How to protect our plugin from stealing.

[mharisrazaa]

Hello everyone,

i am hoster of cs 1.6 servers. i want to know that how can i protect my plugin from stealing, i saw too many hosters that they protect their plugin from stealing, means if client download plugin it'll not work.

or give me script that only works on my host. specific host. Plugin should be work on specific host that mentioned in script like:

Just Example ( i don't know how to code small scripts):

Код за потвърждение: Избери целия код

protect {
            if Host == "0.0.0.0"
            plugin enable:
            }
else:
print("Plugin cannot be workable");

i just gave example, not exact code, even i don't know which language i use but it is understandable.

If you don't trust your host, change it?

There's no protection method that cannot be bypassed. The IP one mentioned in your example is the easiest one to cheat.

I myself is hoster. i own a hosting: www.harishosting.com.

i dont want to allow my clients to download our plugin, i just forbid the folder but theres a lot of problem forbidding the folder means client can't add his own plugin if folder access is restricted, i just want a script that can addable in plugin's sma and plugin should be work on only Mentioned ip not others host, means client borrow a server and he downloaded all of our plugins and runs it on their server? is not it bad?

so give me script like this.

okay i got something, but here is one thing:

Код за потвърждение: Избери целия код

new const g_szServerIP[ ] = "SERVER.IP.HERE:PORT";

public plugin_init( ) {
register_plugin( "Server Protection", "0.0.1", "AMXX Community" );
CheckValidServer( )
}

public CheckValidServer( ) {
new szIP[20];
get_user_ip(0, szIP, charsmax(szIP), false);

if( !equal(szIP, g_szServerIP) )
{
set_fail_state("UnAuthorized Use Of Plugin!");
}
}

i don't want a specific port, just ip address would be great.

amx_cvar "ip your.ip.here"

Done, protection bypassed.

Sorry? You want to protect your "plugins" ? You're the one stealing them and copying other people servers.. lmao

What about setting the permission of the plugin to 000? Not sure what will be the result but if that does not work use your solution few posts above + forget about bypassing, clients are not that tech savy and won't reverse your protected plugin even if the protection is weak.
