Ok so i am watching Through The Wormhole - S05E04 - How To Collapse A Superpower
And they go on about cryptographic security and they mentioned.. some older algo's
One guy uses online for his Firewall program, who i have continually reversed and keygened on him an algo..
Mr coder uses a "Caeser Cipher" with a Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) using the SHA1 hash function.
hashing the c: partition id on windows with a caeser cipher then he uses a 2nd caeser to hash that with a bit of custom stuff easy to spot..
then he uses base64 to binary encode it to store the registration key in the registry.
I made keygen's with with c, c++ and c# with and with out GUI's (and i cracked / patched it too just to piss him off)
a "caeser cipher" is waste of time ..you might as well not even lock your door LOL
so.. the show talks about that then goes on about..
some crap about then NSA hacking Algo's.. then..
A cryptographic researcher at Cal Tech named Roy seeks the perfect code Morgan Freeman says on TV..
and this guy thinks he has found it ?
shining light.
scattering particles with a physical filter pattern is this guys holy grail.
problem is the guy is on TV touting this as some revolution but it relies on a little index card like the size of a credit card with a pattern in it.
Which can be easily replicated with a 3d printer across the globe in minutes..
What this guy thinks he found is the first truly RANDOM algo.. there for far more secure than anything ever !
and i say bullshit he's an idiot LOL
The guys concept would be easier to crack than a WEP or WPA router ahhahaha
He is claiming a card with a pattern of holes in it for the light to shine through will be random.
but a static pre-made thing in your hand showing holes is not random and can be mass produced !
So he fails and he's an idiot.
Snowden says the NSA has made progress in beating algo's that use so called random numbers but NONE can make true random numbers..
there for they can be hacked !
With no such thing as RANDOM.. there is NO security period .
and there for all your coins here are flawed !
with out being able too generate true random numbers we will not have any perfect security in crypto.
and i have actually been waiting for hackers to exploit Bitcoin.. one of these day i wonder if it's going to get blown wide open..
if it all relies on a wall to keep bad guys on then you have to have a perfect wall but no perfect wall exists or will EVER exist.
All we can do is stay ahead of hackers.. they can not be beat.
An old cracker once said if it runs it can be cracked
