mircea_popescu: wtf is this anyway, people decide to use a single key on all their boxes ?
mircea_popescu: i would say as a matter of policy we should immediately hijack, copy and completely wipe these boxes.
mircea_popescu: this seems to me not a case of "key baked in dsl modem" ; but a case of "someone is running software which can be made to create deliberately weak keys in certain deployment contexts"
mircea_popescu: so we have THREE pairs, all on the same /18, and with different large factors.

mircea_popescu: if it's factory baked, how come the collisions only happen in C blocks ?
mircea_popescu: you can be on the same list and don't even have to spend 1500 dubaloos.
mircea_popescu: so is anyone going to actually bother a) factoring the ssh keys found weak ; b) go own the machines, copy over their ssh agent ; c) hack it apart see wtf caused the collisions ?
mircea_popescu: good thing you can't use timings and other side channels to unmaks them when such a thing happens.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, officially-in-universe, all sorts of things happening for ripple also. to quote, "FXCH Ltd. clears first Blockchain-settled institutional Spot-FX trades", "Ripple named one of top 5 fintechs by Fortune Mazagine" etc etc.
mircea_popescu: "Tonga will be permanently shut down and all associated crytographic keys destroyed on 2016-08-31. This should give the Tor developers ample time to stand up a substitute. I will terminate the chron job we set up so many years ago at that time that copies over the descriptors." << if there were a bitbet i'd put a little on "there will not be a replacement in time"
mircea_popescu: o check it out, tor finally going to meet ripple in that happy space over the horizon ?
mircea_popescu: jurov from aluminum ?! with what, a 300 amp house wiring arrangement ?
mircea_popescu: so i should pay 1500 in new capital outlay to produce replacements for... roadkill ?!
mircea_popescu: yes, sure. if i was selling a rifle, and it had a wooden reciever, would you buy it ?
mircea_popescu: can you even get what you call "billet", but really is special alloy for rifle parts ?
mircea_popescu: so if i'm going to make like... three ? receivers, why buy this cuisinart for 1500 when i could just buy 3 guns and a six ounce bag from tyrone ?
mircea_popescu: or whatever you call the multi-folio piles of maculature that place produces.
mircea_popescu: he tells himself this is a stepping stone to a carrier as congress gofer - where he'll suck his boss' cock and do the same thing to "laws"
mircea_popescu: by now an idiot familiar to soviet journos is well at work in the "mainstream" media. his job ? stick talking points into unrelated items.
mircea_popescu: bloomberg piece includes the official ideological discussion of trump, check that out.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-17#1504265 << i suspect by now the "3d printed gun" is moreover useful ; afaik work is underway to the typically ustarded pivot of "we're not forbidding weapons - only working ones ; you can still have 3d printed plastic shit! it'll be just as good as the real thing for what you do with it anyway, which is to say jack off".
☝︎ mircea_popescu: a fool's game, all sound and fury, signifying nothing.
mircea_popescu: chiefly because... they're not in the business of turning out aluminum siding.
mircea_popescu: no media item in the history of items was ever profitable in the aluminum siding sense of profitability.
mircea_popescu: think : who's raping who here ? the game is not "does usg rape us or doesn't it". it's "have raped it yet ?" not binary but unary, only one final state available.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seeing how it comes with 1 bitcent = 100mn dollars, i would expect EVERYONE.
mircea_popescu: that's the revenue model of EVERYTHING else, why'd you go "i don't see the qntra revenue model" ? do you go around saying "i don't see the linkedin revenue model" ?
mircea_popescu: if qntra sells to... i dunno, who hasn't bought anything in a while, apple say ? for a perfectly market-reasonable hundred billion dollars, then a shareholder that bought however many shares for however many bitcents will receive however many hundreds of millions of dollars.
mircea_popescu: reydev anyway, nothing keeping you from joining... the web of trust. you'll likely be able to self voice, at least unless/until you go militantly stupid.
mircea_popescu: how not ? you own a share of x item that's worth a lot.
mircea_popescu: reydev why non profit ? it's currently worth more than gawker.
mircea_popescu: not even "bunch of illiterate kids reinventing the world without bothering to check up the dictionary first", but the usual case of "imbeciles still jacking off to the notion VC can stand up to MP".
mircea_popescu: ahahaha, christopher allen "principal architect at blockstream"
mircea_popescu: the only impact they'll have on anything is if i decide to use their skulls to remodel a wall. then they'll impact alright, and even temporarily color things.
mircea_popescu: imagine, some fucktards are going to have "the greaters impact" on "self-sovereign identity"
mircea_popescu: for any value of fine that reduces to "flail meaninglessly among themselves"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for as long as they have the sense to stay out of the reach of the fortress that sunk teh ether-dao, they'll be fine.
mircea_popescu: can you imagine all the dudebro biscuit eating going around in poorly lit, unventilated basements while chanting my name and pretending the bit of plastic up their butt is really my penis ?
mircea_popescu: isn't this proof positive of DELIBERATE broken ssh key generation ? ie, context-dependent ?
