Also known as: random subjects
Replacing the descriptive subject line of a binary post with a random string, so that the header index carries no clue to the content. Traditional header downloading and subject parsing both break, since there is nothing to match on. Indexers that captured the post at the time hold the mapping between the random subject and the real release name, and serve it in the NZB.
