I'm sorry that I thought the thread had spilled over beyond the scope of the Subject. Since we rarely do that here in PHP General, I should have known better. :-) I don't think your work is "lame" I think it's "lame" to say it can't be broken without massive computer resources. And, actually, even with the MD5 technique... An MD5 is 32 bytes. 2 million images, sauteed down to 32 bytes each, is 64 Meg, plus some DB overhead. Plus an index on the MD5 field, for speed, but that cannot exceed the original 64Meg, almost-for-sure. So, a machine with 128 Meg DB is "massive resources"? I think not. True, you would use a lot of bandwidth and time to compute the MD5 hashes. But what do you think zombie bot Windows computers are for? This is an IDEAL problem-space for massive parallel computation, distributed across as many machines as a Bad Guy can control. So the "massive computing resources" turns out to be "readily available cracked Windows boxes", if you even need it, which I doubt. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
