hi im just wondering on how renguard actually works. i know it scans the files and stuff like that.. but how does it communicate with the actual server? does it just send an array of md5 hashes or something?

i'd also like to know about how bans are handled. like is it IP, or maybe the cd key..? and does both the client and the server validate a user? or does the server load up a blacklist and makes bans according to it?

of course, i can find out all this info myself with a packet logger but i cant be bothered.. Razz

i'd just like to know how insecure renguard is..

RenGuard uses a dynamic encryption routine to secure the communications between the client and master server. We're not stupid enough to communicate in plain text. If you want to create a bypass for RenGuard, first of all don't be stupid enough to ask questions about it in the official support forums, and second, don't be stupid enough to expect that anyone is going to help you here.

Perhaps a RenGuard network ban would be a great way to hinder your progress?


I'm the bawss.

Renguard is much more secure than you think Satisfied


When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"
