aTriz, would you please briefly describe what happened from your perspective?
One or 2 days after the sig deal, she pmed me about a script, then she sent it to me and I tested it out for 10 mins and then posted review
So, to be clear: She solicited your involvement—you did not just happen to see the thread, and jump in. Is that correct?
(I am still also asking the SHA-256 hash of the script.)
What's this and how do I do it?
The SHA-256 hash (same as used in Bitcoin) will positively identify the file, without revealing its contents. If the script then were to be later revealed by any means, either publicly or to a private auditor, it could be affirmatively verified whether or not it is the same script as you now have in your possession. Changing even one byte—even one
bit of the file would change the hash value.
An example of what a SHA-256 hash may look like (here represented in hex):
e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855
By posting a hash, you would be making a
cryptographic commitment. As long as you can produce a file
exactly matching whatever hash you post, nobody could later accuse you of changing the script, or substituting a different script. — And yet, you would not be revealing the script.
Thus, my suggestion that you post a hash. scam_detector has called on you to reveal the script itself. I have suggested that it would be wiser to have your
commitment to the identity of the script, and then discuss what should be done about the actual script.
Assuming that the file is named “alia_script” (substitute the appropriate name), on Linux:
On Windows (not sure which versions):
certUtil -hashfile alia_script SHA256
On Mac: Don’t know. On FreeBSD, it would be “sha256 alia_script”; but I seriously doubt you be on FreeBSD.
After conversion,you can send the HEX/base65 encoded generated hash to nullius.
To be clear, I was suggesting that the hash should be posted here in this thread. Do you suggest otherwise? Depending on what it be and why, I may not mind taking custody of evidence in this matter (hash or otherwise).
