Pandora, Part II

If I said that I figured out how to dynamically unsign a strongly-named assembly at runtime, would it be a big deal? I've been playing around with Cecil over the past year and this is just another one of those interesting things that I have second thoughts about publishing because of its implications. What do you guys think?

I think this borders on a programming question!! ;P Seriously though... if you are having second thoughts about publishing something, it's usually for a very good reason...

Mea culpa. :P I wouldn't call it a programming question because I'm not looking to solve a technical problem, in this case. There are a lot of social implications to putting something like this out in the wild, and I think the lounge is the best place to talk about those implications.

Absolutely!! Hence the second (serious) part of my post above... /Edit I see you have yourself a univoter... it's not me...

my 2 cents, here are the 3 key points to consider: - it's cool, it's not easy to do without help, go for it! - it's a lot of work to write the article... pff, maybe later.. - I want to keep a competitive advantage from it in my super duper home/work/other application: do not publish it!

Is it anything more danger than dynamically deleting files on user machines at runtime?

I can dynamically strip the strong name off your signed assembly and modify it to do whatever I want at runtime--does that qualify as dangerous? :P

If you think it is something that will help someone, somewhere, at some time, and if you have the time then yes! Please post an article on it. Someone, somewhere will find it and go "how about that - just what I was after!"

I attempted to upload an article on executing code in an assembly that could not be found using copy and paste and it was rejected for "security" concerns. To bad because I thought it was pretty cool. I don't think there are many implications involved in unsigning an assembly unless you can subsequently modify the assembly keeping it loaded in memory and continue to use the original trust level.

what would you gain if you publish it? what would you gain if you won't publish it? if it can help then by god don't hesitate. cheers :D
