Vulnerable: All Dnet clients when working on OGR project

Distributed.net was the Internet's first general-purpose distributed computing project. 
Founded in 1997, the network has grown to include thousands of users around the world donating the power of their home 
computers to academic research and public-interest projects.
There is a possibilty to send exact replicas of worked OGR (Optimal Golomb Ruler) project files several times. 
Therefore, an individual could gain fake stats.
