The first public release of Crack was version 2.7a, which was posted to the Usenet newsgroups alt.sources and alt.security on 15 July 1991. Crack v3.2a+fcrypt, posted to comp.sources.misc on 23 August 1991, introduced an optimised version of the Unix crypt() function but was still only really a faster version of what was already available in other packages.
Vanilla software refers to applications and systems used in their unmodified, original state, as distributed by their vendors. [1] This term is often applied in fields such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), [2] e-government systems, [3] and software development, where simplicity and adherence to vendor standards are more important than expanded functionality. [4]
Vanilla's open source project was released on 1 July 2006, and has since undergone many changes, the most notable being the complete rewrite between Vanilla OSS and Vanilla Cloud, the latter of the two became the primary product and Vanilla 1 was passed into the hands of other developers. [2] Vanilla 2, open source is still maintained and ...
A software build is the process of converting source code files into standalone software artifact(s) that can be run on a computer, or the result of doing so. [1] In software production, builds optimize software for performance and distribution, packaging into formats such as '.exe'; '.deb'; '.apk'. [2] [3]
Since version 3.1, updates have been indicated by adding an extra digit at the end, so that the version number asymptotically approaches the number π, so 3.14 effectively means 3.2 in semantic versioning. (This is a form of unary numbering; the version number is the number of digits.) As of February 2021, the version number is 3.141592653 (3.9).
Software crack illustration. Software cracking (known as "breaking" mostly in the 1980s [1]) is an act of removing copy protection from a software. [2] Copy protection can be removed by applying a specific crack. A crack can mean any tool that enables breaking software protection, a stolen product key, or guessed password. Cracking software ...
Reproducible builds can act as part of a chain of trust; [1] the source code can be signed, and deterministic compilation can prove that the binary was compiled from trusted source code. Verified reproducible builds provide a strong countermeasure against attacks where binaries do not match their source code, e.g., because an attacker has ...
The software release life cycle is the process of developing, testing, and distributing a software product (e.g., an operating system).It typically consists of several stages, such as pre-alpha, alpha, beta, and release candidate, before the final version, or "gold", is released to the public.
