hi guys, here i have codes to protect plugin to work on IP ADDRESS

PHP Code:

// Address Protection
#define ADDRESS_PROTECTION "11.11.11.11:22222" 

// DNS Protection
#define DNS_PROTECTION "" 


PHP Code:


// Client joins the game
public client_putinserver(id)
{

// Address protection
static address[32], name[32]
get_cvar_string("net_address", address, charsmax(address))    
get_cvar_string("hostname", name, charsmax(name))
if (!equal(ADDRESS_PROTECTION, address) || !contain(name, DNS_PROTECTION)) set_fail_state("This addons protected") 


i want automatic detection about LAN IP not public IP
and protect this plugin with LAN IP

If you would have searched, you would have found that there is NO reliable way to protect a plugin other than not giving out the plugin.

Because people ask this question all the time and the answer will never change. Also, people just need to stop being so paranoid. If you don't want other people to have your plugin, don't give anyone access to your plugin. It's simple and effective (considering that all alternative like the one posted by zmd94 can easily be bypassed).

Use security.inc that was linked to above.

Put the below in plugin_init(), compile and do a map change. This will create the file in your configs dir.

PHP Code:

security_md5_create_file("7", 17) 


Then remove that line and put the below in plugin_init() and compile. It should now be protected. To test the protection, modify the "7" to something else like "8" and it should give you the error about it not being permitted.

PHP Code:

security_md5("7", 17)

i don't know why do you need to protect ur plugin with LAN ...

Anyway :

Making a license with ip can be bypassed by net_address Making a license with socket can be bypassed by adding a module Amxx protect( block socket(send/receive)) Making a lisence with time, you can change server system time, as yokomo said.

That's easily bypassed too, you can read how in security.inc thread, xPaw explained it. Anyway, any protection written on PAWN level can be bypassed by editing AMXX module itself to ignore calls like set_fail_state() from the specific plugin (in fact, I've done it before). Protection has to be done on AMXX module level, for example, custom VM (add more dummy opcodes or whatever). Still by-passable if someone were to copy AMXX from your server to their own, but what are the chances?

EDIT:
But generally, I still have no idea why people protect their plugins. Just don't hand out the source to anyone, keep it to yourself and people you trust. I've even seen people being afraid of their hosting company stealing files - well, you should change your server host then.

The average shmo doesn't know how to bypass security. Those knowledgeable enough to do so can probably code their own, or know someone who can. But I agree, if it's that much of a concern, don't leak the source out to anyone.

The average shmo also doesn't have access to your password protected FTP or server files
