Vizcacha

Vizcacha is a defunct software project by Cas started in August 2009. The aim of the program was to provide a method of verification for replay handling. The project was abandoned when the strategy it was based upon was found to be unreliable.

History

Around 11 August 2009, Cas was making some tests on his laptop computer. He had found a simpler way to face the problem of verifying replay handling. At least, the idea itself was simple. After four nights of programming and testing, the program seemed to be working fine, so he posted it in the forum on August 15. When the community members started to test Vizcacha, it would either always report RH was not used or crash depending on the platform it had been run on. By late September, Cas had reached the conclusion that Stunts did not necessarily handle its memory the way he had assumed and to solve this, a lot more work was necessary. The project was abandoned by the end of the year.
