Yeh thats the link from where the halo game requests for data to display in that box.... kinda lame they dont even have a dir for it like "http://www.bungie.net/halo" they use "/perlbin" to store the file that halo uses to check if there is an update. But still this is a text file stored in the main dir?!??! what the hell!?

Anyway... its fun proxying halo and mucking/'corrupting' with the data it recives.
might release a program for it. "Kalo" hmm sounds like a nice name.. Maby tonight? weeeeeel see.

Thanks

Its the text displayed at the bottom of the screen that displays all the halo servers.

What you can do is edit the hosts, just add this to it:

127.0.0.1 207.46.203.28

207.46.203.28 is the ip of www.bungie.net

Then you make a program using mswinsock if you like to manage all the data comming from bungie.net so the program recives the data then edits it then sends it to the client halo.exe thus halo will be reciving corrupt data. (corrupted by the program)

You can do some funny clientside things in games as well. But you would need the ip of the server your playing in not bungie.net's ip.

I will most likly make and release a program that does all this for you so all you have to do is press a button. I might make it tonight, it'l be fun.

And if it says the Halo PC version, it's workin again!
