It seems you do not understand the nature of CRC. "Faking" a CRC is
trivial, and is the most basic property of CRC. Better remove the
mention of CRC from your web site, it's embarassing!

Faking a MD5 checksum is not impossible nowadays, but still harder
than winning a contest. And not required at all for "cheating".

Now you tell me how the contest will verify the MD5 checksum
(practical example, not some theoretical contest organized by some
uber-geek), and I tell you how to get around it easily.

(There are enough catch-all cheats that not even the aforementioned
uber-geek will notice, but I'm curious how you imagine the
verification procedure will work in practice)

and make the TRI it fit inside the same number of bytes of the
code.


Don't be silly. That one is just as trivial as "faking" a CRC.
