Slimjet Md5
Re: Slimjet Md5
You can extract .deb package just replace [package.deb] with actual .deb -file, for example foo.deb.
It's a bit hard to say, if some random file is a threat. Basic rule, don't install packages outside Debian repo, but if you need firmware or 'driver' to get some device to work, you have to make exception.
Code: Select all
ar x [package.deb]

Tupeelo, Slimjet runs quite nicely as an appimage without installing. Go back to the Slimjet site and download the zip package. Unzip it. Follow the instructions for running the zip package. In my menu I added

That string of characters is a hash sum. The small characters is how the program that generates the hash makes them.
You run your own
and the hash you generate is supposed to match what they have. If not, you don't have the same file they uploaded--either you got a bad download, or for more nefarious reasons (though hackers can also change that hash on the page if they've hacked the site enough to upload their own deb)

Re: Slimjet Md5
Why do you suspect slimjet of giving you malware in your browser deb? There's cautious, and then there's paranoid beyond reason...
But in either case, why don't you have a backup to restore instead of doing a reinstall?
