- tgraham, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Anyone know how to get access to the binary search feature?
- rlamoni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8All the Computer Scientists out there did a double take when seeing the title of this article. This is because “Binary Search” is and algorithm taught to all undergraduate CS students (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search). In this case, however, the article’s author was using binary to mean “executable file type.”
- xXShadowstormXx, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10I hate Websense.
- leobaby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I'm sure this could be used for a multitude of other purposes besides viri search.
- JakeMcMahon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Any censorware sucks ass.
- coding, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Coincidentally Google recently discovered a flaw in the binary search algorithm in Java arrays when the array size was extremely large (in the billions of elements). Later it was reported that nearly every language has this flaw and it simply comes down to a 4 byte integer value being used to compute midpoints. I thought that is what this digg post was going to be about.

"Complaints about duplicate stories are not only meaningless, they take up comment space. There's a lot of interesting comments on Digg, and yours just get in the way." - ionut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22Signature%3A+00004550%22+windows&btnG=Search
- paradoxic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Nice feature.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes but just how do you use it.
Sounds like more vaporware than anything else. - Leo55, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3i can see the use of such feature on google new anti-virus/anti-spyware software which will be released on 12-13-2010!
Woot! - Spuby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Now you're digging it, but when I first reported this http://digg.com/security/Google_indexes_.exe_files_-_possible_threat nobody was interested. Anyway, it's cool now to see your blog featured on Pc World, Yahoo news...:)
Plus, I bet you that this "attention" to Google's indexing habits will make them change this. - suprfli, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3You probably hate Websense because you're a 13yr old kid trying to go to porn sites at your school. Don't complain about Websense. Complain to your administrator who sets the policies. If you have a legitimate reason to get to a website then there's no reason you should be blocked. You only hate it b/c you're trying to get somewhere that you shouldn't be...
I administer Websense where I work and we have a liberal policy. People can get to sports, entertainment, search sites and just about everything else. We only block malicious, adult and offensive sites. If an employee can explain why thye need to be at these sites I'd love to hear the reason. - lefthandedlinux, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3this is cool! i dont use windows, but the less there are of infected windows machines out there will greatly reduce the noise in the signal to noise ratio on the internet.
- Hashim, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1in Google search: "filetype:exe"
- c60chemist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1
People using their hosts file to block access to sites would like a list of these sites linked to malicious code. We don't want the code or the search results, just a text file with a list of URL's - marqz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Looks like the output of this tool: http://www.altap.cz/salam_en/features/portable_executable_viewer.html
- nevbear666, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2so, thats new with google???
come on, its a search engine, go figure. - osbjmg, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3B4 4TW! Solid communications skills, pal.
- OprJZigworthy, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3exactly.
http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=websense - namgge, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2Now if only the ESRB had one of these to check for hidden sex mods in video games.
- GoogleInc, on 10/12/2007, -21/+4this is not the orignal search b4 posting
