    I think they have Simple File Verification (CRC32 checksum) and that's about it.

    Anyone else agree we should ban all instances of IdolEyes787 on the site as well?

    Wouldn't we be just doing him a favor?

    Hypothetically, if it happened, I'd request sole privilege of inviting him back every day.

    A CRC32 checksum is not unique to a single file, and can be spoofed. I don't know how easy it would be for someone to create a virus with the same CRC value as another file (I'm guessing not easy) but injecting random data into a file to while keeping the same CRC value, I believe can easily be done, and has been done on older P2P networks that used CRC32 for verification.

    So if you're going to use a checksum for file verification, why not use a more modern, secure one? (or maybe even include both, for the benefit of people with ancient computers)

    That's the long version for "that's about it".



    9 yay, 0 nay, that's a unanimous supreme court justice decision. So, like, would it be worth anybody's time to set something in place that automatically changes every instance of aiseesoft to imafag? Switching notes, I thought I read there's a way in vB to auto delete posts with certain keywords based on weight or something.

    That individual or group of people that keep spamming up the Movies & TV forum with rapidgator et al. links shoots for 50 threads at a time. I'm honing on this with unusual attention since I don't like it when the same people keep fucking up my rhythm.

    Haven't seen an adseesoft post in a short while, they on break or is there a special new filter?

    Also, the referral link posts seem to be heating up like free spoons at a heroin test kitchen.
    rapidgator and hitfile and what not.

    This latest raft of spambots are all operating on a similar timeframe as well as it seems similar coding. They appear between 10:00a.m. 2:00p.m. G.M.T. so roughly a four hour window. I am +12 G.M.T. so it is easy to correlate.

    Another carpet-bombing, this time an hour or two earlier than usual.
