Re: Nuke Cops bbtonuke 2.0.5 (Score: 1) by VinDSL on Thursday, July 31 @ 03:34:36 CEST (User Info | Send a Message) http://www.lenon.com/ | Yeah, security...
File compression utilities usually have some sort of checksum 'integrity' check available for testing whether or not a file was transferred correctly. However, it doesn't tell you if someone screwed with it intentionally. That's where MD5 comes in. MD5 creates a numeric representation of the contents of a file and displays it as a 16 character hexadecimal value.
So, let's say they release PHP-Nuke 6.9 tomorrow. They could calculate the MD5 HASH for the distribution file and present it to you, like they are doing here. When you run a check on it, and a different MD5 HASH comes back, you know someone has messed with the files. |
