Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
To pad the file size out you would need to reverse the binary and add CPU NO OP instructions (essentially a no-op sled). roughly, you need to find the current actual size and the needed size, find cpu documentation detailing CPU op-codes, disassemble the binary, add the nop instructions till it...
No Longer an issue for me, the cost of 1TB RE 4 WD drives has fallen drastically. from the mid $400 price point to less than 200 dollars. This puts it within range of the 1001 FALS.
