In response to Aleph ones message Nothing is totally secure....The only security on the internet is being off-line....We can just make it harder to hack but hackers evolve and adapt.......

re: anti-tamper software

Thanks to all who replied to my request, although it seems I didn't quite make it clear what I was looking for. I'm not particularly interested in a strong cryptographic solution, as this isn't intended to detect intentional tampering - just unintentional, such as a bad spot on a hard drive or corruption. Turns out that Simtel has a couple of such packages in /SimTel/msdos/virus - CVIRPROT.ZIP is enough protection, although STEALTH.ZIP looked intriguing... I was, however, interested in what Fred Cohen said about there being a generic attack against such methods when applied to software protection against viruses (virii?). Is there such a generic attack, besides the obvious of jumping around the detection code? How about encrypting the executable, adding loader and decryption code, then decrypting the executable at runtime - would that defeat such an attack, or all such defenses doomed to failure? -- Ed Carp, N7EKG Ed.Carp(a)linux.org, ecarp(a)netcom.com 214/993-3935 voicemail/digital pager Finger ecarp(a)netcom.com for PGP 2.5 public key an88744(a)anon.penet.fi "Past the wounds of childhood, past the fallen dreams and the broken families, through the hurt and the loss and the agony only the night ever hears, is a waiting soul.

We are into cryptography because it holds the secrets, not to raising havoc, but the eldrich gods who inspire it. PGP is actually a plot by the Old Ones(tm) to return to the earth to rule again. Digital signatures are the invocation to open the gate. When the stars are near prime and the algorythm is correct, the Old Ones(tm) will rise from the curves of space and claim their place as the rulers of the TLAs.

Serial port radiation detector?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Sometime back during the RNG discussion I though I saw mention of a radiation detector that would plug into a PC's serial port and was fairly inexpensive.
