HWID System for developers

[John Dread]

Some may have noticed already - on the profile page there is a new panel titled "Hardware ID". Here I want to explain to you how it's supposed to be used and what the possibilities are.

The HWID system is an e*pvp-intern system which can be used by developers who want to code their tools so that they only work if the PC on which it is used is connected to an e*pvp account by its Hardware ID (HWID).

Now what is this for?
Simple as that: Developers can create tools for particular usergroups and hacks,bots and other tools can't be leeched that easily in other boards (the faster the leech, the faster the fix by the game-dev).

Isn't that kind of complicated?
No, in fact not. Handling it is easy for both, the developer and the user. I added a little guide where you have to enter your HWID and I explain how you generate it, below.

Can you read any data about me via HWID?
No. The HWID is being MD5 hashed. That's why it is (nearly) impossible to reconstruct the original values.

How to enter the HWID?
1. Download one of the HWID generators from the attachment in the thread mentioned below (Downloads)
2. Click on this link and scroll to the bottom
3. Enter the HWID the generator created for you


For developers:

Spoiler:

What does the HWID consist of?
Pseudocode:

md5(CurrentHWProfileGUID + Serial_of_main_HDD)

Self-explaining

How do I use it as a developer?

There you can poll userinfos in XML format (the HWID is being passed via GET parameter to the php script). In order to generate the HWID you can download the "dev-tools.rar" in the attachment and use the "epvp_hwid.dll". It contains the function ("GetHWID") which generates the HWID for you. The function is prototyped this way:

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) char *_cdecl GetHWID(void) ;

Now thats something thats really nice.
Can be used for premium hacks and so on.

Have been thinking a bit about this, iv had a few questions what "premium hacks", we had. =p

[Match*Star.]

Nice one.
Very useful to avoid leeching.

[Flyff_Service]

Very nice, thanks maybe ill use it

[.Yuzuru]

I would also like this to be included in securing my applications.
I hope I know how it can be done in VB.

Really nice, also a very good idea. I know some hackers who use this method for there private hacks as a method for anti-leech. Very nice job :].
