Hi everyone,

I was wondering whether there were any resources/tutorials that I could read that would assist me with server authentication.

Specifically, I would like something basic that does something like the following:

- Obtains a users hardware ID
- Communicates with an FTP server where a txt file (e.g. HWID.txt) is stored
- Compares hardware ID that was obtained when application was run with users hardware ID that is stored on the server
- If comparison is valid, let program continue, otherwise exit process

So yea I'm just trying to get into some of the more advanced ways of protecting your program from mischievous individuals.

If anyone could assist me with implementing a server authentication algorithm (written in MASM32) into my code, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
