We publish technical research notes on file identity, game-mod archive inspection, and evidence-based security analysis. Clear observations, transparent limitations, and practical defensive thinking.
Cryptographic hashes are powerful tools for identifying exact file contents, but they are not evidence that a file is safe. This paper explains how file identity differs from trust, and why a reliable security assessment requires additional context.
File identity and file trust are different questions. Explore the limits of cryptographic hashes as security evidence.
