<br>
I'm having a problem identifying why some of my COD4 servers are displaying<br>
as 'cracked' servers.<br>
Over the many months of hosting COD4, both public servers and sponsored clan<br>
servers, I have always used the same set of installed (updated) files from a<br>
core install.<br>
At one stage I had 6 public and 3 sponsored servers running - 2 showing as<br>
cracked (allset up and installed from the same core files)<br>
<br>
<br>
I uploaded the game files when I purchased the game on release- so the game<br>
files are 100% legit<br>
If I wanted a new COD4 server up, I add a user (or new dir under the cod4<br>
user), cp the core files to the user dir, edit the server config and away we<br>
go...<br>
<br>
All my update patches have always been downloaded via links from this<br>
mailing list and linux bins are always downloaded from links on FPSAdmin...<br>
<br>
Anyone got any ideas why they are showing as being cracked?<br>
<br>
<br>

MD5 checks would do the trick. Also you can check the value of<br>
authservername to be sure it's correct as an added check.<br>
<br>
The main issue is legit players are populating cracked servers. The client<br>
could check the master server to see if the server they are connecting to is<br>
listed. If it's not then kick them with an error like cod waw does. Ofc it<br>
would have to check if the server is running in LAN etc.<br>
<br>
Before PBBans redirected <a href="http://cod4master.activhsion.com" target="_blank">cod4master.activhsion.com</a> to the real master server<br>
we logged all IP's that connected to us. So far we have logged<br>
783 server ip's (Which I attached). PunkBuster has the ability to ban a<br>
server ip but I don't hear much on them anymore. From what I understand<br>
Activision has to send the IP's to EB for banning.<br>
<br>
Any player can check the authservername value by using "/pb_cvarval<br>
authservername" in the console.<br>
