I am curious about the IDs that are used to identify items in winqual.

I assume it is some sort of hash. Is this published?

Hash of the module name, its version and an offset?

That seems appropriate but the size is too small to cover the possibilities unless some truncation/lossy algorithm is used.

This seems to be generated with the minidump on the client machine.

There are a few related questions on SO - but have not found the answer - I would like to generate a "signature"/bucket id to report a minidump/crash back to our issue tracking system. Since MS already does this with "bucket ids" I figured I could just re-use their bucket/signature generation. Can… >>> More

Theoretically does hashing a unique value yield a unique value? Let's say I have a DB table with 2 columns: id and code. id is an auto-incrementing int and code is a varchar. If I do ... $code = sha1($id); ... and then store $code into the same row as $id. Will my code column be unique as well… >>> More
