[opensuse-factory] new package f3 for Factory
Hi, I would like to contribute a small tool to Factory: F3 (Fight Flash Fraud / Fight Fake Flash) This package contains tools for identifying fake flash drives (primarily USB sticks and memory cards). A fake flash drive fraudulently inflates its apparent storage capacity (far) beyond the physical capacity of its flash memory. Not surprisingly, using such a flash drive will, sooner or later, result in data loss and/or corruption. The main tools in this package, f3write and f3read, are an open-source implementation of the H2testw algorithm. Other experimental tools are also provided, among them one for using the actual storage capacity of fake drives as safely as possible.

very good, thanks (even if the package is easy to install), I use to promote this tool under the f3read/f3write name, because f3 is mostly impossible to find with google :-)) for readers: it's nearly mandatory to check any cheap large size flash memory (SD, usb pen). only some large ones are fakes (right now 128Gb and more are often fakes, two years ago it was 32Gb :-)). Many do not even survive the first writing. Fakes a paged memory= for example 8Gb when they are said to be 128Gb. be cautious and only buy from dealers that allows refund. I use amazon, ebay or aliexepress. in case of problem, do not speak about f3write, but quote h2testw.exe, the windows version (no vendor know about linux) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
