Yes this isn't hard to get around. Load up a virtual machine and the HDD serial is different, the MAC address for the adapter is different, username, computername etc etc. but the CPU and BIOS info remain.
Do this on a PC there are tools out there to change the MAC address and a way to modify the registry key, spoofing the HDD serials. You can even play at a friends house provided he/she hasn't been banned :P
The HARDWARE in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is where I believe the whole thing makes or breaks it. This key is compiled on kernel bootup and contains info about the BIOS, CPU and various other stuff. In WINE for linux (why on earth would you launch WINE to run ac?), this key is consistent in obtaining the BIOS & CPU so that info wont change.
By multifactoring a bunch of computer values together to validate that particular individual, it is going to be a big pain in the ass to try and circumvent
it. If even 1/10 values is forgotten to be spoofed, the ban will still be in effect.
I'm still gonna work on it in hopes it could be implemented some day.
@U|Zarj - What if the information was hashed once and that hash prepended to each packet and checksummed? Albeit it may be slow, but if the packet was modified it would know and reject it.
