[News] Security warning: Elbox' pci.library also contains RDB trashing code | ANN.lu |

Elbox' pci.library also contains code that can trash a users's harddisk RigidDiskBlock. This time I provide informations on how to find the code.
Since not everyone was convinced that the code is present in their drivers I provide a step by step information with a GNU GPL decrypter with extensive explanation. This works with pci.library (tested with version 5.6).
All source code is provided, there's no trick, you can verify all by yourself.
Find it here.

Security warning: Elbox' pci.library also contains RDB trashing code : Comment 4 of 32 | ANN.lu |

Would give a different checksum, and as I understand it the driver
would stop to work once it has found a wrong one. You would need
to replace/patch the checksum-routine too.
Or just send the board back with a note why .... |
