Security Control Toggles

Enable or disable security features to control license validation behavior:

Hardware ID Binding

Lock licenses to specific hardware on first use:

Mode	Behavior
BIND	License permanently binds to first HWID used. User cannot authenticate from different hardware without reset.
IGNORE	No hardware restriction. License works on any hardware. User can freely change devices.

IP Address Binding

Lock licenses to specific IP address on first use:

Mode	Behavior
BIND	License permanently binds to first IP address. User cannot authenticate from different IP without reset.
IGNORE	No IP restriction. License works from any IP address. User can freely change locations.

Anti-VPN Protection

Block authentication from VPN, proxy, and datacenter IP addresses:

State	Blocked Services
Enabled	Commercial VPN services (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, etc.) Proxy servers (HTTP, SOCKS, transparent) Datacenter IP ranges (AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean) Tor exit nodes Known anonymization services
Disabled	All IP types allowed including VPNs and proxies

Authorized Application Hashes

Whitelist SHA-256 hashes of legitimate executable builds to prevent modified, cracked, or tampered versions from authenticating.

System Operation

1. You add SHA-256 hashes of your official executable builds to the whitelist
2. During authentication, the client calculates and sends its executable hash
3. Atlas verifies the hash against your authorized whitelist
4. Only executables with matching hashes are allowed to authenticate
5. Unrecognized or modified executables are denied immediately

Adding Authorized Hashes

Two methods are available for adding hashes:

Method 1: File Upload (Recommended)

1. Click Add Hash
2. Click Upload File button
3. Select your .exe or .dll file
4. SHA-256 hash is automatically calculated by the browser
5. Add optional description (e.g., "v1.2.3 Release Build", "Steam Version")
6. Click Save to add to whitelist

Method 2: Manual Hash Entry

1. Calculate hash using command-line tools:
   • Windows: certutil -hashfile app.exe SHA256
   • Linux: sha256sum app.exe
   • macOS: shasum -a 256 app.exe
2. Click Add Hash
3. Paste the 64-character hexadecimal hash
4. Add optional description
5. Click Save

Managing Hashes

The authorized hash list displays:

• Hash Value - Full 64-character SHA-256 hash in hexadecimal
• Description - Optional label for identification (version, build type, etc.)
• Added Date - When the hash was added to whitelist
• Delete Action - Remove hash from whitelist (executable immediately blocked)

When to Use Hash Validation

• Prevent Cracks - Block modified executables with patched authentication
• Version Control - Only allow specific application versions to authenticate
• Distribution Security - Ensure users run official builds from authorized channels
• Anti-Tamper - Detect and block executables modified by third parties

Multiple Hash Management

You can add multiple hashes to support:

• Multiple concurrent application versions (v1.0, v1.1, v1.2)
• Different build configurations (Debug, Release, Steam, Standalone)
• Platform-specific executables (Windows x64, Windows x86, Linux)
• Regional or localized builds

Saving Security Settings

After configuring security toggles (HWID Binding, IP Binding, Anti-VPN), click Save Security Settings to apply changes. Settings take effect immediately for all new authentication attempts.
