yep, thanks anyhow. The last major news about this was the bitinstant marketing gag 3 days ago... of course, since nothing's moving and all parties either want to keep things under the rug as much as possible or have already said all there is to say.

So, I suppose all was not revealed in Austin, TX this morning? Anyone with evidence to suggest otherwise?

Bounty still stands for brute forcing the .rar

Bounty still stands for brute forcing the .rar

Doing a little research this morning, there is a rar version which has a vulnerability in its encryption/password protection.

I think if the file were part of a troll, they would have used a dictionary password or they would have used the compromised version to make it easier on people who wanted to extract it and their troll more effective. It would be version 2.7. I don't know if it's all versions below 2.7 or just 2.7.

I don't have the tools do do this kind of thing myself. And I couldn't find anything for the mac which does it. I have a couple of dedicated linux miners but I don't trust any of the rar brute force source code or binaries that I found enough to put them on my miners or my macbook without worry of installing a trojan.

There are a bunch of high end windows applications but they cost money. More than the bounty.

This showed up a day prior to the latest binary.

http://pastebin.com/pfcqiKWX

Seems to be logically consistent with what has happened, although it's impossible to know if it's legitimate.

Has anyone tried downloading the files?

Edit: Ok, I just read more of the thread.  There are so many holes in this story.  For instance, the binary message that was created by sending transactions...anyone can do that, right?  It could be a hoax in a hoax in a hoax...

Anyone can create a binary message by sending coins to that address and make anything up.

Yep, I did but as they say it is encrypted and requires a password to see whats inside that .7z file.

Now would anybody with better computational power then me mind cracking that password pls?

"44.12. Did everyone find the binary message encoded into those transactions?
45.Yes, very cute. Sorry, we can't do that to ourselves."

The binary messages wre going IN TO the addresses and not SENT from the guys holding the tax returns hostage.

If you're not excited by the idea of being an early adopter 'now', then you should come back in three or four years and either tell us "Told you it'd never work!" or join what should, by then, be a much more stable and easier-to-use system.

I think if the 2nd pastebin is the same person as the 1st pastebin, then it's fake.  

However, he did get bitcoin on CNN, for that I applaud him.

Even if it's a fake, they have succeeded at keeping the tax returns in the news.

I'm sure he is waiting for some proof.

Interesting the files inside the archive have a modification date of 1/7/2012 8:18am. Why would they have been created so long ago?

There is still not much evidence that the Dr.evil has got the files.

There is still not much evidence. Therefore Dr Evil is presumed guilty until proven innocent. Grin

*sarcasms on*
Exactly; I would say lock him up, no phone call and no lawyers till he has proven otherwise ...

That RAR file has the CRC32s of the PDFs when they are not encrypted. We could generate all the CRC32 collisions of valid PDFs with the exact number of bytes, hahaha. Probably not computationally feasible though Cheesy We might as well try breaking AES Wink
