all executables can be modified because they run in memory. there is no way to stop people from cheating.


one thing we could do is require a valid name address and phone number for every member of XS.... but most people will say "no I want my privacy!!!" guess what, noone has privacy lol

What if the executable was randomized somehow and only valid for 6 hours or something, you gotta pass the test in a given time frame or you are pooched.

option B

Use VNC to allow a "referee" to administer the test on a user's system. the user tweaks the setup, requests verification, remote administrator executes.

Pretty easy to dial in on VNC, and download linx / CPU-Z and super Pi

If people are really that hardcore and want to prove validation...remote access for a few mins is no big deal. You could even have opposing teams administering the tests to thier competitors, ensuring no monkey business and encouraging the competition. Anyone hardcore tweaking won't be storing vital data on the test rig, and as far as security is concerned..just unplug your lan cable or kill the VNC client..no one gonna get hacked from this. How fun would it be to try and prove your worst enemy is full of BS.
