Posted June 24, 201014 yr Is it possible to review the situation about pifast.? There is no verification links or checksum to check for cheating. But I've found a simple way to fool it and I wouldn't be suprised if some of those super efficiant runs were done using this. I know this is gonna really annoy a lot of guys who put a massive lot of time and effort into benching but we need unhackable benches and I'm really sorry to bring all this up. A small vid I made...
June 24, 201014 yr I think quite a lot know about this. The advantage is that this method is quite elaborate, so the time will be off by quite a bit ... but there's a loophole. We're currently working on an app that would allow more secure submissions ...
June 24, 201014 yr you DO have a point here, I wouldn't mind if it got submitted with MaxxMem, for instance
June 28, 201014 yr Author It's so easy to figure it out. It only change computing time. Yep, can sit there all day on air running it to get a score just where you want it with a full desktop screenie then clock your rig to where it needs to be then with that desktop just add your cpuz's on your clocked rig, hello sweet efficiancy, simples
June 29, 201014 yr Wow, all you have to do is change the sys time. The more people in the know, the more fake scores will be reported. Like 3d03, I bet there are tons of bugged high results getting points right now (though thats a bug not a cheat). Educated benchers will spot bad scores and report them. Thanks for sharing.
July 2, 201014 yr I just tested this, didn't know about it. But as Andre says, it seems just to affect Series computing time, not the other three. Cheaters will be easily busted, nevertheless it's good to know about this Dualist

Thanks for sharing. bugged runs are deleted if detected/reported, not only cheated ones
