NOTE: I did just find some contact information for the dev, so I will be asking my co-worker to help me check with them on Monday.

Have you tried?
Not yet. This program came to my attention yesterday, and I have no off-hours contact information for her. Nor any contact info for the developer in the Ukraine.

The developer has posted in this thread.
It is in English.
It may be a reasonable starting point.

Thanks for the link.
I just now looked around there and the site was hacked :(
I hope they will get the forum "on air" soon.

Our site (http://distributed.org.ua) is UP already. The site was not hacked, but whole server in hoster's datacenter.

As for source code, caferace, you will not get it. We are not going to get bunch of clones of our product. Say "thank you" that you get free points (using Affinity Changer) with our help, while Pande Lab unable to spend a day and improve own clients (even when two months already passed after release of affinity changer) to fasten own Science progress

I am very much convinced that it is not too hard to write a program which bypasses a firewall (even a better one than ZoneAlarm) and which does not trigger an antivirus scanner. Because: if it was so hard, then why would all the security software need updating so often?
A-Ch's size is 20KB. Stop being f*cking noob, get a reflector and decompile source code. it is not encrypted. With your tons of flood you just show that you know NOTHING about security, why trying to show yourself like heroic antihacker.

incredible stupidity :shock:

this is my last post about this. please flood somewhere outside this topic, on your forums, preferably. thank you

license link changed to BSD. period.

Permanently locked.

I can also confirm that the source for v1.0.4 is "clean" and the program does nothing other than what is advertised.
