mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic i recall you were running miller-raqbin last year ?
mircea_popescu: if you think about it : for any random number, the odds of being divisible by 3 are 1 in 3. and by 7, 1 in 7. and the sum of this converges etc.
mircea_popescu: which seem mostly to be a case of "take p, q random numbers, skip on testing for primality."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah i meant the other ones. the "naively broken" ones,
mircea_popescu: lol that hanno boeck assclown got called out. curious what happens nao.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform one of the things the web has done is trained clickers.
mircea_popescu: every last valuable line of me going $up fromphuctor and all.
mircea_popescu: jurov possibly needs some padding. pgp keys are a festival of arbitrary and nonsensical fixed widths and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: actually there is no script. which in itself is glaringly scandalous.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo actually it's being built as we speak. jurov 's thing above is mere steps away from general purpose.
mircea_popescu: jurov i see "gpg: armor header: Version: PGPy v0.4.0 gpg: packet(6) too short"
mircea_popescu: almost all of these seem to be in some way connected to either winblows or crapple.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other news of vague interest, i burned ~13GB on trilema today alone, of which at least half to be attributed to phuctor discussions (mostly not in english). it's been a while since any event actually visibly dented trilema stats. too lazy to check on phuctor, but i imagine it's headed into terrabytes, what with its endless single pages and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: apparently there's some sort of apple shenanigans at work here. you reclal, apple, the dedicated-to-privacy company that recently wouldn't do something or the other to some phone or somesuch, i forget.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re guy on reddit : he seems to be having the exact same key ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: bwhhahahaha these are epic. Лаврентий Августович Плюшкин, Герхард фон Пырохсповыдлом
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell egorsmkv consider registering your pgp key with deedbot ; i'll rate you and you'll beable to self-voice
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ftr the .ru write-up is about 100x better than the anglo versions. wikipedia almost entirely to blame.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: plenty of freshly minted coincidences at coincidence bank.
mircea_popescu: * asciilifeform takes off hat. << note that they were brewing it since two months ago, finally went live days after phuctor ; finally went on social media rampage hours after phuctor.
mircea_popescu: egorsmkv in fairness most merit goes to bernstein, with his work we do in 20 minutes what used to take ~10 years on the first estimation.
mircea_popescu: aha thanks. was already reported. asciilifeform will get to it once he's back.
mircea_popescu: the specific sort of broken keys listed there (ie, with mirrored low 32bit modulus) is obviously an' very much designed just for this purpose.
mircea_popescu: particularly effective if you don't even know alice ; and no you wouldn't know you missed anything.
mircea_popescu: the most effectual approach is to put a broken key of yours up on sks, and wait for alice to mistake it for yours.
mircea_popescu: you have to realise however that if eve is trying to eavesdrop on alice's communications to you,
mircea_popescu: piratsimon you could ask that then, neh ? the pile of keys being worked on come from a dump of sks servers.
mircea_popescu: it would appear you don't actually understand how rsa works ?
mircea_popescu: alrighty. in the meanwhile, you understand how rsa works ?
mircea_popescu: is there some sort of reward associated or just sportstmanship challenge ?
mircea_popescu: anyway. domain reg'd feb 16th, first post april 26th. teh boyz poured their sweat blood an' tears as the expression goes. too bad it won't work.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: hopefully it protected the aussie something or the other just as well!
mircea_popescu: lulzy "that key is not available" failscript, also. MUCH SECURITY!
mircea_popescu: "He was Vice President of CSCSS (Centre for Strategic Cyberspace and Security Science) with a focus on collaborating government bodies in securing cyber systems. Wright has trained government and corporate departments in SCADA Security, Cyber Warfare and Cyber Defence."
mircea_popescu: "He was Vice President of CSCSS (Centre for Strategic Cyberspace and Security Science) with a focus on collaborating government bodies in securing cyber systems. Wright has trained government and corporate departments in SCADA Security, Cyber Warfare and Cyber Defence."
mircea_popescu: looks like it's done by the same "i fucking love science" ustard crew.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you'll have to add verbiage explaining to the goodfolk that rsa keys specifically and uniquely are at issue ; somehow it's not obvious dsa/ecc/elgamaletc dun work.
mircea_popescu: piratsimon no ; but given what we know about these keys it's a trivial exercise.
mircea_popescu: JusticeRage asciilifeform was bitching about it ignoring his settings earlier. he'll get on it once back.
mircea_popescu: JusticeRage i didn't understand your question. people call me mp at times.
mircea_popescu: can there be a numeric value for this "loooooooooong time ago." ?
mircea_popescu: maybe we actually manage to figure out who did what to whom here, it's suspicious as all hell.
mircea_popescu: piratsimon would you be so kind as to post the software you used to make that key ?
