Hi Helmut,


❝ would you share 15% of your honorary with me if I try to crack your code?

❝ My qualification: I validated an Agilent LIMS (HP LAB/UX) in the 1990s. It was both fun and scary to unveil how the audit trail was implemented (BTW, much easier on a Unix-OS than on Win). The system passed its first GLP-certification in 1997.


I will let you beta-test it :ok:
And true to modern style software making I will reward you if you are able to manipulate the audit trail or result without the program detecting it. I expect noone is going to pay me for programming this stuff, so it is rather acceptable for me to promise you 15% of nothing. Will add a bonus, even. :pirate:
However, if you do not manage to manipulate the audit trail or result without the program being able to detect it, then you have a choice of either of the following two severe punishments:
a. Getting thoroughly whipped by my ship's cat-o-nine-tails on the town square of Vienna.
or
b. Buying me a cold brewski next time we meet.

I imagine reverse engineering (decompile + change + recompile) would be the only way to manipulate it. Probably no way to protect any software against it, unless it is hosted on my local server and accessed remotely.

Pass or fail!
