For the record, this is the hash:
f768deaef22da979abcfb73c9175b54d71fcf891666c5449c1969c07c3cc8920
I've downloaded the image and reuploaded to /test/ but I get the wrong hash. My theory is that the image server calculates the hash from the uploaded data (byte for byte) and then changes the metadata so that the downloaded copy is not the exact same. If this is the case then Q just verified himself beyond reasonable doubt. Can someone prove differently?
What was your procedure with the Trump photo?
No, I did not download the thumbnail. On a hunch, I tried downloading as mime type "text/plain" but got the exact same result so it isn't a case of the browser itself modifying the metadata or the image. I'll conduct further tests but I think I'm right. That image could only have been uploaded by Q. Somebody has to prove me wrong.
The image that Q posted in the previous bread is here: >>15398686
I downloaded that and cannot upload with the same hash.
So the metadata did not change. Maybe there is no metadata in your photo. Or maybe Q insert special metadata that he knows will be removed by the server. Sneaky bastard.
The "AMERICA.png" part is not significant. If all of Q's flag uploads have the same hash then he uploaded the exact same image each time. He did that on purpose so that he could do what he has just done.
>Checked notables versus other news sources, so not sure if that counts tho
I use the notables as my main news source. If anything important happens in the world, this is the place to find out about it. I might poke through one or two breads to see what anons are saying but not often. I've been on the board for several hours today but that is the first time in over a month.
For some reason, he posted a few different versions of the image. There is only one particular hash that we are interested in.
This is my hash each and every time:
47062ee1100a448b8b921cef54d481eb9785acad20dd68ffb06ec1561db4033f
My uploads are here: https://8kun.top/test/res/82384.html
No. Download file name is not relevant. I already tested that.
It can't be IP address either because I've uploaded images in the past with different IPs and the hash is unchanged.
>copy from wayback machine
How do we know that the wayback machine is not modifying the file?
We need to be certain that we're all working with the same image.
For now, this is the reference image: >>15398686
Can't be random number involved. File attributes likely. Metadata. Q is fucking with the metadata.
>Because it works for other files.
Are you sure? Backtrack and verify if you're not absolutely certain.
Pig has mighty good taste in classic road hogs.
>It seems 8kun handles PNGs differently, which is very surprising.
We need to look at the metadata.
I think I have a tool here for that. Will check it out.
This is what I got for the metadata:GeneralComplete name : C:\Users\User\Desktop\AMERICA.pngFormat : PNGFormat/Info : Portable Network GraphicFile size : 31.6 KiBImageFormat : PNGFormat/Info : Portable Network GraphicCompression : DeflateWidth : 1 280 pixelsHeight : 674 pixelsColor space : RGBBit depth : 8 bitsCompression mode : LosslessStream size : 31.6 KiB (100%)
