asciilifeform: one starts on front page of völkischer beobachter and american tv, the other - sits in cafes sadly and wonders why it gets 51%ed for 7th time
asciilifeform: it is not especially hard to distinguish gavin from covertress
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have 0 interest in garden-variety 'businessman of luxor', only in hitler's annointed poodles.
asciilifeform: so all of the boeckian products are recognizably similar in their nonsensical dance around the question
asciilifeform: we have here an arguable case of 'что русскому хорошо, то немцу — смерть' -- they cannot risk to import sanity.
asciilifeform: gotta love the UPGRADEABLE!11111 usb micros, too
asciilifeform: the interesting bit is that no servant of hitler ever need formally commision 'boeckware' - it is produced 'naturally', by herd of teenage imbecile alice_s
asciilifeform: 'Data coming from true random number generators is never 100% random. I am aware of no exceptions. Whitening is required in all cases before the data is suitable for use in cryptography.' << from first link☟︎
asciilifeform: digital oscillators right next to analogue circuit.
asciilifeform: no isolated power. usually no shield.
asciilifeform: phf: for some reason everyone insists on SAME kind of idiocy
asciilifeform: (if you're comfortable with arithmetic)
asciilifeform: phf: five bucks and a soldering iron buys you a very acceptable rng.
asciilifeform: phf: they've been surfacing for 20 years.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: looks like they're going for a 'догоним и перегоним' tack re phuctor etc.
asciilifeform: ly as it allows global adversaries to exploit this vulnerability class on a large scale. However we think that any determined attacker can repeat our research and get the private keys from publicly available firmware with ease.'
asciilifeform: well. These might be used in other protocols such as EAP/802.1X, FTPS etc. The data we are publishing allows researchers to reproduce the results of our study, find more cases or cryptographic key reuse, attribute cryptographic keys to specific vendors/products, but also to develop tools for detecting and exploiting this vulnerability class in the course of penetration tests. Releasing the private keys is not something we take light
asciilifeform: http://blog.sec-consult.com/2016/09/house-of-keys-9-months-later-40-worse.html << herr boeck drops privkeys : 'The data we are publishing consists of 331 certificates including the matching private key as well as 553 individual private keys. We've also included the names of products that contain the certificates/keys. Cryptographic keys that were not found in Internet-wide scan data (Scans.io and Censys.io, HTTPS/SSH) are included as
asciilifeform: the #1 entry is gut-bustingly lulzy to asciilifeform , because i spend ~half year auditing a multilinear-map thing for $rupturefarm, and even was sent to a 'conference' where 'serious cryptographers' did not even blink when someone walked in with a proof that whole thing was crock of shit☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: a while ago i briefly considered showing up at the 'pgp conference' but decided against. there is a difference between entomologist and those fellas who fuck wasp hives
asciilifeform: previously the weevils were largely careful to avoid being seen in one room.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i do not regard the now-explicit cooperation of koch with boeck as uninteresting.
asciilifeform: 'Plagiarize !! Let no one else's work evade your eyes ! Remember why the good Lord made your eyes ! So don't shade your eyes !' (tm) (r) (tom lehrer)☟︎
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu knows anyone in or near cologne, could try to crash party.
asciilifeform: haven't yet sawed open a set of these.
asciilifeform: incidentally i have nfi whether that dot is camera or just ir probe.
asciilifeform pictures the peter thiel call: t. cook's phone rings. thiel: 'ipnoje is not surveillatronic enough. hitler is displeased. the lien on your left ball will be called in.' cook: 'what do we do' thiel: 'well, you could make'em wear earphones with cameras' cook: 'brilliant, 360 degree coverage' thiel: 'it'd better be out by september'
asciilifeform: and also: 'The beauty of the headphone cable is just like the beauty of a tampon string: it is there to help you keep track of a very important item, and help you fish it out of whatever nook and cranny it might have fallen into.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: https://archive.is/Uow3O << mega-lol: 'These air pod headphone things aren't visible enough to signal to men that I don't want them to talk to me'
asciilifeform: 'By this time the smell of any other food gave me hunger pangs; I walked past a pizza place and nearly cried.'
asciilifeform: in other olds, 'However, after two days of eating MealSquares, I was desperate for anything else. I wolfed down my tupperware of weird gruel almost immediately upon getting to the office on Wednesday morning. It was the opposite of the problem I'd had with the MealSquares, which took me so long to get down that I wasn't physically able to consume enough calories in one day to properly function.'
