-
- VALIDATE is a file-authentication program that may be used to check
- other programs for signs of tampering. VALIDATE uses two discrete methods
- to generate Cyclic Redundancy Checks (CRC's), which are then displayed for
- the user to compare against the known value for the program(s) validated.
- The known validation data can be published by the author of the program or
- be obtained from a trusted information database. The dual CRC checking
- provides a high degree of security.
-
- To confirm that a program is in its original, untampered state, run
- the VALIDATE program on it, record the validation data produced, and
- compare it against the record in the online database. If they match, than
- it is highly improbable that the program has been modified.
-
- To run VALIDATE, type:
-
- VALIDATE d:\path\filename.ext
-
- The VALIDATE program will then display the following information:
-
- Size: (#/bytes)
- Date: (file creation date)
- File Authentication
- Check Method 1: (a four digit CRC)
- Check Method 2: (a four digit CRC)
-
-
- The validation data for the VALIDATE programs for Version 2.0 are:
-
-
- VALIDATE EXE 16830 02-03-94 2:00p A77F A89C
-
