I have a app which checks it's files aren't damaged/modified by using a list of all the installed files along with the CRC32 value of each file. The problem is, the CRC32 values don't appear to be CRC32 values at all as I have downloaded a utility which checks 22 types of checksum on a file and NONE of them have the same value as in the text file even though the files have NOT been modified. Is they anyway I can find out how they have calculated the value of each file ?

Do you do ANY of your own basic research before you ask such basic questions? This is what searching the internet is all about and you continue to ask the most basic of questions every time you find something new and clearly have done absolutely nothing to try to solve the problem yourself. Yes, I know you said you downloaded someone else's utility, which didn't work, but what basic research have you actually done on "how crcs are caculated"?

This is similar to your previous question in the "Help with ASM code " thread on the meaning of a simple piece of assembly language code, that almost ANY reference on assembly language would have answered for you, followed by the actual reading of the SICE manual. This is not supposed to be a kindergarden where you come everytime you have the most basic of questions about how code works. YOU are supposed to do the BASIC research YOURSELF. This principle is clearly stated in the FAQ. It is time that you FOLLOW it BEFORE you post such questions. Even using the search button here with "CRC check" there are 116 threads discussing the issue.

All of these questions seem to relate to your interest in one program using the Dallas iButton and you continue to make thread after thread which simply confirm you have almost NO background in reverse code engineering. This in itself is no problem. The fact that you fail to study and research BEFORE you ask such foundational questions is a problem.

And you MUST stop posting such threads in the "Advanced" Forum. They clearly are "Newbie" questions.

Someone who has been around long enough to have 35 posts should know better.
Dont post your lame questions in the advanced forum and dont be so lame as to ask your "pre" newbie questions in the newbie forum.

Harsh ??? perhaps but, you have been here long enough to know.

Mods--remove this post if you feel it is unfit, I do not mind at all

-CBO-

Well we have to realize that nearly all of markh51's posts came in two threads, which he, himself started, but that is no excuse for asking questions about general subjects that should ALWAYS be search FIRST.

This is just a minor reminder if everyone do their part on searching the forum
first before posting anything here,you will not see JMI's nag .I suppose you have never seen harsh remarks in the forum before LOL
