    [CoD2][Tutorial] How to make your cracked server show up in the master list

    Everybody probably knows how cracked servers work. They do not use the master list so everybody can join their server. This causes that everybody gets 0 as guid including players who do have an original key. Cracked servers won't show up in the master list because they do not use it.

    There is a way to make a cracked server only cracked for the players who cannot join servers that are original. The workaround has two steps.

    First you gotta block the packets that the master list sends to the server that say that the player that is connecting isn't allowed to join the server, because he is banned or has an invalid key. This is done by blocking it using the firewall.

    In this case iptables:
    Code:
    iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m string --algo bm --string "BANNED_CDKEY" --sport 20700 --dport 28961 -j DROP
    iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m string --algo bm --string "INVALID_CDKEY" --sport 20700 --dport 28961 -j DROP
    If your server has a other port, change the dport to the port your server uses or remove it to make it drop every packet.

    Now there is one problem left. There is a ~30 minute delay for cracked before you can join them. So if a player joins he will keep connecting for a long time.
    You can fix this by patching (hexing) the binary like is done in the latest cracked binary. I compared the original and the cracked binary and this is how they solve this issue:

    Original (address 45429h) (patch 1.3)
    Code:
    80 4F 12
    Patched
    Code:
    9A 10 00
    This is binary i patched for 1.3: cod2_lnxded.rar

    Now cracked players can join your original server and you will still have your guid. Also your server will show up in the master list =].

    It's the same for 1.2, just a different address (0x4535D).

    This version got:
    - No Location strings spam (sometimes nice for debugging but most of the time just annoying)
    - VA-patch
    - cracked

    There might be a way to get a windows server on the master list. But it won't give your original players their guids.

    In windows firewall you can block incoming and outgoing traffic. For getting on the master list you need to send a heartbeat to the master server from cod2. So you only block all incoming traffic from port 20700 for port(s) your server(s) run on.

    Also you need to compare the original and cracked exe and fix the 30 minute delay in the original exe.

    I just checked it with win server 2008 r2 (enterprise) and it is there.

    Go to Firewall > Advanced settings

    Click image for larger version. 

Name:	fw1.png

Size:	20.1 KB 
ID:	347

    Now add a new inbound

    Click image for larger version. 

Name:	fw2.png 
Views:	1162 
Size:	17.3 KB 
ID:	348

    Now we are gonna set up the rule.

    Rule Type: custom
    Program: All or just cod2
    Protocol and ports: UDP
    local ports: 28960 (specific)
    remote ports: 20700 (specific)

    Scope: you could add that the rule only applies to 63.146.124.40 as remote ip
    Action: Block the connection

    Click image for larger version.

    Now your firewall will block all incoming traffic from the cod2 master server. Let me know if your server stays in the master list while blocking all their incoming traffic.
