“what can soothe this spiciness!” Lol...I love Reddsters...

Thanks for the Clue. Haha!

September 23 was huge.

Oh, wait.

Man in the middle attack on an improperly configured https secured web page. like oh a mail reader, through a bug in the WIFI WPA2 encryption security prrotocol.

There is a 172 bit attack on an AES-256 encryption key.

256 bit AES has a 2^119 attack. As Schneier pointed out https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/07/another_new_aes.html it is impractical, not a threat to AES.

This attack has nothing to do with whether Assange is or is not revealing a 256 bit (or any size) key. His tweet contains 16 bytes of ascii and 16 bytes of binary. The 16 bytes of binary could be a key, or not. He may have a key and may be revealing it, or not.

There are attacks with a complexity of 2^99 and “reasonable” modifications to it that can get the complexity down to 2^39 under “ideal” conditions.

I think the 172 bit length, if each alph/numeric digit is interpreted as a hex number ( at 4 bits each ) is also interesting when one read the articles I linked to.

It could be merely coincidence that < half of the numbers when viewed 2 at a time correspond to ASCII characters.

The remainder do not correspond to ASCII as evidenced by the letters af present in the provided string. I was just throwing it out there.

Is it big?

Still waiting...

Would love for some bad news for Hillary to come out today. Come on make my Monday better.

Extricate the quradruped from the vehicle and constabulate him to something nutritious. And, when the aurora rises in the heavens, I will return and compensate thee amply?

My point is that nobody is attacking (brute force guessing) a key in this case. If people want to do that, they are more than welcome, all they have to do is download Assange's ciphertext and go for it.

By Assange releasing something that might or might not be a key, that means the key is not goihg to be guessed, instead it will be revealed by decoding that data.

I suppose the tweeted data could be an encrypted key, but then the actual key derivation is no less difficult than before the tweet.

Is it big yet?
