That would be truly amazing since I could reconstruct a 680MB ISO from just 61d38fad42b4037970338636b5e72e5a. Wow!Technically, using an Infinate Monkeys approach, you could rebuild the ISO by generating the expentially huge quantity of all possible data and check them and find the one that matches the ISO.Not practical but possible.
Not possible. There are, theoretically, many 680 MB ISOs that have that hash. That you produce _a_ 680 MB ISO that has that hash does not mean that you have _the_ particular 680 MB ISO that produced it. -- Crist J. Clark crist.clark () globalstar com Globalstar Communications (408) 933-4387
