and as far as i know you cant know if there running bootleg versions . your just taking a guess like say you see a forum that some 13 year old kid is runnign or you know a friend or someone from work or school running one or told you it was bootlegged Or you ran by a site and read a thread about how they bootlegged the forum.
You could also look at some of the JS files in the vB Installation:

http://www.domain.com/forum/clientsc...etin_global.js

Usually there is a message in the header saying "Nulled by" whatever team.

Removing that 'callhome' does little to nothing in the way of hiding. If you're running vBulletin without a license you can be found out, with or without a nulled version.

I would agree. they null out everything but still can be busted. and if you have people on your site that suspect your site is illegal they willl report it.

So this was my way of making it easy for me and others that don't goto Vbulletin all the time to report piracy.

I'm confused, what would the point of this be? If someone was running an illegal copy of vBulletin, they wouldn't install this, and they couldn't get this plugin anyways because they wouldn't have access to these forums to get it.

you have to have a valid copy of vB to even download from this site.

Marco van Herwaarden 02-09-2006 05:48 PM
It is a hack for owners of a valid license to easily report a suspected board from their ACP.

Cole2026 wouldn't you have to have FTP access or cpanel to see the files? since most of the info is commented out of the actual file?

vBulletin should be pre-compiled (for example with Zend compiler) and the only way to add hacks should be extended plugin system.

Hey, and what about my own custom personal little mods to the code ?

Don't want to have to look in the manual to see where this ?+/&?" hook is located :)

I bought my license, so I want to be able to read the code and make modifications to it.
