Google's New PageRank Checksum is Cracked

This did not take long. The folks who cracked (and released) the last toolbar checksum are at it again. See the continuing thread at MobileRead Networks.



One of the MobileRead members, traB, has code you can insert on your webpages that will display both toolbar checksum values side by side. Any variations in the two will be easily spotted.



A new member to this forum is reporting differences between the old and new versions of the googlebar. He has these installed on separate computers. This has not been verified by anyone else yet, so I will leave that up in the air for now. If this is true, then that would mean there was a PR update that took place -- nobody would have noticed it unless they have the new version of the toolbar installed.
