It is not arbitrary and the user is prompted to download the data. The
data is verified against a hash.
You mean the forged hash, referring to the
self-modifiying data inside.
Did you even try out autodownloader
and understand how it works? Doesn't seem like it at all.
No, I haven't,
and I certainly will not try it.
I highly recommend doing that.
I highly recommend people to
package packages into rpms on rpm-based
distros instead of trying to out-smart themselves (which is what I fell
currently is happening).
