mircea_popescu: to be clear here : if the keys are generated out of 16 bits of entropy ; and if there are 65537 keys ; then necessarily there will be at least one weak pair, and in practice more than half ; all of which will be cheaply hacked apart by
phuctor's method.
mircea_popescu: "
phuctor has accidentally uncovered an access gateway for the usg global intercept network"
mircea_popescu: moreover, subtle errors in technology are best made evident with radically different approaches. "have both deterministic and non deterministic tests, notwithstanding IT IS PROVEN the latter converges" is substantially the same thought process as produced
phuctor.

mircea_popescu: im guessing
phuctor is getting some new shit stuck on either side.
mircea_popescu: turns out EVERYTHING
phuctor found comes straight from usg.koch

phuctor has very little to do with curing particular lepers.
mircea_popescu: more like, a good chunk of what this stable of uselessness tries to argue its usefulness from, is their utter failure to do anything about things like
phuctor, misrepresented.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: yeah that is fair, too, though i maintain that anyone using any such implementation is an irrevocable shithead and
phuctor won't do them much good anyway - but maybe it will, i don't know; and
phuctor is a needed public service anyway (so i'm not arguing against that, ftr)
mircea_popescu: because my recollection is, me/alf/
phuctor made some very careful statements, pinoy restated them wronglyt and proceeded to win the war with the strawmen.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: apologies if i am mistaken here, but iirc
phuctor was reported to have cracked some pgp keys when at that point in time none of the keys cracked had valid self-sigs. the presentation from tmsr (trilema/
phuctor) to me appeared to have overstated the results, so to speak. (but then later subkeys with valid selfsigs were found, iirc). this isn't a technical point, i suppose.
mircea_popescu: (on the sub-subject of "defending the power of
phuctor's results" << it is entirely reactive. just as doctor defending the power of sanitation. in some contexts it's the only thing a doctor can say - and he can be rendered "ridiculous" by insisting on presenting him in that context, but really, the joke's on the unwashed.)
Framedragger: there is a danger of one presupposing the veracity of their own's truths, but this isn't exactly an original thought or anything; just, well, i *do* observe yourself and alf defending the power of
phuctor's results almost a priori as it were;
Framedragger: (not that this makes
phuctor any less worthy of a project)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd rather detach the "waht use is
phuctor" from current discussion.
phf: i suspect that
phuctor work has increased attention to gpg both on wrecker and on attacker side. no way that short-id collision would've been a thing without

phuctor seems to be producing "armored files" of keys, where's openpgpjs expectes it to be in "public key block" format
