- Natanael_L 10y agoPolyglot files are trivial to create, that's the easiest part here.
- Aissen 10y agoI didn't say it wasn't, it was for context. Also you need to be polyglot + have enough space for the collision computation. I just checked, it should be really easy. A piece/chunk size in torrents is 64kB. The total size of each PDF in the paper is 2.7kB.
- loeg 10y agoA more common chunk size would be 256 kb - 2 MiB. Yeah, very doable.
- sp332 10y agoWell, you could put most of the payload in other parts of the file. People probably wouldn't notice if they didn't go looking. And the small part could exploit a popular codec instead of being an executable itself.
