Compiling a forge version with malicious code of Prime95/mprime and
distributing it is maybe the simples and possibly most devastating
attack. Since the complete source (save for the Primenet checksums but

Yes. This is much the most likely "exploit". The other putative
exploits are IMHO so unlikely as
Hi all,
There is another, and perhaps the most important reason, progress on
double-checking milestones has been slow. When a double-check is sent in
the server does not have enough information to know if a triple-check is
needed.
That info is in my master database - 3000 miles away.

Hello all,
I'm looking for a primality test program source code written in VB,

Running Prime95, just made 7755 ranking. WooHoo!

like this, and not very good with precision either, so I
