asciilifeform: wallowing with the eagles, i see
adlai: the eagles saved sam and frodo (in that order -- who even even gave a shit about the ringbearer?)
adlai really owes some meatwot guy the spamatron, could use an excuse to build it ☟︎
adlai: (ftr - guy paid me to write it, i didn't, sent back coin, he sent back 1/3 coin for the "research" i did thus far, and wants it completed someday)
asciilifeform: adlai: fyi kanzure is in my meat l1. he self-confessedly serves evil.
adlai knows that he works for 'ledger x'
adlai: s/ks/ked/
adlai should maybe write regexbot before spamatron! definitely a lower branch.
asciilifeform: i have nfi re the other whizzards.
adlai: well, the bsmprimeprimeprimeprimeprime guy has been publishing reasonably intelligent material for a while
adlai: he's trying to fix the latency issue. i'm not sure it can be fixed, but he's trying. ☟︎
asciilifeform: sooo why ain't he here.
asciilifeform: if 'intelligent'
adlai: because i'm a better troll than publicistL
adlai: s/L/L/
adlai: s/L/?/ did i just prove my point
asciilifeform: *meat l2
adlai: aha!
adlai: there's a worldova difference between L1 and L2
adlai: for this reason, btw, i'm quite pissed that ben_vulpes deeds his shit at deedbot's L1

asciilifeform: always.
adlai: i meat, wtf. has ben_vulpes even met, ie, ... pete_dushenski ?
asciilifeform: afaik nobody here has, yet
asciilifeform: other than himself
adlai: well i like his blog, it's spiffy!
asciilifeform: also ~what~ latency issue
asciilifeform: .
asciilifeform: ?
adlai suddenly corrects himself -- pete_dushenski was not part of the highlight. whether he was a member of the can-encrypt set, is a matter too deep to reversee in /me's current state ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes.
asciilifeform: aaaah which yes ?
mircea_popescu: as well as making a text-only client to obviate the obnoxious gfx thing
mircea_popescu: but ... takes time
mircea_popescu: "bootable dvd"
adlai: well... i'm not certain that bsmblahblah can produce an algorithm which will be softforked by existing btcminers, and never revoked (ie, miners fired) by existing holders; but he's trying to give a more-quantifiable "confirmation" value
adlai: currently, the confirmation value has a resolution of ~minuties
adlai: minutes
asciilifeform: adlai: waiwat
adlai: hours, if you care about a binary value
adlai doesn't sell coin irl for less
asciilifeform: none of this makes sense, adlai
trinque: he's fucking drunk and rambling.
asciilifeform: conf is denominated in blocks
asciilifeform: neh?
adlai: correct.
asciilifeform: so what minutes adlai ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: text client a la '80s mud ?
mircea_popescu: just about
asciilifeform: that would rock.
mircea_popescu: adlai i think you deeply misunderstand deedbot.
mircea_popescu: why am i reading this shit anyway. /me skips it.
adlai: AIUI (and that's capitalized for a reason -- he may disagree with me, as might any other educated reader of his papers and drafts) , there could be a system wherein clients publish blocks at some frequency, wherein some of the blocks are not valid "bitcoin-according-to-satoshi" blocks, but you still get a sense of how likely is the apparance of the next "bitcoin-as-in-satoshi" block
asciilifeform: WHY
adlai: ask him!
asciilifeform: should this be a thing
asciilifeform: HE isn't here
adlai: /pm bsm117532 or whatever his nick is today :(
adlai is quite pissed that the man/child actually changed nicks to "prove a point"
asciilifeform: so i ask adlai . who saw it fit to convey this nonsense to us here
adlai: do i need to pretend to go to sleep again?
asciilifeform: pray tell adlai , why should this be a thing to consider
adlai: do i need to pretend to go to sleep again?
asciilifeform: nono, i'd like to know
asciilifeform: adlai: you could answer 'entomological', but i read the link, and it would seem like you see something in there as a worthwhile idea. and i would like to know what..
adlai: because http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-04#1552277 -- and incidentally, i'm curious as fuck what exactly the WoT relationship between asciilifeform and kanzure is, since it sounds like maybe you know (irl!) somebody who knows him, or somesuch ☝︎

asciilifeform: adlai: correct
adlai: what is correct? too many antecedents
asciilifeform: adlai: i went to uni with a meat friend of his.
adlai: define 'friend'
adlai: has 'friend'
adlai: has 'friend' signed his pgp fingerprint? the full shit, not the eight ascii chars
trinque finds this whole thing deeply irritating
mircea_popescu: yeah. adlai go to bed.
adlai: better yet, the entire key
adlai sighs
asciilifeform: adlai: i have nfi why you might care, but the fella vanished long ago. and was never enwotted.
adlai: which fella?
asciilifeform: dude who introduced me to kanzure originally.
adlai: so you met kanzure irl?
adlai has seen him on youtube, this is roughly the same?
adlai: meeting some shmuck irl means ~nothing
asciilifeform: nope. and wouldn't care to.
adlai: ok, so he's not in your "L2", he's in your "L-finite"
adlai: as opposed to L-planet
asciilifeform: i did say 'meat'.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=from%3Akanzure
asciilifeform: he is currently employed, or last i knew, providing 'mathematical' flavouring to 'power rangers' of various stripes.
adlai: sorry for reappearing so soon after "bbl", but - what does 'esr rich' mean? i struggled not-too-longago with a friend telling me "oh yes, that's shit that 'people with money' have in their house" (over random crap my idiot dad had), so... pray, what is "esr rich"?
asciilifeform: #!s esr
mircea_popescu: the reference is to eric raymond
adlai: "struggled" = wanted to yell at him, "you idiot, what do you mean by that, i'm just as poor as you" - but realizing that i'm less poor than him, but... still poor.

mircea_popescu: but in the end, it all comes down to arguably the most important etc.
adlai corks it, for now at least, and goes back to musing on spamatron
adlai: fwiw - and bottle is still corked! - mircea's link doesn't cover folks who can live off of fiat wot, however short a time that lasts... ie, /me mostly lives off charity from $whatever-wot, but doesn't have to sell his btc. does this make him evil?

asciilifeform: kmalkki: now more interestingly, hdt is simply a protocol on top of jtag, imho the main scientific interest in the smartprobe fw would be to extract the protocol.

asciilifeform: kmalkki: how did you determine the fact about the sha256 at boot ?
kmalkki: documentation only
asciilifeform: ... consider sharing ?
mircea_popescu: kmalkki> 0x40 N bytes public exponent (N = 0x100 for RSA-2048) << o seriously, e is 256 bits long ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i just verified, indeed, they left a 2048-bit long chunk of bits for the 65537 to live in !
asciilifeform: in all of the keys.
mircea_popescu: nuts.
kmalkki: 256 bytes or 2048 bits
mircea_popescu: o right, because it's rsa 2048, so e should be 2048 bits. makes sense >.<
asciilifeform: hey, futureproof!11111
mircea_popescu: right.
kmalkki: note that RtmPubSigned.key[0x14..0x23] == AmdPubKey.bin[0x04..0x13]

mircea_popescu: in entirely unrelated nonlulz, "Todos los derechos individuales reconocidos y consagrados por la Constitución Nacional están sujetos a las limitaciones o modificaciones que los derechos de la sociedad imponen, es decir, a un poder de reglamentación con fines de conveniencia social y seguridad común, como que el bienestar y prosperidad general es precisamente uno de los primordiales objetivos de todo estatuto constituciona
mircea_popescu: l, y particularmente del nuestro, según reza con toda claridad su propio preámbulo."
mircea_popescu: what is a socialist state ? why, any state that purports to hold individual rights hostage to imaginary "rights of society".
asciilifeform: ok, so,
asciilifeform: blob = open(sys.argv[1], 'rb').read()
asciilifeform: (exp_size, mod_size) = struct.unpack_from("<II", blob, 0x38)
asciilifeform: exp_size /= 8
asciilifeform: mod_size /= 8
asciilifeform: exp = blob[0x40 : 0x40 + exp_size]
asciilifeform: mod = blob[0x40 + exp_size : 0x40 + exp_size + mod_size]
asciilifeform: in python, gives (little-endian) extracts of exp and mod.
asciilifeform: kmalkki: this would suggest that the modulus is stored big-endian ?!
deedbot: http://deedbot.org/bundle-432852.txt
asciilifeform: otherwise, in the case of the 1st one seen here, http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/wv3x3/?raw=true , it would be even?!
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-04#1552874 << evidently not, they are not functions of the exponent or modulus (they stay constant across variations in both of the latter) ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-10-04 18:44 mircea_popescu: cosmic ray protection ?
mircea_popescu: hm.
kmalkki: where exactly do you see the even number
mircea_popescu: kmalkki he means, if it's read as little-endian, it ends with a 0 bit
asciilifeform: cc df 66 cf littleendianized
asciilifeform: 0xcc == 0b11001100 .
asciilifeform: observe that the exponents are 01 00 01 00 00 .......
asciilifeform: i.e. little-endian.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform then again the next one... 5c 7f 11 22
mircea_popescu: both 22 and 5c are even
asciilifeform: nono
asciilifeform: that next one has a selfsig
asciilifeform: as kmalkki pointed out earlier.
mircea_popescu: ah right you are it does
mircea_popescu: nm
asciilifeform: the master key, interestingly, has no self-sig.
asciilifeform: nor any checksums, it would appear.
kmalkki: but bootrom supposedly contains SHA-256 hash of master key
asciilifeform: and - unless i am hallucinating - has an even N
asciilifeform: kmalkki: this would not be a surprising way to do it - sha is easy to hardwareize, rsa - not so easy
asciilifeform: but i bet that it'd happily eat a collided turd
asciilifeform: though if it really has an even N...
mircea_popescu: there doesn't seem to be much restriction of form whatsoever ; not even of size, re that collided turd.
asciilifeform: aha.
mircea_popescu: did sha256 have an extension attack or am i confusing it
mircea_popescu: iirc it's like md5 based on merkle construction yes ?
asciilifeform: yes, but does not help in this case
asciilifeform: thing hashes a fixed-length turd, it would seem.
asciilifeform: (and if it did not, i still don't see how glomming bits onto the payload would change the outcome of the verification)
asciilifeform: kmalkki: do you know whether anyone has read out the mask rom ?
asciilifeform: where the actual verification routine lives
kmalkki: not that I know of
kmalkki: whether it is mask rom or fused hash at production is also unknown
mircea_popescu: time to bust out ye olde microscope huh. you got a chip alf ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: plenty, but no electron microscope.
asciilifeform: nor dirigible.
mircea_popescu: eh, hitachi s5000s start at what, 70k ?
mircea_popescu: anyway /me had the idea you got one in your garage, nfi why exactly.
asciilifeform: i am not a wealthy man, mircea_popescu .
asciilifeform: incidentally, the moduli in the self-signed blobs end in : d6 e1 1c ec ; 46 0a d0 9a ; be fe 39 b6 ; 2c c3 f2 a2 ; 46 0a d0 9a ; 13 7d e7 c3 .
asciilifeform: yes, the parsed-out mods.
asciilifeform: they parse.
asciilifeform: does anyone see where this is goign
asciilifeform: *going

deedbot: kmalkki voiced for 30 minutes.
ben_vulpes claps and bounces in his seat
mircea_popescu: kmalkki seriously, register your key so you don't keep being silenced.
asciilifeform: all but the last is littleendian-even.
asciilifeform: kmalkki: also interestingly, the turdlets are supposedly arm-compatible, and - to naked eye, seeing strings - plainly unciphered, but they do not appear to disassemble cleanly as either big- or little-endian arm.
mircea_popescu: trustlets! not turdlets! lmao!
asciilifeform: (conceivably the cheapest way to read out the boot rom would be to get arbitrary code execution in the stock turdlet)
kmalkki: maybe I got this all wrong, but could [0x140] contain the LSB of the entire modulus
asciilifeform: hm
asciilifeform: that would make sense
kmalkki: docs have no mention of endianness
asciilifeform: no but if it follows same pattern as the exponent
asciilifeform: ok these then all become sane-looking rsa moduli.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu et al ^ .
mircea_popescu: right.
mircea_popescu: phuctor hopper takes republican e,N,comment format for rsa yes ?
asciilifeform: only via Framedragger's script
