I modified code from this SHA1 cracker. Good enough evidence?

My 8800GT gets about 100 million passwords per second when cracking MD5 and SHA1 hashes. I thought the CELL was supposed to make the PS3 faster?
All the things you specified are software based, and as others have already said, you can get the source of that right now.
Bittorrent has data integrity checks for every chunk
So does edonkey. These people have no clue what they're talking about.
Brass Eye put the head of a child on a nude body. Arrest them!
I worked on an ROV simulation back in the 90's and we needed to keep track of how many times the ROV turned around because twists accumulate in the cable. At some point you may have to sit in place and spin for a bit to undo the twists. Terrible things happen when the tether gets too twisted.
Why aren't you doing the un-spinning at the top of the cable? Seems like it would be better than spinning around at the bottom.
The good thing about standards is that there are soo many to pick from!
Seriously, "file" works by checking magic bytes, that is correct. What is also correct is that there are a thousand different ways these magic bytes are stored and found. Some formats, like MP3, don't even have reliable magic bytes.
archive.org is not Archive Team.
Sure we would know a lot more about them but we would have so much material we would never be able to sift through it and preserving it all would probably consume damn near all our resources. Further more we would probably struggle to determine what the people of the time found important and what drove them.
If there only was some kind of program that could sift through billions of documents and automatically index them and rank them according to relative importance. Some kind of searcher. Too bad nothing like that exist.
Fuck these guys.
They didn't hit just abandoned wikis. In fact, when they first started doing this back in January, they didn't leave any information about what they were doing, and they used proxy servers to hide where they came from.
Evidence, my wiki was hit and I had no clue what was going on.
Any system which fails permanently due to a single bit error is unstable and not robust (in the numeric sense). If the system is really critical, you should better be ready for bit errors.
Newsflash - 99.99999999% of all CPUs in use won't tolerate bit errors. Get a jump address or opcode wrong, and the program you're running is toast.
They should just publish their code.
They did.
The Full Disclosure link contains the source code of their program.
After all, it's not like you'd look in your carryon half-way through the flight, find a gun you didn't expect there, and go "OMG! Got to hijack the plane!"
And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm' without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail. No exceptions. -- David Jones
