LordSaturn posted:For those of us playing along at home - are you saying that the often-cited "signature" method of detecting viruses and malware is just an md5 hash of the files? That sounds distressingly inadequate. signature based virus detection is woefully inadequate and has been since like 2000 (I made the date up). It can NOT keep up with emerging threats or malware/virus creators that constantly change their code. It basically searches for the same string within the code that is seemingly unique to that virus/malware instance/family and flags it based on that, but if the creator figures out what that signature is, or just happens to change it out of luck, then the new version will not be detected. This is a broad generalization based on my understanding (which admittedly could be incorrect).
