What is application control sum?

Application checksum is a hash calculated on certain segments of the exe file. Control sum check allows protect data from unauthorized modification.

Which checksum algorithm is used in MoleBox?

We're using MD5 algorithm, which is widespread and quite fast.

Does checksum protect only executable?

No. All the data files and DLLs may be protected along with the EXE file.

What are the benefits of control sum checking?

Control sum allows assuring that all the files remain unchanged and no file was accidentally deleted, i.e. securing the integrity of the original application suite.

Should I always use checksum protection?

No. If you're planning to apply another wrapping protection after moleboxing the application, you'll have to set CRC check option off.
