If you were trying to spread some secret-stealing malware, this would be a rather silly way to do it. Those compressed exes are quite common even among completely legit software. I guess he did it to make disassembly/reverse engineering harder - common precaution in a place where ripping off someone else is the norm and not an exception. That's likely why there is no source code neither. The perceived evasiveness I would really attribute to the language barrier. Whenever one of my students didn't actually understand what I am saying, they just kept going at whatever they were doing, ignoring what has been said. A western student would stop me and ask, for an Asian student it would be showing disrespect to the teacher (a big no-no), so they would stay silent and pretend to have understood everything. It took me a while to learn to deal with this. All that said, it could still be a hamfisted attempt to spread malware to steal trade secrets or something else. Or simply spam, trying to piggyback on OSG to sell some vaguely related product. But I wouldn't jump to conclusions - don't ascribe malice to what can be explained by incompetence :) J. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iD8DBQFTrIInn11XseNj94gRAuGkAKDYZAXyc8wKY5Ols/kOFxPpTR6x8wCeMjlZ 3QEqmXZMxIdvFkXZ/ZHq5mo= =bzSn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
