schestowitzqu1j0t3: are you aware of any brute-force crc checker?Aug 07 21:29
schestowitzhttp://www.tty1.net/pycrc/ doesn't do thatAug 07 21:29

qu1j0t3schestowitz: checker?Aug 07 21:29
qu1j0t3what do you mean?Aug 07 21:30
qu1j0t3you mean something that verifies that for all values, the correct CRC is calculated?Aug 07 21:30
schestowitzI found it in c++ <a href="http://conversation.which.co.uk/technology/patent-wars-apple-google-microsoft-htc-samsung/comment-page-1/" title="Tech ‘patent wars’ are bad for consumers"></a>Aug 07 21:30
qu1j0t3you're computing CRC over a block of data, right? That may be any length?Aug 07 21:30

schestowitzqu1j0t3: yes, verifier of sortsAug 07 21:31
qu1j0t3it's not really possible.Aug 07 21:31
schestowitzI also wait for another box to arriveAug 07 21:31
qu1j0t3all you could do would be to check for various sample values against a known-good libraryAug 07 21:31
schestowitzFor me to rebuild the server (compile) and then connect toAug 07 21:31
qu1j0t3you could do the same for a large amount of random data. it's a simple loop.Aug 07 21:31
qu1j0t3trivial.Aug 07 21:31
schestowitzI need to run CRC codes (one is mine) to check the values correspond in both casesAug 07 21:32

qu1j0t3schestowitz: yeah i get that.Aug 07 21:40
qu1j0t3schestowitz: just generate some random data (block lengths, contents) in a loop and compare against a know good routine.Aug 07 21:40
qu1j0t3schestowitz: that's all it is.Aug 07 21:40
qu1j0t3e.g. you're cloning zlib 's routine iirc so just compare with that.Aug 07 21:40
schestowitzThanks. For context: https://github.com/schestowitzAug 07 21:46

schestowitzWe have three things plannedAug 07 21:46
schestowitzBut the first challenge is making the build boxAug 07 21:46
