The scanning software phones home to check for updates as well as to ensure you are using a valid license.

To avoid an internet outage keeping us from being able to scan, we have spoofed the server response to the license check. The client machine's hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) should be set to redirect requests intended for the license server to infusion instead. See Hosts File.

Infusion is running IIS with a plain text file right now (http://infuserv/activate.aspx) that only contains the spoofed response.

Update url: www.seacolt.com/downloads/scanupdates.txt (dead as of October 15, 2015)

• License url: http://license.seacolt.com/activate.aspx
• License key used for this example: Q84QX-2SF9S-5Z6DI-ZG72G

The license verification posts arguments as follows to the license url:

• sn=E8A66832C436CB98B54B6E47F147CCC45F7E0C17FB291140
• mid=3899FA41CB952C045359FF7E6D343A4C

SN is the symmetrically encrypted cd key. Mid is an identifier based on the detected hardware on the machine. (Video driver changes affect this.)

A plain text response of CC054B68F2937B3A is an encrypted response which decrypts to RUN and indicates success for that request.

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# For example:

#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host
 
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
