What is the ACTUAL difference between DMCA & Digital Fingerprint in Filesonic?

[XzJoNzX]

I said why,MD5 is the thing,ofc they will get delete by DMCA,but by fingerprint no.

[MovieZay]

So it's something all FileHost will start using you think, cause i'm using FileServe and never got this kind only DMCA.

I have rared yesterday some files, and not even shared them, but they got deleted by fingerprint as well.

So MD5 change and rar doesn't work. This is bull****, I will quit filesonic.

Change MD5 of original file, ReRAR file with Password, Rename rar to something short. Do Not include full release name or file name in rar file name

This will work. and optionally you can include rar password in rar comment, so you don't have to mention password every time you post file.

re-raring with Password should help but changing md5 (of the inside files or rar itself) doesnt work

[Arthur]

It won't help. I have tried it. We can't do anything

[champ of champs]

Arthur is right

they r deleting lol

[cvrle77]

It is not possible, by any means, that they can see inside rars, without password. Bruteforcing would take too much time. It is obviously bug unleashed, or something else unnamed. (some conspiracy theories come to my mind) How could they possibly have such a large base of new releases?? And wtf would they compare it with?

Is it possible that bots also take into account which forum, site where you post the file? Like for example the bot has a list of all warez forum/sites then looks for tags and then automatically sends DMCA to filehost for deletion rather that really checking what the file is?

Filesonic is using this fingerprinting system:

I have tested a similar system (fuzzy hashes) and the only way I found to beat it is encrypted files.

Split files, changed md5s, passworded zips, etc. don't work.
