How do I get the name of the person who is using the CD-Key if I try to connect and it's in use? (VB6)

Taken from BnetDocs:

Direction: Server -> Client (Received) 
Format:
Help (DWORD)       Result
(STRING)       Additional Information 
...
0x201: CD key in use (Additional info field supplies name of user)
...

Select Case nResult
Case &H0
Addtext "anerror", "Invalid CD-KEY" & vbCrLf, 1, True
Case &H1
Debug.Print Len(strCurrentData)
usedkey = Mid(strCurrentData, 9, Len(strCurrentData) - 9)
Addtext "anerror", "Cdkey In use by the installation name in brackets [" & usedkey & "]" & vbCrLf, 1, True

in that used key is the name.

I think he means he wants to know who is ACTUALLY using that key. Like the users's name.

Even if bnet knew, which it doesnt, it probably wouldnt tell.

I'd think that they know everything that goes through their servers, otherwise it could pose a problem.

Of course battle.net knows what username is on what cdkey. How else do you think they ban/mute keys?

i second cr4z3d's idea!

well...actually...bnet doesnt link cdkeys to usernames to dish out to people....it uses the value stored when you install the software (remember the little box above the cdkey inputs?) i have no idea where thats stored tho.............ooo cuphead thats a good idea, add a .InUse like CleanSlateBot1.InUse = "Bob the magical elf" or something...i dunno i just came up with it.......
ANYWAYS BACK TO MY ORIGINAL TRAIN OF THOUGHT!!

if you could find wher bnet apps store their "registered to" values, you could load a bot on your key, and try to login, and get the error (so you can packet-capture it) :O you could probably then use a IF-THEN-ELSEIF statement to display the InUse values....because 99.9% of bots probably dont have the file with it...and it would be a pain to change anyways..i think.......hmm am i rambling?

It's in an mpq file; get a cd key viewer.

I was actually asking how I get the acount name that is using my cd-key if i am connecting and it's in use. (remember on normal SC client when says: "Your CD-Key is in use by: <name> ")

I'm using a hashed bot. None of that CSB/BNLS stuff.

You don't. SC gets it from the reply to the CD-key check message, and it's just an arbitrary, short string specified by the remote client. Thus not really that useful, unfortunately.

Well I have seen many bots that are able to do this (eg: MadChat). Does anyone have the code for this?

It depends on what you insert your cdkey name as (This is good to tell what bots are ethbot or binarygateway ripoffs), you could always insert is as your bots base login name, but for the old login style, it would look something like this:

Code Select


    pBuffer.InsertDWORD 0
    pBuffer.InsertDWORD Len(varCDKey)
    pBuffer.InsertDWORD CLng(dblProdID)
    pBuffer.InsertDWORD CLng(dblValue1)
    pBuffer.InsertDWORD CLng(dblSeed)
    pBuffer.InsertDWORD CLng(dblKey)
    pBuffer.InsertDWORD lngKey
    pBuffer.InsertDWORD lngSeed
    pBuffer.InsertDWORD lngProdID
    pBuffer.InsertDWORD lngValue1
    pBuffer.InsertDWORD lngValue2
    pBuffer.InsertNTString "BuddhaBot"
    pBuffer.SendPacket &H36

the last string in packet 0x36 is the cdkey name, that the client extracts from the mpq and sends to battle.net when you login, so if you replace that with a variable of your bots base login name, then sure, you could WHO your cdkey is being used by, but if its not done by a bot, your most likely never going to be able to tell.

The only way it would be possible is if the user using your cd key is on a bot that sends the accountname as the arbitrary string Skywing referred to. Said string is the only information you will ever recieve about the person using a key through 0x50 or 0x06.

The programmer of MadChat may have mistakenly thought that the string was supposed to be the user's account, thus leading you to believe the same.
