Many Unix tar programs leak uninitialized data into unused portions of the file. This is not unusual for C programs (unfortunately). The leaked data is usually just repetition of earlier files, so it wasn't obviously useful for anything.
Until I noticed that optimizations to tar programs tended to change _which_ earlier data was leaked.
Turns out, you can use this behavior to fingerprint the tar implementation pretty precisely in some cases.

November Sunset
Cento, Italy23/11/2012
(There's a story behind this photo. I was walking alone, attempting to unwind after a particularly rough day. Behind me was the local cemetery (the road leading to it).
I noticed this light and grabbed my Galaxy Nexus. Although the phone had a subpar camera, this time, with some minor color adjustments, it produced a surprisingly good result.)#Photography #Photo #Picture #Pic #ThrowbackThursday #Autumn #Sunset #Orange #FallenLeaves #November #Italy
