Re^2: video & license keys

I agree.. but md5 hashes of the files weren't done prior to the hack. My task is simply to verify that the license requirement is in each file (there are many many different licenses due to the many sources of the files).

basically detailed requirement is:

identify files without license requirements

verify the license requirement metadata

Now, if I can determine if the file requires a key, then I'm nearly done. Racking my brain on this one :-(

All I'm saying is that those who don't learn from experience are doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over. Your friend has an opportunity here to, once he's verified that all the files are correct, to impliment some sort of signature on the files. That way, should this situation arise again, it's as simple as verifying the signature against the file. thor `Feel the white light, the light within Be your own disciple, fan the sparks of will For all of us waiting, your kingdom will come`	[reply]

Yup, I totally agree with you on this :-) She told me that she inherited the problem system and was writing up a proposal for just that when the site was broken into.
