Limitation of the global cache mechanism? #74

Closed Arunm619 closed 2 years ago

Arunm619 commented 2 years ago

Stackzy uses a gloabl caching mechanism, which works as a centralized caching system. Means, if someone decompiled WhatsApp, the next time you try to find the stack, it won't be decompiled and the result will be served from the cache.

What if the decompilation done was done long back, and the new requests with more recent APKs are also served with stale data.

We also store and match the versionCode of the APK decompiled. 😉
