Well, if I was attaching my trojan to a legit program, I'd spoof it to the byte as well. Tends to fool the ones who think file size comparisons offer any security.

And yes, any developer should willingly supply a checksum. It offers no value other than identification.
Once again for the slow ones - all bytes match perfectly.
And why would he provide a checksum if you didn't buy his miner? He will send you hash together with an exe when you pay 0.05 BTC )

lol again, for the slow ones - its stupid trivial to spoof a file size to make "all bytes match perfectly". I hold a BS in computer science, you can trust me on this one.

It would be useful to the community to know if another piece of software, claiming to be something he developed, is legit or bugged (as has been seen in the wild). Besides, spmod3 doesn't provide the large margin compared to other miners as it used to. Because a checksum is only useful in identification, and because sp is a long time developer with good standing in the community, I don't see why anyone reasonable wouldn't do such a thing.

All of that is besides the point though. I don't care what was posted or where, I'm just arguing the point of thinking 2 files are equivalent based on file size. Grin
