As a general rule in this type of situation (trying to exploit client
holes when there is a hardcoded server) I know of 3 choices:

-Compromise server
-Trick client into contacting your server
-Hijack connection

You might add compromise the client, but then you wouldn't need the client
hole in the first place.
