Re: Key Hash Website Guide

Quick question..WHAT THE HELL IS A KEY HASH? xD..never could quite figure it out..even went to the site and stuff..been wondering for the longest time but could not get a straight and simple answer..help?
You have your CD key that you enter in when you install the game.
Your Key Hash is just a number that the game makes by encrypting that key through a process called MD5

The keyhash is ment to identify a player, without giving away the actual cd key.

for example, if your CD key is 1234-123456-123456-1234, when you MD5 encrypt it, you get d5653a22d3d14854c623ddd07f60c3e5 (the hash), no matter what program you use, you will never be able to get d5653a22d3d14854c623ddd07f60c3e5 to look like 1234-123456-123456-1234, unless you use a brute force hash attacker, but on a normal computer, it would take over 170 years to decrypt it.
this is why it is save to give away your key hash.
