I now see that eyeballing the first and/or last few characters of a checksum is not going to detect a skillfully altered executable or ISO.

- sixstringtheory 3y agoI usually look at the beginning and end characters. Is this any safer? Does the difficulty scale the same way with added bits even if they aren’t adjacent?
- istjohn 3y agoIt's a little harder to change the beginning bits than the end bits, but adjacency doesn't matter.
