Looking at Napster with HEdit

**Kzin** · Mar 21st, 2001, 06:25 AM

Just looking at the Napster code with a hexeditor a couple of minutes ago I noticed that Shawn Fanning is very keen on putting racially abusive terms into his software. (e.g. see offest 0003406E )

Has anyone else noticed this I wonder

What is it?

I'm too shy

and I don't really want to get into a Politically-Correct/Non-Politically-Correct flame war

There is a fair bit of that stuff scattered around the code anyway

- the point is that this stuff isn't so cool for a multimillion dollar ($15M) venture capital backed firm to be putting out

Sorry I had to suspend my not posting in Chit Chat to ask what is wrong with 3/4?.

What version of Napster have you got Kzin?

**Active** · Mar 21st, 2001, 04:20 PM

Even more appropriately what build is that ?

**Kzin** · Mar 21st, 2001, 04:28 PM

Quite right guys -

Version 2, Beta 5, build 2243

Maybe he took all that racial crap out cuz I got BETA 9.4 Build 4853 and all I can see is "3/4" at that offset as well. It keeps informing me there is an even newer version available for download. It's a shame the upgrade from 7 to 9 completely ruined the internal mp3 playback

I have the same beta5 but mine says push esi at that offset using W32Dasm

**Kzin** · Mar 21st, 2001, 05:57 PM

Is it the same build?

**Mega Muffin** · Mar 21st, 2001, 05:58 PM

Kzin, why don't you just tell us what i says. Nobody is going to eat you alive because you pointed out sean fennings racist comments!

**sail3005** · Mar 21st, 2001, 08:05 PM

could someone please post/email me a good hex editor? i need one.

**Mega Muffin** · Mar 21st, 2001, 08:09 PM

check out UltraEdit. I use it, it's quite good. It's a 30-day job, but you can *cough*easily find a *cough* crack for it

**sail3005** · Mar 21st, 2001, 09:11 PM

hahaha, thanks. I'll check it out, and if i like it i just may buy it. *cough* *cough* *wink* *wink*

HIEW (Hacker's View) is the Best HEX editor made Ever..

HIEW.
