Re:Check those MD5s! (Score 1)

Presumably the authentic author has their own md5 hash for the pacakge that they posted to news groups the moment after it was generated. Now even if the the Authenic author own bocen is haX0red he/she can in 128 bits flat figure out that it's been tampered with. I think that the best we can expect from the situation where the Publishing site has been HaX0red is that the authentic author can detect it in a resonable amount of time.
