- VALIDATE Version 0.4
- From McAfee Associates
- (408) 988-3832
-
-
- *** NOTE:
- VALIDATE version 0.4 is being released so that VALIDATE
- will remain compatible with the /SAVE option of SCAN.
- The new /SAVE option changes the SCAN.EXE file, and
- the new VALIDATE will be able to compensate for the
- changes, so that the validation results before and after the
- /SAVE switch will be identical. This in no way impairs
- the validating process.
-
-
- 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 VALIDATE program may be copied and distributed at no charge as
- long as it is distributed whole and intact and unmodified in any
- way, along with this file. Please report virus infections and
- reports of program tampering to:
