trinque: also at least one of
them appears
to be paid for her work
Framedragger: not enough butt-sniffing, so maybe
that's a no.
Framedragger: given
that
this is in san francisco, am i looking at a
typical californian startup hackaton here?
phf: hehe,
that rsa one is beautiful
Framedragger: hm. i still run one (low bandwidth), would be interesting
to check
things i suppose..
mircea_popescu: "what's he
to do" only counts for lords of
the republic - not of usg peons.
mircea_popescu: your ability
to use computers may come
to depend on obeying
the above.
mircea_popescu: which i suppose warrants a general warning : DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR GCC
TO 5.0! SAVE YOUR COPIES OF 4.X AND PRIOR!
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: they're forcing
the latest in static linking deliberate breakage (+ no doubt other goodies) into
the "ecosystem"

that many of
the
titles bear a striking resemblance
to each other. "Adaptive Mesh Analysis" reads one and "An Adaptive Algorithm for Mesh Analysis" reads another. Dividing
the
total remaining by
the average number of repetitions halves
the list again. Mozart disappears before your very eyes.'
mircea_popescu: if your criteria becomes "i won't do
that because
too hard ; and i won't do
this because
too easy"
then yes you've just about described present day academia.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-21#1587182 << speaking of
this, here's a question for
the eager : a diophantine equation is a multivariate polynomial, something like ax+by^2 = 0.
the question is : given an arbitrary finite set of known-good equations, can you use recursion
to decide whether an arbitrary equation in
the same variables is good (has integer solution) or no good ?
mircea_popescu: stuff currently in
the eulora hackathon could have been done ~two years ago.
mircea_popescu: this is judicious -
there's 0 inclination on our part
to feed
them so
they do what
they want
to do.
mircea_popescu: the alternative explanation being
that people are seriously disabled in
the sense of coming up with motivation on
their own.
BingoBoingo: Lettuce not forget "Equation Group" allegedly uses RC6
to communicate with
their
turds
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah i'm sure i don't exist because schneier didn't invite me
to
the latest round of rubber chicken.
mircea_popescu: the solutions for all
these "stop" are given and
trivial, now
time
to apply.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
to create
the up-node : "stop doing stupid shit" is
the universal pill
to de-usg
the world. stop doing stupid shit with crypto, as contemplarted here,
there's no nsa nor any possibility of nsa. stop "plea bargain"ing,
there's no us justice system. stop using us banks,
there's no us finance. stop chasing
the web-revolutionary-app-nonsense,
there's no "us
technical lead". stop
trying
to marry women
there's no "5th wave
mircea_popescu: because nobody made it, because everyone spent all
their
time fucking with xcode and unity.
mircea_popescu: which is why
the republican strategy in sociopolitical cryptography is
to isolate
the nsa assets -
the kochs and dreppers and schneiers + a bevy of small fry boecks etc. let
them sit on hacker news and upvote each other
to death, but otherwise, outside of
the usg reservation,
they may not opine and
they may not be used as reference.
mircea_popescu: also about 2/3 of
the nsa strength in practice, because outside of getting idiots
to do idiotic
things -
they ain't got nuttin.
a111: Logged on 2015-07-12 03:47 mircea_popescu: in any case : i don't like aes for purely political reasons. it became an apparent schelling point out of absolutely nowhere for no discernible reason.
these situations always stink.
phf: in other security "Child uses sleeping mom's
thumbprint
to buy $250 worth of Pokémon
toys (cnet.com)"
davout: "some
terrorists found it controversial"
davout: doit être abaissé à au moins 9
tours pour fournir un niveau identique d'exploitation."
davout: "Une controverse existe, selon laquelle Serpent n'aurait pas été choisi comme AES, car casser ses clés aurait été beaucoup
trop complexe pour les services de renseignement civils et militaires. De plus, même dans une version simplifiée il reste robuste. Par exemple Rijndael est
très souvent implémenté dans
TLS en version simplifiée sur 14 de ses 16
tours pour des raisons de rapidité, mais aussi d'analyses de données. Alors que Serpent
Framedragger: also, as you noted earlier,
there's a good chance a bunch of ssh *client* keys were generated on
those machines,
too, so also possible
to
try
to bruteforce-login with generated keys (to servers which have broken rngs)

to stdout, so you end up parsing dangerous user input
