From: "Pierre Vandevenne" Newsgroups: alt.comp.virus Subject: Re: 10000 Celebrity Nudes at www.nude-celebs.com Date: 3 Mar 1997 08:04:21 GMT Organization: DataRescue sprl At DataRescue, we have decided to run a wide scale test, using : -( 10,000 pictures of beautiful hot sexy Celebrities CD-ROM - ME#3 )- as a basis of evaluation for our erotic scanning software. : 600+ pictures of Cindy Crawford Were recognized by all programs and used to measure scanning speed. Cindy Crawford may be considered a real antiquity and we propose to use this set as a calibrating sample in the future. : 400+ pics of Pamela Anderson Were considered "extremely in the wild" and recognized by most scanners. P-Fort checksumming routines seemed to have a problem with the pre-boob surgery samples. They were however flagged as possibly an new variant of Pamela.Anderson. We had a lively discussion about that mis-identification, and finally decided not to give the points to P-FORT as these samples were clearly of an old variant. It is worth noting that the only sample with small boobs and black hair was missed by all scanners. : 200+ pics of Mariah Carey Were 100% detected by Dr Suleiman's program. Some suspicion arose when one member of our technical team pointed out that all samples seemed to wear the same socks whose signature might have been used to ease recognition. We have since learned that if you listen to Mariah's songs in reverse, you will hear an advertisement for DrSuleiman... : 100+ pics of Racquel Darrian - *WOW* For some reason, VAP spent a *long* time analysing those pictures inside out and automatically switched in deep redundant scan mode. The test had to be canceled because of cpu overheating, possibly caused by a nth complexity loop. : 50+ pics of TRACI LORDS, yes! Falsely flagged as older than 18 by Make-A-Fee. : 50+ pics of Daisy Fuentes, hot spanish VJ These samples attempted to piggyback TenderBite but were promptly stacked out of the program space by some clever entry point protection mechanism. : * 4000+ pics of other NUDE stars Caused a stack overflow in Morton's Clean Room. : * 4000+ pics of PG-13 rated celebrity poses The only ones recognized by MachoSoft's entry. Final score 40% : * Graphics viewing software for Windows3.1/DOS/Win95 Identified as Mother Teresa by "Invisible", the author of the program kindly provided three updates in an unsuccessful attempt to solve that problem. We were however assured that what we considered a bug was in fact a feature since it allowed the program to recognize all women, past, present, and future, as potentially erotic if nude. Special Problems We used a program by Roden Sorental to randomly create a few Freddy Mercury pictures among the 10000 girls pictures. No scanner detected them. BMI entry could not be tested : this is unfortunate because this program brings a lot of human-like intelligence in the world of erotic scanners. It is supposed to use the same mechanisms as humans to recognize and eventually eradicate erotic pictures. BMI was withdrawn from the test by its programmers when it became apparent that it spent more than 50% of its run time drawing nasty figures on the screen and it totally refused to even attempt eradicating pictures. -- Pierre Vandevenne, http://www.datarescue.com February 5, 1997 - The Day Disassemblers changed forever !
