected cod4master.activhsion.com to the real master 
server we logged all IP's that connected to us. So far we have logged 
783 server ip's (Which I attached). PunkBuster has the ability to ban a 
server ip but I don't hear much on them anymore. From what I understand 
Activision has to send the IP's to EB for banning.

Any player can check the authservername value by using "/pb_cvarval 
authservername" in the console.
