◥☼▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲☼◤ - Headinawheel, on 05/27/2009, -0/+15256-Bit AES is breakable in less time than the universe has existed, with our current level of computational abilities? And even though RC5 was broken, it was only at a 64-bit level. 72-bit RC5 is, also, unbreakable at our current technological level in any near future.
But it's ok, it's just like in 24 - all encryptions are easily overcome if you just say "Hold on, this will take a minute" while rolling your face on a keyboard. - rnawky, on 05/27/2009, -4/+17Nothing is impossible, I got laid last night.
Oh yeah maybe not but still.... - AndrewMoyer, on 05/27/2009, -0/+12The tank treads also look a lot like the Subway guide to applying cheese when making sandwiches.
(also on the front page today) - SOS84, on 05/27/2009, -5/+16Don't these fool realize that 95% of the people in the US military are pants on head retarded?
And before any of the retards here start digging me down, I have thirteen years of service under my belt. I know from experience. We don't refer to things infantry proof or write things at a fourth grade level for nothing. - bipolarruledout, on 05/27/2009, -0/+10Well...if it's infantry your talking about....
- mrno, on 05/27/2009, -1/+10BULL *****...
So these devices can break 128bit SSL tokens and WPA2 keys? Did someone really crack AES yet? I know there are rumors floating on the net, but I say it is impossible. - esdjco, on 05/27/2009, -3/+11Hack the gibson.
- tgc1, on 05/27/2009, -0/+7Dugg for the phrase "Pants on head retarded."
- offrdbandit, on 05/27/2009, -0/+6"all encryptions are easily overcome if you just say "Hold on, this will take a minute" while rolling your face on a keyboard."
As long as you are using a ridiculously inefficient and seizure-inducing GUI, anything is possible. - SOS84, on 05/27/2009, -1/+6No, it pretty much covers every MOS. Look at artillery. There a reason privates run the excess powder increments 50 meters behind the firing platoon before a fire mission. To get the retard away from the gun. There is a reason whey every single valve is labeled on every fuel tanker the military uses. It is not really a stretch to say that a full one third of the military are mentally handicapped.
- ElectroOverlord, on 05/27/2009, -4/+9Shall we play a game?
- SOS84, on 05/27/2009, -0/+4Thanks, too bad I can't take credit for it. I once had a platoon sergeant who was the least politically correct person on Earth. He used to conjugate (for lack of a better word) the term retarded into varying forms.
- inactive, on 05/27/2009, -0/+4Hey, everyone, are you listening? DEFINITELY HAS ZERO ***** A'S. ZERO. THERE ARE NO A'S IN DEFINITELY.
/cc - ElectroOverlord, on 05/27/2009, -0/+4How about Global Thermonuclear War.
- s0krat3z, on 05/27/2009, -0/+4Later. Right now lets play Global Thermonuclear War.
- LostSoul83, on 05/27/2009, -0/+3I saw a story on Slashdot the other day that claimed the Military was "upgrading" to Windows Vista. I picture someone sitting behind a computer clicking the "launch" button only to get a UAC dialogue that says "Launch missile? Cancel/allow".
- jeexbit, on 05/27/2009, -0/+3at least since War Games came out...
- MrCrissypoo, on 05/27/2009, -5/+8***** off.
- JohnFrum, on 05/27/2009, -1/+4I REALLY hope they aren't just starting to look into this. They should have been on this ***** years ago.
- ElectroOverlord, on 05/27/2009, -0/+3Fine.
and for my last quote..
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?
BTW I am glad someone finally got the reference. I think I am posting to too young of a crowd. Was surprised that I have been dug down so many times for it. Had to include the additional content to give a clue. - RAEP, on 05/27/2009, -0/+3Next they'll want to weaponize water...o wait.
- ElectroOverlord, on 05/27/2009, -0/+3Wouldn't you prefer a nice game of chess?
- steelaz, on 05/27/2009, -0/+2It's possible if your GUI is created using Visual Basic
- bipolarruledout, on 05/27/2009, -2/+4Leet speak now part of basic training.
- lewystud, on 05/27/2009, -0/+2fires ones and zeros
- Headinawheel, on 05/27/2009, -0/+2AES is a published, open source, simple algorithm. You can actually look it up - one of the main "detractions" was that it was TOO simple of an algorithm. You tell me how you can hide a backdoor or simple means inside of the AES algorithm that nobody has seen yet, or even in RC5.
Sure, they can be brute-forced. But the thing is whether or not it's a reasonable(read: non-academic) timeline. - Feldon, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1US make hacking a weapon lol they can even keep UK hackers out of US government's computers. lol
- trp642, on 05/27/2009, -1/+2pew pew pew
- inactive, on 05/29/2009, -0/+1Man, I've been doing this for more than 15 years and a Coputer Science degree doesn't help you for *****! (smile) Real World experience digging through mashed databases and backwards engineering simulated attacks; that's how you learn this *****.
on a side note: My background was Biology before I got into dev and to tell the truth, I think that was far better prep for the digital era we are in. - mrno, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1@wildturkey
we are idiots? are you a network engineer or security professor? do you understand math? did you knew AES is a proven widely adopted open source? So how do you put a hidden mathematically variables in a written numerical formula? With an erasable pen? Do you wear a tin foils in your head? - inactive, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1most of the major firewall appliance manufacturers would have an update within hours.
- Chaotyk, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1Wow, not like China is way ahead of us or anything. Not like we're literally decades behind this sort of thing in terms of the "brass" realizing the uses of, and tactics involved in, cyberwarfare. Not like the US Air Force thinktank on the topic suggested that we develop methods for “enabling Air Force servers to evade or dodge electronic attacks, somehow," as if the internet is some sort of three-dimensional space wherein you can simply move out of the way of an oncoming virus or hack attempt.
And China, of course, has been producing all of our electronics, but there is no way they have been installing hardware-based "backdoors" in all of our essential systems.
We are all so *****. - Nintendesert, on 05/27/2009, -1/+2Every DoD computer should already be apart of a large botnet for launching DoS attacks if the time ever came for it.
- mrno, on 05/27/2009, -1/+2Do you know many GRIDs of CPUs need to make this work? Even they buy Sun's hardware business from Oracle and constantly pump out hardware for this, I still say no freaking way.
- mrno, on 05/27/2009, -1/+2lol... good one.
yea, when i first read it. i thought it was from cracked.com - inactive, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1took me forever to get that. good one.
- Elementix, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1Pip-Boy 2000?
- funk49, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1Metasploit, Immunity's Canvas...they all do this drag and drop exploiting. Maybe the firewalls can provide some protection but most of the deep packet inspection I've found on potential attacks is not usually detected...plus the FW companies don't have all the crazy 0day protection that some of the IDS's do. Add in the SSL encryption and protecting the application layer is pain in the ass.
- AlyxVance, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1probably
- inactive, on 05/27/2009, -1/+2Been playing C&C Generals at the DoD I see
- kolobcreek, on 05/27/2009, -1/+2I think its already been weaponized.
- PeppermintPig, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1"there is NO algorithm that can factor in polynomial time."
To suggest otherwise is absurd, but that's not the point. The end user's interest is how quickly it can be done, and qubit decryption is proven to be a faster option, however exclusive its practice is currently.
But it's just fiction, right? Tell that to the researchers. - mrno, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1@pp
maybe, it isn't a fiction, but it is STILL a theory.
It is just a theory with no proven results.
We both know theoretical mathematic results don't always provide answers. - mrno, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1jesus... people take this all out of proportion...
USA has the best Internet criminals. Who do you think controls the all those Windows bots in China? Being #1 software pirated nation will back fire them one day. - inactive, on 05/28/2009, -0/+1You should know how to install SSL and protect the application layer. If you don't you aren't a ***** web developer, you are a poser/web designer.
- MSTK, on 05/28/2009, -0/+1RTFA; almost all of the software is already publicly developed and available. Anyone who downloads BackTrack can do almost anything mentioned here, albeit with a bit less fancy of a UI.
- F4RR4R, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1The difficulty the military will have with weaponizing hacking is that they can't purchase a tool that will "hack" for them. Hacking is a skill set that is not very compatible with our military structure. Some of the officer training programs have attempted to bridge this gap, but they are extremely resource intensive and turn out extremely few graduates. If the U.S. military wants to enter into this space and succeed, they need to change the way that think out "cyber." Personally, I think that without radically changes they will not be successful (the U.S. Cyber Command is going to be a failure), and that short term plans should include leveraging their highly skilled contractor work force for these type of positions. Our enlisted & officer military forces simply do not have this type of training or capability.
- mrno, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1There is no backdoor for AES. It is open source and there have been many contest announcements in the past to break AES before it got widely adopted by many commercial companies.
- lewystud, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1solution...there are no winners in Global Thermonuclear War
