It is signed, there is a noticeable delay when opening the properties for the network install, and explorer.exe talks to a server to verify the certificate. After 10 seconds or so the Properties window updates and a Digital Signatures tab becomes available. MS signed it, VeriSign countersigned it.
Hah. "Countersignatures" don't exist in that digital signature world. True, the UI shows a countersignature. Both signatures appear to be valid, but I'm not sure what having Verisign's timestamp CA sign something is supposed to mean. openssl sha1 says the hash is 33:a8:fe:f6:0d:48:ae:1f:2c:4f:ee:a2:71:11:af:5c:ec;a3;c4:f6 Oh, and the download page claims that downloads from other sites are considered piracy by MS so you should all report the bit torrent feeds you're using ;-) _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://www.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
