How to intercept DLL request to HOME server?

[JasonKwok]

I saw a post on this forum by a guru who taught us how to fool the DLL when it tries to authenticate back to the developer's home server.

 

The DLL calls to the developer home page to retrieve a .php file. If the content of the php file has the certain key word, the DLL will be authenticated. The trick was to set up a local web server, like Apache, edit the hosts file, and put the xxxx.php and the correct characters in this file. The DLL will be authenticated.

 

Wonder if the guru or someone could share the techniques to find out the followings:

1. the website address that DLL is going.

2. the name of the file that the DLL is looking for.

3. the keyword in the content of this file.

 

Thanks.

I've found Fiddler to be very useful.
