This is exactly the purpose of the SHA-256. It ensures that people cannot just match the file size and the file name, but the file must also contain the same content.

Then why aren't you using it on the file contents? From what I read, you're only matching name and file length for integrity. It would make more sense if you used a hash on the files as well.

Chat is printed out to the Blockland console, so they can see the chat through the remote console feature.

Ah, I see, kk.

Yes, I do use the hash on the file contents. That's the whole point of the hash anyway.
Java code:

Code: [Select]

public static final String generateHash(File file)
	{
		String hash = "";
		try
		{
			FileInputStream fileReader = new FileInputStream(file);
			byte[] data = new byte[(int)file.length()]; //will only work up to 2 GB; Blockland.exe is only 3.7 MB
			fileReader.read(data); //[b]This reads the file's contents.[/b]
			fileReader.close();
			//getting the value from the array
			MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
			md5.update(data);
			byte[] digest = md.digest(); //will take a lot of time
			
			for (int i = 0; i < digest.length; i++)
			{
				hash += digest[i];
			}

		}
		catch (Exception e)
		{
			hash = "";
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		return hash;
	}

As you can see, it reads the actual contents.

Thank you! I am glad I got a slot just in time. I am having trouble with the setup though, if you could reply to the e-mail I'd be happy. I am currently in the server you told me to join and haven't lagged or gone off-line yet for 1-2 minutes like it was suppose to.

The beta version is free, but clients have access to all features.
After the beta is over, there will be both free and premium accounts. Free users will not get as many featues as premium users will. I think premium will cost $3/month or something.

What type of features would premium users get? Also I think it should be $2-$3 so you can compete with competitors like RTB and Kaphost since this is cheaper.

Hammer is doing his very best to run this, the service is also very efficient too and he actually treats his clients as people and is always willing to help his clients whatever the time of day it may be. He is professional, and he doesn't slack. He takes the service seriously, and treats his clients more like his friends. I think that you should try the service out, it is worth a try. The service may not be a royalty 5 star service - but it serves it's purpose as being a quick and easy dedicated free server provider.
