Hi,
I wish to make all Amiga users aware of a potential problem with Poseidon that could be potentially detrimental to your Amiga's HardDisk.
This is a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black, or in modern terms hypocrisy with an added dajavue.
You don't have to take my word for it look for yourself with a hex editor inside poseidon.library.
If you look say at Offset 704
You see the following written statement.
"Lame cracking attempt detected RDB has been formatted in Elbox manner."
So am I correct in presuming that the Poseidon USB stack contains code which can damage the Amiga Harddisk contents and thus inflict criminal damage?
If this is just a mere threat with no substance I would seriously consider if you trust this bit of software and its author. As he prepared to merely jest at the potential damage he could inflict upon you.
If it is not an idle threat and has some substance Amiga users using any USB hardware and Poseidon stack please beware.
What would happen if a part of the stack or even poseidon.library would become corrupt. Would it misinterpretate this as a cracking attempt and hose your entire harddrive?
Validation errors and cross link files can occur very easily with the Amiga's. This could corrupt part of the stack and trigger its detrimental payload.
You could have a harddrive fault or transfer problem and the stack could be damaged in such a way it could damage your hard disk.
Or heaven forbid. A virus could specifically target the poseidon.library either deliberately or as a result of an infection and your harddrive gets hosed.
Do Amiga uses seriously want to take risks with your data and this software?
Has poseidon.library really potentially turned out to be poison.library?
A deadly chalice sipped with care.
How many people with USB hardware and the Poseidon stack have potentially already lost harddisk and partition information mysteriously?
