Hi Thomas, Thank for following this up. I think you are right. RH SWS was EOL before the Dual_EC default switch was made. If the only public banners for this product are from before this time, I will conceed that…
> You have probably never used a crypto tool that used either Dual_EC or extended-random, for what it's worth. Dual_EC was default PRNG in BSAFE-SSL-C for almost a decade. Shodan matched 1700 banners from this time,…
Hiya, This seems somewhat related to some work I did last year on using blockchain to 'register' and provide distributed revocation of certs. I called it UTXOC or Unspent Transaction Output based Certificates…
Use slower / heavier hash -- PBKDF2 or better. For lulz use something like Darkcoin Cryptocurrency 'X11' Proof of Work function - multiple rounds of 11 different hashes. Or more. (X13, X15 and X17 all exist as PoW…
Sweet! Thanks for the tip. looks like EFF just got another donation for $6.54 USD, and thank you Zach for donating your software for charity!
This is a really well written article; full of great, reusable tricks and techniques in reverse engineering. Clear screenshots, humorous yet technical content, neat results. Hats off to you, sir, keep up the good work…
I respect and admire agl, his and very important work on EC; but i must respectively disagree with his analysis of bitcoin and other blockchain based technologies. This paper was written in 2011, and a lot has changed…
Worked for me in Firefox 31. Awesome, played for a while but the citizens didn't like me; no save option! Would gladly play again with persistence. Very impressive example of the richness in todays web. Well done loth!
This is a new 100% premined cryptocurrency from the makers of ripple. Stripe has invested in this technology; so it already has some fiat backing behind the haul. Whomever this is, and they are likely associated with…
Steve Gibson has also made the TrueCryptⓇ Final Release Repository at https://www.grc.com/misc/truecrypt/truecrypt.htm I had to use this mirror recently as there are already bad copies floating about; it is a trusted…
The leaked data set contains: * screenshot of the back office application * OSX and Windows back office application binaries * btc_xfer_total_summary.txt * CV-Mark_Karpeles_20100325.pdf * home_addresses.txt *…
kill it. kill it with fire. this product collects the kind of personal data that should not be handed to third parties. too ripe for abuse. too much insight into your existence. a scary Orwellian nightmare.
supposedly FEDORAcoin or "TIPS" is the most traded or gifted currency within reddit. This would not show on any external chain monitors like the story source as most of the trading is occurring within reddit; only when…
Its scrypt based proof of work function, its a litecoin alt-coin derivative. It offers little over other scrypt based alt-coins. A UK company has announced they will be selling scrypt ASIC miner appliances in 2014. If…
they plug their magic box into your firewire port and dump your memory and image your disks. They don't care about what OS you are running. they grab it all.
Did the snapchatdb.info guys change the donation address? Its now reporting as 1M7rREovDkdEh4mZrYNgcj1FECRknFLuRz They have already got $1USD for this. https://blockchain.info/address/1M7rREovDkdEh4mZrYNgcj1FECRk...…
Sure, but that just lets you set the next block. You can't use it to generate false transactions because no other client would find those transactions valid. At best you can drop all transactions that are broadcast to…
The bitcoin algorithm adjusts the difficulty so 2016 blocks are generated in 2 weeks, so a nonce is found every 10 minutes or so.
In practice you would need far more than 50% of the mining power to take complete control of the blockchain. The greater the hashrate of your miners, the greater probability that your miners will find a valid nonce that…
Super cool. This makes me want to go and buy a drone + VR. Actual youtube link just in case you don't want to visit news corp www's. http://youtu.be/ojIz5Mai2Rw
So the feature that I have used on 3 iPhones for the last few years will no longer work in 45 days time? My current iPhone will be the last device I am able to get push mail and contact syncing on? When my phone finally…
Very interesting idea -- The idea that one can bypass image filters (say at a network DPI level) would be useful, until this technique is discovered and detectable. What about some client-side js that read png/jpeg and…
