Very early this morning we received a report that the SETI@Home site had been changed for some odd reason. In addition, there was an unexplained server crash on the 13th. These things combined lead to a very disconcerting situation.
Our concern at ISC is a _possible_ compromised SETI client that would allow unauthorized access into the machine(s) on which it resides. As with any software published for public consumption, it is always a good idea to have MD5 sums or PGP to go along with it. We are _strongly_ encouraging all users who have downloaded the client to double check that what they have downloaded is the correct version and date/time stamp. These are the md5 checksums for the release which is currently posted on the SETI@Home website as of 9/19/04. 5322fb39dd6af736bc8aee6c31db35b8 *boinc_4.09_i686-pc-linux-gnu.gz ca69109543ed734e8cbf95e2ac3b3f86 *boinc_4.09_powerpc-apple-darwin.gz cf69d759218db851461fb94c4ff6409f *boinc_4.09_sparc-sun-solaris2.7.gz a0ebd49d9f445b732c6194637b786794 *boinc_4.09_windows_intelx86.exe Contributors: Michael Haisley Johannes Ullrich Marcus Sachs Tony Carothers Handler on Duty tonydotcarothersatgmaildotc0m |
