mircea_popescu: decimation makes door lock
the weak point again is all.
decimation: all
these kinds of security gizmos are quite useless if
there's not ability
to summon a human
to inspect what is going on
decimation: possibly, but it would
take quite a bit of doing
decimation: if it's a 'random burglar' it might be enough
to convince him
to go elsewhere
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not policarbonate replacement for glass in window. it's a very highly adhesive foil, which you stick on
the window
decimation: yes,
they make laminate for window reinforcement
decimation: asciilifeform: I'm
toying with
the idea of buying slightly better deadbolts
Chillum: I
try
to, but am not very good
Chillum: with 128 bits
to a bitcoin key you do have some keyspace
to play with
Chillum: If I could hook up a little device
to
the usb or serial
that gave me numbers I would be more confident in
then I would do
that
Chillum: it is possible
to infect a hard drive with malware. Not
the data,
the firmware
Chillum: I doubt
there is a modern computer out
there
that does not have some black box software or firmware
Chillum: though most entropy from PRNGs come from hard drive
timings, which run black box firmware
mircea_popescu: Chillum we don't
trust it because very suspicious corp / closed
turd.
Chillum: the hwrng on
the pi is better
than
the prng most computers use
mircea_popescu: first
time ppl
that wander in here and a) aren't going
to spaceghost
the bitcoin ; b) aren't retarded.
Chillum: no swap, use
that runs vanitygen has read only access
to drive and does everything in ram
Chillum: so I reimaged
the sd with a base raspbian and wrote some python code
to get addresses from vanitygen and print
them
Chillum: It was a kit meant
to print
twitter feeds
Adlai: not
that it helps anyone
Chillum: and a
thermal receipt printer
Chillum: tty
thermal printer has no memory
Chillum: The problem with
the mycelium key is
the same printers
that accept USB sticks also have internal memory
danielpbarron: these days
there isn't
that much
to verify
that a shipment hasn't been
tampered with; a shipping container is "sealed" with a metal peg coated in plastic and stamped with some numbers
assbot: Proof
That Mycelium Knows How
To Make A Better RNG For Its Entropy Dongle. And Isn't. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (

Adlai: danielpbarron: ie,
the entire container is a seal?
danielpbarron: Adlai, not if
the seal and container are made of
the same clay
Chillum: he shows how
to remove and return
the seals used on shipping containers
Chillum: short story,
they are not very good
danielpbarron: I don't like humor in professional communication. Not in code comments, not in
technical manuals, not in user interfaces. << from
the reddit
thing on
the mushroom
thing
decimation: note
the couriers watching
the pouch cargo personally
Adlai: danielpbarron: you don't have
to
touch
the seal if
the packaging itself is easier
to replicate
danielpbarron: Rejoining
the breached container lid, knot, or latch and replacing
the broken seal with a new, identical seal would have been, short of stealing
the original unique seal carving, impossible
to hide from
the inspector.
Adlai: "Miss Bianca, after all, is a poet
too, and in any case she is due
to
travel any day now by diplomatic pouch
to Norway."
Adlai: maybe
the launch codes. but
the nuke itself doesn't fit in an envelope
Adlai: or is gpg
too complex for lizards?
Chillum: old school method
that still works
today. If you can defeat it
then you should sell
the method
to our fav government
Chillum: wax absored into
the paper
Chillum: permeable paper,
the wax absorbs into
the paper which is a solid seamless envelope
Chillum: under
the assumption
that you could not produce identical scratches
Chillum: in nuclear regulatory systems
they seal with a metal button and
then scratch it up with a pin and photograph
the scratches
Chillum: very hard
to reproduce
the identical swirls
Adlai almost starts
to feel respect for
truecrypt devs, who at least admitted, behind
their veil of anonimity,
that
they have nfc what
they're doing
