mircea_popescu: pretty cool, but... how exactly did they "get" it. public is public.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, like all the other Ashley Madison stuff.
BingoBoingo: Starting with Bharara's office was a nice touch, but a lot of trying hard
mod6: ok node is all caught up
BingoBoingo: I'm jsut wondering though why they have javascript from fucking coinbase on their page
mircea_popescu: anyway, can't hurt to make contact. who knows, maybe only superficially stupid.
BingoBoingo: Eh, I'll keep digging in the news mines and look for stuff while I think about it.
mod6: ok asciilifeform will look
mod6: looks like i sustained a port 22 attack over the last 3 days.
mod6: that might have had an impact.

mod6: nice. ok, might have just been me.
mod6: 87825 attempts on ssh since Oct 1st.
mod6: that actually doesn't seem like that many.
mod6: beware: this is ~10Mb
mod6: oh guess i was wrong, wasn't 377906, was: height=377901
mod6: not that I saw, no.
mod6: nothing in logs, or in terminal stderr or whatnot.
mircea_popescu: if you're intimating someone's going to create a sha-1 collision and thereby obtain a key that hashes to the collision, you're exaggerating justalittle.
mircea_popescu: otherwise yes, gpg is, and remains, slated for replacement.
mircea_popescu: you can calculate your chances of succeeding right now.
mircea_popescu: (but we did do a campaighn of updating from sha-1 about last year, for digests etc)
mircea_popescu: the only scenario that does anything in, is when one acquires a key from dubious source.
mircea_popescu: the pupose of the business card is to filter contacts tho.
mircea_popescu: the "chore" of having and maintaining blogs is NOT negotiable. you must, you MUST be your own facebook washington post vice gawker etc.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: these also tend to be folks for whom this bullet won't likely be fired.\
mircea_popescu: it's expensive, and foer that matter - we've yet to see this wonder in the wild.
mod6: ok, updated mod6.net with my pubkey.
mircea_popescu: assbot and btcalpha get them from servers (older implementations) ; deedbot- gets them correctly (you gotta supply the dpaste with it)
mircea_popescu: folk who think they're too damned important to irc, blog etc.
mircea_popescu: yes, fucktard, let it be hearn's job. next you'll be fed by cockroaches. it's their job to move food around.
mircea_popescu: notrly. pretty much exactly : doesn't talk much. sorta eternally amazed.
mircea_popescu: it IS however conceivable that a pubkey might be created which carries the fingerprint 6160E1CAC8A3C52966FD76998A736F0E2FB7B452 but if used to encrypt to mp will respond with "this doesn't decrypt wtf did you do". which event will be very interesting to see .
mircea_popescu: except, i do not normally expect to be spoken to by people i do not know.
mircea_popescu: they are too old to be alive anymore, is the sad truth of the matter.

mircea_popescu: this is the only thing that owkrs, or ever has worked.
mircea_popescu: there is nothing else. in very particular, there is NOT this bullshit star pattern of "everyone reads vice".
mircea_popescu: the deep fundamental reason usg exists needs to go away. not merely the usg, or preet bharara's head.
mircea_popescu: the notion that people may read "newpspaers" made by people they don't know.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is rank nonsense, and the cornerstone of stupidworld.
mircea_popescu: but herein the problem gets fractured. how many things does it need to filter ?
mircea_popescu: (turns out mp deliberately isn't keeoping the pobkey and the signerd material in the same place. har har who knew! )
mircea_popescu: i said and i repeated there';s major value to jointing the wot early. to the point that it was throughout the greatest gift one could give his rest of his life.
mircea_popescu: \as you say, the time to join the wot isn't when sha-1 collisions cost a penny.
mircea_popescu: the people who went to oregon first, got homesteads. the people who go now - get to pay rent.
phf: oh hey i wrote a poc for pgp filter at toorcon, when that other wifi mitm came out. no need to figure out what's where, just sit on the
http stream, catch text/*, grep it for gpg headers, and then rewrite on the fly
phf: asciilifeform: of course
mircea_popescu: doing this is actually a strategic mistake i'd be more than happy to see executed.
mircea_popescu: exponential costs. modest benefits. very much in line with all the other bad choices that sunk the ship of state.
phf: mircea_popescu: back then it was kek, these days i could probably get a hackernews frontpage "fundamental vulnerability found in gnupg, no one is safe!" either way completely irrelevant. just reminded me, it was 2005 or so

phf: mircea_popescu: will do around saturday. i'm still in transit, so no working client
mircea_popescu: whenever i hear of someone saying they're in transit i always picture a person inside an intestine.
phf: well, i'm on amtrak, so might as well be
phf: inertia, there was a point when amtrak was also inexpensive in addition to being cheap
mircea_popescu: but i gotta say "why don't you fly" "inertia" is a damned good answer.
phf: mp gets them every time
phf: i'm waiting for this channel to catch up with me, i'm going to go through some routine dc check, like a metal scanner or security clearance, and it's going to be "step this way sir." some gruff looking gentleman holding b-a printouts..
mircea_popescu: they're fucking inverse functions. one does many-to-one, the other needs an arbitrary bytecount.
mircea_popescu: phf link them to the place where ytou said you're against sedition.
mod6: that might have been a different d00d
mod6: haha. i recall there was a guy before phf's time that was like, "i can't hang in here! too much sedition!" or something
mircea_popescu: but just as far as the general principle goes. how are you going to do "padding" w/o hashing ?
mircea_popescu: and more-moreover, your one-to-manyh permutation will be implemented as a hash fun ction.
mod6: ah cool, you got a chance to walk through there!
mod6: eh, maybe not the same place
mod6: lol during kindergarten years
mod6: arg! i gotta finish the documentation on this thing so i can play new eulora!
mircea_popescu: mod6 maybe you're thinking recoleta. i did that one a while back.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i discovered a new japanese restaurant (in china town) whereby i had an exceptional peruan soup.

phf: kids these days with their fancy mice. back in my day we had to clean mouse balls before each quake 1 match with wet wipes
mitch_callahan: i remember my step mom would take that ball out as punishment. sucked.
phf: i refused to use optical mouse for a long time, because my railgun technique involved upwards swipe, that would periodically glitch out with an optical mouse and would rotate completely randomly. good times.
mircea_popescu: then again, old ball mice... i had a straight lines and right angles genius. because molding plastic was hard in the 80s

hanbot: “Online virtual currencies are clearly here to stay – no pun intended”, according to Mitch Callahan, Clearly Canadian’s Bitcoin Campaign Manager. << is that you btw, mitch_callahan?
mitch_callahan: i think those guys finally reached their goal a year later. i should have some clearly canadian to give away in the near future. i cant remember what it cost me in btc, though.
mitch_callahan: its an old fruit flavoured beverage that was popular in the 80's and 90's
mitch_callahan: a guy in the US bought the trademark and brought it back
mircea_popescu: ironically the guy actually tried to get it on mpex, but this was back in the single digit times.\
mitch_callahan: he met a lot of people very quickly. iirc he had erik voorhees on the line, amongst others. bitpay was pushing it, too.
mitch_callahan: it jump started me in the space, mostly meeting people, seeing who's who. started a meetup, etc etc.
mircea_popescu: it would have been a horrible idea (as i pointed out at the time). a purely fiat business like selling fizz fits very poorly on bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: next thing you know it runs up 10k% (as it did) and you're left paying pennies to the dollar to your investors, IN SPITE of having done a great job.
mitch_callahan: it was those price movements that got them all paranoid, too and they stopped mentioning btc.
mitch_callahan: man im surprised through his research he ended up chatting with you
mitch_callahan: in the early days, if one looked up bitcoin, one would find mpex shortly thereafter
mitch_callahan: I discovered mpex about 2 minutes after i discovered bitcoin.
mitch_callahan: one day mircea_popescu, you crossed my mind. i visualized a bunch of shapes collapsing in on themselves. it was the universe eating itself.
mitch_callahan: i read the logs a few weeks later and it's what cazalla describes as the bitcoin hole I'm guessing

BingoBoingo: And I mean... They go quiet when they get legal papers, as in their GAW reporting where it seemed they actually had law enforcement reports
mircea_popescu: would at least fit some more bizarre patterns observed.
BingoBoingo: It's not a drunk theory. Came into it while walking tonight.
BingoBoingo: They've got some awfully fucking bizarre patterns
BingoBoingo: It's just very bizzare the particular way that they suck, yet still seem to get the information
mircea_popescu: and yet their bizarro PR is very consistent with "one derpy dude"
mircea_popescu: all sorts of readily self-contradictory grandstanding and whatnot.

punkman: from same thread: "If Collision attacks become viable for SHA-1 fingerprints, then they would probably also become viable for subkeys as well, and it might be possible for an attacker to generate a subkey with a collision for the cross-certifying signature, and be able to graft a false subkey onto a master key with a SHA-1 signature, which would definitely be a key compromise."
