Well, another problem might be the use of a cracked binary. These don't
contact<br>
the master server, so GUID is always 0.<br>

Possibly two issues?

Subject: Re: [cod] COD2 GUID = 0 exploit

<blockquote type="cite">As I'm sure you are aware, there has also
been a long-standing issue with
<br>
the COD master servers occasionally returning players guid as zero.
<br>
Sometimes it's all players, sometimes it's just amny of them (maybe
they
<br>
have several master servers?). Anyway, I'm sure you are aware of this.
<br>
Maybe this is a new exploit.....
<br>
<br>
The reason I am painfully aware of this is that we have a custom
<br>
application that tracks users on our servers using guid. If we ban a
<br>
player, the application grabs their IP and guid and bans them in a sql
<br>
database. However, if there are players on the server with the same
guid
<br>
(0), then they all get banned.........
<br>
<br>
Due to this issue, we have rewritten the application to use the player
IP
<br>
only if the guid is zero.
