Rip log checksum #29

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Is it possible to implement a log checksum for XLD rip logs.  This would take 
into account the rip log data and calculate a checksum for the entire log.  
Ideally, the checksum itself would be written into the rip log.  Thanks again 
for developing XLD and making it such a great piece of software!

Regards,

DF

The problem is, XLD is an open source software, and includes some GPLed 
components. As long as the sign module is distributed as a part of XLD package, 
it should be open source. And even if the module were closed source (by 
distributing the module as an additional plugin), the checksum/encryption 
algorithm could be easily broken with a reverse-engineerging such as 
disassembling. So, in my opinion, a security when implementing the feature 
under closed source is almost the same as open source implementation, in terms 
of cryptology. The only "secure" solution is to use a client-server 
authentication system.

Definitely XLD should remain open source; no question about that.  I'll look 
into the client-server system though.  Thanks for the feedback tmkkmac.

A rip log checksum tool has been released as an external plugin:
http://xld.googlecode.com/files/XLDLogChecker-20121122.zip

It works with version 20121027 and later. When you put the plugin to 
~/Library/Application Support/XLD/PlugIns, XLD will automatically generate a 
checksum for each rip log file.

Logchecker is available from XLD -> Log Checker.

Updated the plugin: including some minor changes.

XLD version 20121222 can check files with CLI.

There are a few files in the .zip file... do you but them all in 
~/Library/Application Support/XLD/PlugIns?

Only XLDLogChecker.bundle is included in the zip archive.
