Re: Clan SAS
I'm not entirely sure why, but StarCraft sends your CD-Key hashed within some client to client packets, this means if one were to intercept these packets they could thereby brute force the hash against all possible CD-Keys and thereby reconstruct your CD-Key. This however is a CPU and time intensive process and that's why it's always suggested to use the 26-character CD-Keys, they considerably increase the pool of possible CD-Keys, this will cause the attacker a great deal of frustration were they to attempt this because of the added time factor and large amount of false positives they would run into. Might I remind you, each "false positive" or invalid CD-Key is a 2 week IP Ban. It would take a lot of time, alot of determination, and really angry scrub to take a 26-character CD-Key from you. (these are the kind I give away)
If you really wanted to you could also modify StarCraft's memory while its running and patch the CD-Key out of the memory, this is something I usually do and purposely replace it with a randomly hashed invalid CD-Key for good measure.
