List of IP addresses conquer.exe queries on start

First post, i usually just read....but:

I've noticed that Conquer.exe queries at least dozens of different IP addresses on startup--but only one each start. I'd like to find the list in the conquer folder, but so far no luck. Any ideas? I searched the forums but didn''t see any topics other than discussions of server IP addresses. I experimented by opening and closing conquer about 20 times on 2 different computers, and got a list of 12 different IP addresses. I looked them all up and they seem random, other than about %40 of them being owned by Google.

Help appreciated.

I noticed that CO sends info to two different servers when you make actions. But that's all I found out a while ago. I'd help you, but I don't have CO right now. But good luck to you on continuing with this!

Hi,

I guess there are 4 servers involved.

1. Account server
2. Update server (patches)
3. Game server (where same as your server.dat)
4. Console server (I guess)

You could packet sniffering it.

Yea, I sniffed around, and during the game there are two. So I guess that would be your "Game Server" and "Console Server", Since I don't think that the account server and Update server get info as you play. But maybe though. I have yet to find those 2 other addresses though, but then again, I have not sniffed whilst logging in.

Hi,

Yes, you may only found 2 during the game.

There was an incident of account server broken down.
No one could login but game as usual for those had got in.

There was an incident on patch server, where Ester quest was postponed (^^).

Ah, was wondering what the fuss about Easter quest was:) Thanks for clearing that up:P

hallo...

the update server is contacted by autopatch.exe, and that's the first thing that happens when you open conquer.exe. update server so far has always been 61.131.96.29. the next thing that happens is a contact to one of those other IP addresses. this is before login, before anything.

My curiosity was piqued because of the discussion regarding the newer versions of SV, where the program was seen to be contacting Gmail, supposedly to give 9net9 passwords so they could hack people's accounts who tried to use SV without paying for it.....or so the theory went.

Now i'm not entirely certain that's the case. It seems conquer.exe itself contacts gmail at times. I tested a few things out on my old computer: I executed a newer copy of SV, uncracked, to see what IP it tried to contact, and it was definitely a Gmail IP. However, the conquer running on my clean system also contacts google IP's and every once in awhile an IP connected to Gmail.

The test system still contacts several Google IP's on startup (only once each start, not several), even without SV running. So now i'm curious about two things: the IP list that conquer keeps for what to contact on startup, and the behaviour of the uncracked SV.

Someone with experience looking at the code for SV please tell me, are it's attempts simplified to contacting home thru it's own .exe/.dll? or could it/does it get more complicated and modify or hook the conquer.exe for contacting home?

thanks for the input so far.

tell me the exact steps to get to connect to those two ips cause i've ran the game several times and i only get th above ips.
04/21/2007 21:14 section six#12
if you close the game and reopen it several times within a short time period, it will always try to connect to the same IP as the first time you opened it. if you wait awhile or try again another day you'll see a different IP.

04/21/2007 22:12 darksonic#13
maybe its the dns ip then? cause u don't need to update the dns every sec but rather it takes a long time and the company usually have several of those dns ips, im not really sure. Can u give us an example ip?
04/22/2007 00:25 bone-you#14
Stupid question I know but I must ask, did you have gmail open in a browser? :P
06/08/2007 17:51 section six#15
not a stupid question, but i must be a bit ignorant regarding this because i didnt notice or think to check it before....but... it only queries the google/gmail IPs when a gmail window is open. and im positive it is the conquer process, not the gmail window. but the conquer process only queries the gmail/google ip when a gmail window is open.
