It's fairly secure. From what I recall, the serial hash is generated by the original serial being hashed twice via md5.
I'd say its pretty damn secure.

No, it's not secure at all. It's extremely trivial to fake a serial.
EDIT: Although it would be fairly difficult to retrieve the original, I suppose.

So you're saying if the hashed version of my serial was 1234 and someone knew this, it would be easy for them to tell the server 1234, but not easy for them to figure out the original. That right?
