Title: If you were smart with computers like this guy, would you A or B?
Post by: Gleb Gamow on May 18, 2015, 07:16:28 AM
A: Crack SHA256

or

B: Hook a laptop up to an oxygen mask on a commercial airlines while in flight when nobody's looking to make the plane fly sideways, hopefully not win the Darwin Award while conducting said feat if anything should go wrong, i.e., the real pilots being unable to recover in time.

I guess that would be easier and more profitable than hooking up a laptop to an oxygen mask to take over the controls of a commercial airliner while in flight with the guy sitting next to you not having a fuckin' clue as to what you're doing, eh?

The is only smart in hacking but not in the real world.

What, exactly, do they mean by "fly sideways"?
I met the guy a couple years ago and talked with him for a few minutes.  He seemed willing to push the envelope, but this sounds like way more than I would've expected.  The accusation sounds a bit unrealistic.

The bad thing.... No make that the good thing... or..maybe..whatever..  Simply put: A is much harder to do than B.

Ofcourse i would choose A. I wouldn't get rich hacking an airplane to fly sideways. Sha 256 maybe hard to crack but who knows? people are inteligent, i wouldnt be surprised if sha256 is cracked someday

The bad thing.... No make that the good thing... or..maybe..whatever..  Simply put: A is mush harder to do than B.

I met the pilot of the plane that this happened to and he told me that he was barely able to recover the plane so he texted his wife his bitcoin wallet addresses passwords during the process, expecting the worse.

Passenger 1: Dude, what are you doing attaching your laptop to that oxygen mask?
Passenger 2: 21.com. It's goin' be a long flight, so I thought I might as well mine while I'm up here.
Stewardess: ... And finally in case of an emergency, all laptops are to be disconnected from the oxygen masks until the all clear so that you can resume mining bitcoins. Thank you for flyin' Satoshi Virgin Air.

A is more difficult to do but if I could do it, I would still have chance to enjoy the money I earned.

So I pick A.  :D

A is the simple answer, But B is legend.

A. The pilots might not recover, rather not be mounted by a air marshal.

Wut.  :D
As a side note: cracking SHA2 is most likely quite more complicated than hacking an aircraft control system. I had a friend in the aerospace industry years ago; it is surprising how clunky some things can get!

Doing A while flying sideways.

First i would do the first thing, and than with the money i would find a way hot to make the second one possible. It will such a great time, i hope with no bad consequences. Or if there are any consequences and they figure out that it was me i will bail out with the money i already have :)

Let me guess: You'll link the plane's flotation devices to devise a parachute, then exit Cooper-style.
