REQUESTED: Old hashes

[Don Cullen]

If you have any hash, from the oldest to the newest for any Battle.net related Blizzard game, I'd appreciate the donation for BNETDocs.

For StarCraft, I already have:

1.08, 1.09, 1.09b, 1.10, 1.11, 1.11b, 1.12d, 1.13e, 1.13f 1.14, 1.15.1

And yes, even the current hash will be accepted.

Visit http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/ for a variety of older patches.  It looks like some of the very old Starcraft ones have been pulled.

To get you started, the hashes for Diablo 1 v1.09 are 2119e1c8b818c27a06948979560cdeb4bec9ae65, a8d7f56fd81976e98e7dadf0efae4625f6749b84, and c4033b9301a9a176804b90d2da9c21db727d5949.

Good one Kp. I have only myself to blame for not being more specific. I was referring to the files used for hashing.

Like, md5.exe?

The binary files used in Battle.net 'CheckReivion' function inside of there MPQs which are used on Battle.net to verify the integrity and version of the product installed on the end user's machiene.
The files for CheckRevision on bnet.

Hdx pretty much got as specific as anyone could have as to what I was referring to. I was gathering the files used in hashing for him and for placement in BNETDocs' archives.

However, further contributions are no longer necessary. Kp has pretty much given me the solution I needed. All that is needed to do is to install the oldest possible copies of each game, go to http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/ , download from the oldest to the newest, apply the patch and save the results to the archives, then move on to the next patch. While I do not have certain games (such as W2BN), that's easily remedied.

Thank you all for your time.

Version check files?  I always never understood why people called them hash files.

[Hdx]

MM, Len(VersionCheck) > Len(Hash)
Ive head them called checksum, rev, ver, vercheck, hash, and an ungodly ammount of other names.

That is not entirely accurate.  There are some versions which were in use on battle.net for a noticeable period of time, but which are not available from the Blizzard ftp server.  For those versions, you will still need to find someone who has that version, or at least the Blizzard patch that creates that version from an earlier one.

[Hdx]

Speaking of that, I'd also be interested in any patch MPQs you guys have.

Out of curiosity, what could anyone possibly want with old hash files?

Documentation, downgrading private servers (for hacking or exploits), and of course theres always comparisons between old files with new to find similarities or patterns.

IIRC PvPGN doesn't check the validity of version checks.
