asciilifeform: who else.

asciilifeform: 'unbreakable cryptographers!' clearly

asciilifeform: sci.crypt crackpots were every bit as entertaining as the sci.physics ones

asciilifeform: this kind of circus is one of the thing i miss about usenet

asciilifeform: ming to understand my design. I will be happy to send you a copy of my patent application so you can evaluate the veracity of my claims if you will sign a notarized non-disclosure agreement.'

asciilifeform: so, via this heathen pit, http://www.whoismcafee.com/the-travel-guide : 'Dr. McAfee, I have spent the past thirty years perfecting an unbreakable encryption algorithm. My algorithm is not just unbreakable for all practical purposes it is theoretically unbreakable. The advent of quantum computers will not change this. The mathematics confirming my claim is indisputable. You no doubt have sufficient knowledge of mathematics and program

asciilifeform: fiatola was printed in china before euro folk climbed down from the trees, or what it was.

asciilifeform: point.

asciilifeform wonders if 'physical btc' is largely a stale and dead scam, or still lively somewhere.

asciilifeform: already maxed dosimeter.

asciilifeform: i followed the qntra link, that's it.

asciilifeform: leeeeet's pass a box with privkey around, round, round, and pray that nobody peeks in

asciilifeform: 'physical btc' is one of those items that is FRACTALLY a bad idea. with disaster waiting at EVERY possible junction.

asciilifeform: dafuq.

asciilifeform: 'i opened the money-promise box and it had 0, but i do not accuse the vendor of scam'

asciilifeform: lulzy.

asciilifeform: 'Either that company was running a scam (and I do not actually accuse them of that) or they were retaining backup copies of the private keys they generated (which they never should have done) and they were stolen by either a hacker or an employee.'

asciilifeform: waiwut

asciilifeform: any of the places this crapolade was pushed.

asciilifeform: but srsly i wonder if there is ANY discussion of 'the fella who generated the keys may have copies and you will NEVER prove the contrary' in, e.g., tardstalk, wherever.

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: 'who could have foreseen!'

asciilifeform: ;;later tell BingoBoingo http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-06#1498063 << thread. ☝︎

asciilifeform: but afaik it was ever in just that one thread. here.

asciilifeform: ;;later tell BingoBoingo http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-22#1508545 << i suggest link to the thread ? or if somebody ( mircea_popescu ? ) ever had an article-length exposition of subj -- to that. ☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re earlier, these factors are 1024 bt long. the longest ssh popped prior, had 512b-long factor.

asciilifeform: then why bother ?

asciilifeform: only so that possibly somebody answers this time!11

asciilifeform: (to date, nobody answered when asciilifeform wrote. perhaps he lives under a curse)

asciilifeform: sounds like a job for mircea_popescu ?

asciilifeform: jesce polska nie zginela!

asciilifeform: poland.

asciilifeform: 'University of Technology and Agriculture in Bydgoszcz'

asciilifeform: 91.229.251.116 and 94.141.150.121

asciilifeform: incidentally this is the first, iirc, long factor sshkey collision to pop.

asciilifeform: ;;later tell trinque what happened here ? http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-22#1508550 <<>> http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-22#1508553 ? this is not the first time, either. i checked my rss feed, it does not shit out dupes. ☝︎☝︎

asciilifeform: what can you do to the rest of the box from it

asciilifeform: e.g., what privileges does the radio have, to put in software parlance

asciilifeform: (which in turn is interesting because ~is it on the same bus as other periphs~)

asciilifeform: for the purpose of ~how is it connected??~

asciilifeform: it is not difficult to infer how it is NOT connected, because you can pick up the device and measure top bandwidth quite easily with bare hands

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: thread was about how the radio is connected to cpu.

asciilifeform: lel

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-22#1508544 << mno. spi tops out at 1-2MB/s. ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-22#1508589 << this is false, ~all recent embedded boxes also have it. esp. ☝︎

asciilifeform: srsly focusing on the dust spec on the pr0n gurl

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-22#1508583 << the sov version had no such ☝︎

asciilifeform: what did i miss?

asciilifeform: trbbot?

asciilifeform: phf: log dead?

asciilifeform: whole lost WORLD of sanity.

asciilifeform: https://i.sli.mg/BzdQZa.jpg << motherfucking firmware ON PAPER TAPE, you can READ it

asciilifeform: recommended prOn, to all here.

asciilifeform: and where 'the computer' is what we see in this www.

asciilifeform: i wish to move to the planet where ~that~ : https://i.sli.mg/ikoT6o.jpg is how one is introduced to 'the computer' ☟︎

asciilifeform: https://i.sli.mg/M9tf78.jpg << mega-relay!

asciilifeform: phf: https://sli.mg/a/iDZnCf (via your link) quite a thing of beauty.

asciilifeform bbl - meat.

asciilifeform will take in the full joys of the blessing when he comes back from meat.

asciilifeform: which never comes out if i download.

asciilifeform: when using mircea_popescu's zip

asciilifeform: yes, i get same !

asciilifeform: (identical to the incoming zip, not to each other)

asciilifeform: (which is to say, a length ??? binturd with NO symptoms of it being packed jpeg or html from mircea_popescu's zip)

asciilifeform: if you unzip ANY of them, you get IDENTICAL file minus zip header.

asciilifeform: i am speaking of the raw download

asciilifeform: 128k.

asciilifeform: me too.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and your zip was 32k and mine 128k because ??

asciilifeform: and is it same if you do it again ?

asciilifeform: (you zipped an x? what was x)

asciilifeform: what was the input for this ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's this

asciilifeform: but, i suspect, is payload for some overflowed buffer in winzip or the like.

asciilifeform: and has NOTHING in common with the jpegs or html in mircea_popescu's 32k zip ☟︎

asciilifeform: that unpacks to... SAME bitwise ??? but sans zip header.

asciilifeform: the 3 128k shots - contain ??? ~with a valid zip header~

asciilifeform: and has the expected contents

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's 32k zip unpacks great ☟︎

asciilifeform: on what ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: demonstrate ?

asciilifeform: and anybody else tuned in, ditto.

asciilifeform: phf: post a few shots of yours plox

asciilifeform: dump'em out, see.

asciilifeform: (not in payload, or headers - where it belongs)

asciilifeform: the string 'jpg', for instance, occurs in none of my 3.

asciilifeform: but neither it, nor the contents, appear to have any relation whatsoever to any of my 3.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: zip unpacks great.

asciilifeform: isnnit.

asciilifeform: wholly different contents every time, OTHER than zip headers.

asciilifeform: of various version.

asciilifeform: effect confirmed on both curl and wget.

asciilifeform: 131259 bytes long each.

asciilifeform: d7f9bc94bb14f5cd596b08d63760f9d6c609ec8165a5cb699ed9d3a5d873bc4ea111373323408f9af1ad3402a08ede01929e7bfe808c583045a1e83c1f564ac1 and b8f9876e782c1f4681607404632ce5d11514ce5e3caeb0dead6f0110c39aa1c83feeb1f8ad009f26fd7ea70c9331933aa0f06fb497b1fe0148b45f76d3a97800 respectively.

asciilifeform: possibly, polymorphic bomb, will be interesting to reverse

asciilifeform: other than the header.

asciilifeform: i download it.

asciilifeform: i get a DIFFERENT 128k every time
