The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Anti-No CD Hack/Crack for Halo PC?

Asked by JOSHSKORN in Massive Multiple Online Role Playing and Other Online Games

Tags: , , ,

I play Halo PC and I have a dedicated server for Halo PC.  I'm looking for some sort of server-side application (it would have to be since you want it to apply for all those that join the server) that can figure out if the connection in question is using a legit software key.

Some background information:
This server I run belongs to a Halo Clan.  One of the ex-members of the clan was kicked out at some point in time and we have since tried to ban this player from our servers.  The type of ban used is permanent, and a hash of their software key is stored in a text file on the server.  When a player joins the server, the server checks the memory location of the banned file (loaded when the server is restarted each time) and compares the entries with the player's hash and doesn't let the player in the server if there is a matching record.

Because of this, this player is now using a no CD hack/crack.  I realize this is illegal, but I have no real way of stopping this person from using this tool.  He has admitted in a conversation to using it.  So basically, when he joins our servers, he joins with a new CD hash each time because of the no CD hack he has.

Anyway...does anyone know of a server-side utility which can check for spoofed CD keys and ban a player if found spoofing a key?  Is there another way of solving this problem?  I don't think Microsoft would act on providing any updates to this game, since Halo 2 will come out in June, and Halo 1 PC is a couple years old.  It would be nice if they could release an update to require activation and somehow fix the infrastructure to store hashes on the Gamespy lobby and pair them with respective Windows keys...well..something along those lines.Start Free Trial
