00:45:25 jurov: ben_vulpes: it's source package that portage downloads automatically(with some exceptions) to /usr/portage/distfiles
00:45:41 jurov: was that the question?
00:47:22 ben_vulpes: ah
00:47:35 ben_vulpes: no, but it's a very useful answer

01:54:14 ben_vulpes: in bitcoin-related nooz...
01:54:34 mircea_popescu: hey, that looks like a bunch of dudes slapping the shit out of some chick
01:56:31 ben_vulpes: how can one ever tell with these internet gifs
01:56:35 ben_vulpes: could be dogs in costumes
01:56:42 mircea_popescu: http://v8chan.com/thread/3744246/what-is-this-ad.html << "As much I don't want to bring in /pol/ into every discussion, /leftypol/ is a hundred times worse. You're fucking cancer." / "its fags like you who make these threads the worst" / "No, it's fags like you who get triggered if anything remotely /pol/-like is mentioned, and I don't even like /pol/. Get the fuck out." / "You?re mentally disabled if you don?t thi
01:57:42 mircea_popescu: nk that is a good thing."

02:23:22 mircea_popescu: web experts derp about how MP doesn't know shit. then mp makes something that owns anything they've ever seen in penetration. then they don't knowtice, because one can't be stupid and perceptive at the same time.

02:39:27 decimation: ben_vulpes: I have one of those usb knobs
02:39:44 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: what does the knob do ?
02:40:03 decimation: I use it to tune my virtual radio
02:40:10 ben_vulpes: twiddles kitchen lead time for operators of trinque's webmachine
02:40:11 asciilifeform: aha it's a joystick
02:40:13 *: ben_vulpes off to wedding
02:40:27 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: before you go - did it work ?
02:41:28 asciilifeform: and wai wat
02:41:28 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes plugged it into a serial port ?!?!!
02:41:43 asciilifeform: (after i explained, in agonizing detail, why this will not work...)
02:42:45 asciilifeform: and who holds soldering iron like this, l0l!
02:42:46 decimation: asciilifeform: looks like one of those ebay usb/3.3v serial dongles
02:43:03 decimation: someone who doesn't have a proper vice
02:43:10 asciilifeform: vice?!
02:43:15 asciilifeform: for soldering iron! lol
02:43:16 decimation: or holder deal
02:43:23 decimation: no, for the object being soldered
02:43:42 asciilifeform: decimation: that dongle is just the thing for, e.g., pogo - but the rng is not a rs232 device...
02:43:54 asciilifeform: it doesn't spit out start or stop bits
02:43:59 decimation: heh
02:44:17 asciilifeform: http://www.best-microcontroller-projects.com/image-files/how-rs232-works-tx-logic-rs232-diag.png << example
02:45:17 asciilifeform: (if it did, it would be perfectly usable as rs232)
02:45:17 asciilifeform: but it doesn't.
02:45:17 decimation: did you intend to use an spi device
02:45:17 asciilifeform: nope
02:45:17 asciilifeform: it's raw rng
02:45:20 decimation: ah I see
02:45:29 asciilifeform: i.e. a pin that changes level when it wants.
02:46:18 decimation: so really you need a '1-bit adc'
02:46:19 asciilifeform: now, if you have a -very- well-behaved os, you could sample it as rs232 anyway. but then you discover (see old mircea_popescu article where we stepped on this caltrop!) that you end up losing bytes that match 'control' section of ascii table
02:47:07 decimation: asciilifeform: or you could use a parallel port, if your computer has one
02:47:15 asciilifeform: decimation: this was what i told ben_vulpes at c3
02:47:19 asciilifeform: to use parallel port
02:47:30 asciilifeform: or, if cannot find machine having such - sound card
02:47:31 indiancandy1: huh
02:47:35 decimation: one can still buy 'em even for pci express
02:47:42 asciilifeform: decimation: i have one such installed right here
02:47:43 asciilifeform: in regular use.
02:47:58 decimation: I would worry about potential noise in the sound card
02:48:07 indiancandy1: wat r y talkin bout
02:48:12 asciilifeform: decimation: the noise doesn't matter, rng outputs logic-level signal
02:48:14 decimation: but if the levels are high enough and you use some kind of clipping algorithm it wouldn't be an issue
02:48:17 williamdunne: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbmWGrQjgTA anyone seen this dose of autism?
02:49:17 decimation: indiancandy1: sampling random signals
02:49:25 indiancandy1: wat
02:49:36 indiancandy1: abt hot guys here lol
02:49:48 indiancandy1: any*********
02:49:54 asciilifeform: indiancandy1: sorry only cold
02:50:28 williamdunne: indiancandy1: I'm a 7" tall Somalian
02:50:37 williamdunne: Or is that 7'?
02:50:40 williamdunne: I can never remember
02:50:42 asciilifeform: indiancandy1: and the item we were talking about, was this: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/mf3_compare.jpg
02:51:42 indiancandy1: i just bought some baloons of a somalian
02:51:42 asciilifeform: specifically the one on the left.
02:51:42 decimation: asciilifeform: I wonder how cricital sampling clock variation would be
02:51:42 asciilifeform: decimation: the problem with using sound card would be that it has ac-coupled input.
02:51:42 indiancandy1: there is a somalian guu
02:51:42 williamdunne: indiancandy1: they break yet?
02:51:42 indiancandy1: guy seelling baloons
02:51:42 indiancandy1: with that gass in
02:51:42 indiancandy1: on the street
02:51:49 indiancandy1: the gass they give to pregnant
02:51:50 decimation: asciilifeform: yeah good point. you could use it with an analog mixer and an audio signal generator
02:52:03 williamdunne: asciilifeform: Excuse my ignorance, but what is the box over the chips for?
02:52:13 williamdunne: indiancandy1: *inflate.
02:52:16 asciilifeform: williamdunne: rf shield (in the photo, it is missing the cover)
02:52:31 cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-05-2015#1134218 <<< matches indiancandy1's 7" nose
02:52:31 assbot: Logged on 17-05-2015 02:50:28; williamdunne: indiancandy1: I'm a 7" tall Somalian
02:52:38 asciilifeform: williamdunne: see third photo from ben_vulpes's link for what cover looked like
02:53:22 williamdunne: Ahh I see, looks good. Didn't realize how complete it looks
02:53:31 decimation: asciilifeform: your old soundblaster card came with a joystick input
02:53:33 williamdunne: indiancandy1: who are you?
02:53:50 decimation: as I recall they were dc-coupled potentiometers
02:53:50 asciilifeform: williamdunne: she is/was one of mircea_popescu's camgurlz, iirc
02:53:52 asciilifeform: !up indiancandy1
02:54:27 williamdunne: indiancandy1: asciilifeform: ahh I see, indian have you met Naphex?
02:54:27 indiancandy1: who am i
02:54:30 williamdunne: yes
02:54:47 asciilifeform: decimation: at any rate, the -correct- way to sample these for experimental purposes is with either parallel port or a generic i/o gadget (e.g., 'ftdi')
02:54:48 indiancandy1: im like the only pretty girl who comes in here
02:55:42 williamdunne: Thats subjective
02:55:53 indiancandy1: im pretty young and fly
02:55:58 indiancandy1: and sexy
02:56:15 asciilifeform: indiancandy1: paid mircea_popescu a visit yet ?
02:56:23 decimation: asciilifeform: I suppose slight variation in the sampling clock (known to the enemy) would have very little effect on the output
02:56:41 asciilifeform: decimation: the correct way to sample is at (within feasible limits) random intervals.
02:56:53 asciilifeform: what one might call 'spread spectrum' clocking.
02:56:56 indiancandy1: no
02:56:56 williamdunne: indiancandy1: http://i.imgur.com/JlzKjcw.jpg can't see your face though

02:58:10 decimation: asciilifeform: I rarely deal with irregularly sampled signals, the idea creeps me out a little bit
02:58:57 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 64389 @ 0.00028049 = 18.0605 BTC [+] {3}
02:59:26 asciilifeform: decimation: rng literally breaks most of the rules of 'civilian' electronic design
02:59:35 williamdunne: indiancandy1: Yeah okay I'll agree with you.
02:59:38 asciilifeform: where you try to minimize noise, get predictable mechanism, etc
02:59:58 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 28400 @ 0.00028386 = 8.0616 BTC [+]
03:01:16 decimation: asciilifeform: yeah it's a fair point. my mental viewpoint for sampled signals is always a frequency domain visualization. my 'test' would be a really long fft
03:05:47 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how's she to afford the airfarez.
03:05:57 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: same as me l0l
03:06:00 asciilifeform: using money.
03:08:03 mircea_popescu: she's enslaved by the cispatriarchy with the belief that she shouldn't have to.
03:08:49 asciilifeform: waiwut
03:11:00 williamdunne: Surely if she were to be blaming the cispatriarchy that would suggest she is transgender
03:11:05 decimation: what about transpatriarchy
03:11:05 mircea_popescu: well how should i explain it ? lol
03:11:25 williamdunne: decimation: that implies they are delusional
03:11:36 mircea_popescu: williamdunne if one blames the nazis does that mean they're jooz ?
03:11:49 williamdunne: mircea_popescu: no, but thats not binary
03:11:54 williamdunne: You're either cis or you're not
03:12:14 williamdunne: Its more like if you blame women, you're (probably) a man
03:12:48 mircea_popescu: is it ?!
03:12:55 mircea_popescu: most she-haters i know are womenz.
03:13:07 williamdunne: Hmm you're right, none of these examples are all that great
03:13:27 mircea_popescu: to bring the point home : you can only be NOT cis. because the people who use the term aren't, and to the entire would outside of that small, retarded minority the term is meaningless.
03:13:56 mircea_popescu: much like rape, racism, privilege, democracy, equality, social justice etc etc.
03:14:11 williamdunne: Indeed, so she is either a transvestite or a squirrelkin
03:14:15 asciilifeform: not meaningless >> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Cis-trans.svg/1280px-Cis-trans.svg.png
03:15:15 mircea_popescu: the list of terms scared up by the delusional have this fundamental property that they only exclude.

03:38:45 williamdunne: Maybe I have soft spot for Indian women
03:40:11 cazalla: this one is only half indian though
03:40:53 williamdunne: And half greek, so you know she won't get anything done
03:41:44 cazalla: those desi girls are pretty hot mind you
03:43:08 williamdunne: I think its the combination of the skin, and some western-ish features
03:47:40 cazalla: what are western features?
03:49:14 cazalla: http://i.imgur.com/tXGZonM.jpg
03:51:09 williamdunne: Less Asian than other Asians

03:56:49 decimation: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/17/us/projectile-problem-goes-beyond-amtrak-train-and-philadelphia.html?_r=0 < lol apparently the new explanation for the amtrak crash in philadelphia is that the 'local citizens' were throwing bricks at the trains
03:57:49 decimation: "Getting ?rocked,? as locomotive engineers call it, is so common on the Northeast Corridor that trains long had metal grills over their windshields to act as armor. These days, thick glass is specifically designed to withstand the impact of a cinder block. Amtrak officials say trains are pelted in the neighborhoods around the crash site monthly."
03:57:49 hanbot: DUP bricks!
03:58:06 decimation: note that the new york times hasn't seen fit to cover this until now, because reasons
04:00:59 hanbot: reasons being, nobody had figured out how to hike their pet concern to the event.
04:02:47 decimation: well, one would think that the trains that carry the flower of the ny & dc elites might carry some level of interest
04:02:56 asciilifeform: l0lwut
04:02:59 asciilifeform: elite, on trains?
04:03:02 decimation: sure
04:03:03 asciilifeform: what is this, 1890 ?
04:03:07 hanbot: ^
04:03:21 decimation: how do you think they travel? tsa screening?
04:03:32 asciilifeform: 'learjet' etc
04:03:35 asciilifeform: no tsa.
04:03:37 hanbot: elites travel?
04:04:15 decimation: nah. if going from dc to ny (or reverse) aircraft would be less convenient
04:04:29 asciilifeform: only for plebes condemned to arse searches and queues
04:04:45 decimation: not really. you gonna land a plane in grand central station
04:05:10 hanbot: who goes dc-ny?
04:05:12 decimation: gotta go to teterboro or some other outlying airport
04:05:19 decimation: lawyers, politicians, media
04:05:28 hanbot: i thought it was all maryland
04:05:41 decimation: usg is all over the place
04:06:00 decimation: but the important bits are within walking distance of a metro station
04:06:04 hanbot: ny goes to albany, mostly.
04:07:09 decimation: joe biden was famous for commuting daily from delaware on amtrak
04:07:22 decimation: while he was a senator
04:07:43 asciilifeform: to imagine that this is why the bricks fly, is lunacy
04:08:06 decimation: sorry I wasn't implying that was the case
04:08:20 decimation: the fact that bricks fly at such trains ought to be newsworthy
04:09:05 decimation: my point being that it only turns out to be newsworthy once a major accident happens and people get injured/killed

06:59:41 BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: Nah, avoiding MMA, becoming a boxing tomato can for my 40th birthday in 11 years
07:00:07 BingoBoingo: Oh, not too much is up. My youngest brother got their BS in Mechanical engineering today.
07:00:36 gabriel_laddel: neat

07:03:31 gabriel_laddel: Eh, whatever floats your boat I suppose.
07:03:48 gabriel_laddel: I like walking and that is about it as far as exercise goes.
07:05:03 BingoBoingo: I like walking too, but walking lets me smoke while I do it, also seems less like exercise and more liek an activity of daily living the doctors count against you if you can't do it.
07:06:40 gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: are you trying to impress to fuck a doctor or something?
07:06:43 gabriel_laddel: who cares?
07:09:40 BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: I live in a rogue state atm (Illinois) and I'd rather not have to get a prostate exam to buy legit hunting rifle of Mosin or Simnov design. So earlier this week I was watching past oscar movies and hit Million Dollar Baby. Then it hit me. Why not weaponize me?
07:10:15 gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: someone willing to slit throats isn't scary

07:15:01 gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: Explain C2 symmetry to me.
07:17:08 BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: It is a rotational thing. Anything cool will lack symmetry greater than C1.
07:18:07 BingoBoingo: Blame our earth biases towards amino acids one way and carbohydrates another, not opposite way
07:19:26 BingoBoingo: citalopram vs. escitalopram and levo-methamphatamine vs. dex-methamphetamine is a good starting point on chirality

07:40:53 cazalla: still don't get the 11 years of training
07:41:00 mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel i think that's how half the chan people are too. that's why it's such a trap for them
07:41:20 BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Honestly having been roundly rejected by the fiat economy anything I approach is as a hobby, except for the qntra. The Qntra is deadly serious.
07:41:23 mircea_popescu: but anyway, guy has it : we definitely need more people in china.

07:43:56 BingoBoingo: cazalla: Think about how many pitchers peak in ability in their late 30's early 40's (or not) versus combat sports peeps over at 30 because they are too beat.

07:51:31 BingoBoingo: Nah that's a tie for beating rhonda quotes
07:51:40 mircea_popescu: cazalla oh that's a point huh.
07:52:40 cazalla: it's a great story though, not the first fraudsters article i read but the first that stuck in my mind
07:55:05 cazalla: BingoBoingo, anyway we should both train and then we can put on some exhibition fights in BA in a year or 2, find some local picaninnies to go up against
07:55:24 BingoBoingo: cazalla: That sounds agreeable
07:55:37 mircea_popescu: ;;seen mike_c

07:59:30 BingoBoingo: If anyone didn't guess already the Qntra Bird Flu article came out of buying 2 dozen eggs and the next week buying the same two dozen eggs for a budget busting (who plans for 67% markups) price.
08:00:05 cazalla: BingoBoingo, buying em? what's the matter with you, can't catch a chicken?
08:00:31 cazalla: chicken chasing is how we use to train in the old days btw
08:02:31 BingoBoingo: cazalla: Turkeys here you can catch wild. Fuck, drove past a roadkill armadillo today which should only happen on the other side of the mississippi river. Chickens though... It takes three eggs to make a decent omlette. Even if you are getting an egg from each hen per day that's still a lot of birdshit.
08:03:07 cazalla: armadillo edible?
08:03:36 BingoBoingo: cazalla: Carries Leprosy
08:04:17 BingoBoingo: So, maybe? I'm not that brave.
08:05:02 cazalla: i thought road kill was like american pie
08:06:16 BingoBoingo: cazalla: You still got to be picky. People fight over rights to bumper deer. Less so for plague carriers like armadillo.

14:37:18 asciilifeform: ;;later tell kakobrekla https://bitbet.us/bet/1144/phuctor-will-find-a-bad-key can be resolved? get the necessary data from mircea_popescu
14:38:18 gribble: The operation succeeded.
14:38:37 asciilifeform: (for anyone perplexed - we promised not to announce dud keys publicly, at least not if key's owner answers the warning - see http://nosuchlabs.com/theory )
14:40:01 *: kakobrekla doesn't resolve bets, but mods that do read bb comments so is fine.
14:40:48 asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i woke you up because the info necessary to resolve this bet is not public (as of yet.) hence tricky.
14:41:17 asciilifeform: in fact, i'm rather unclear on what will happen if key's owner wakes up and asks 'pretty please don't rape me on camera'
14:41:28 davout: RAEP RAEP RAEP
14:41:36 asciilifeform: (he isn't anyone we know. but we did promise to spare)
14:42:17 mats: i loled. 1.08btc on 0.02btc
14:42:44 asciilifeform: somebody's gonna chortle on cock
14:42:53 mats: too bad its the house
14:42:57 davout: lol
14:43:12 *: asciilifeform recused himself from the bet
14:43:31 kakobrekla: well, lets see what the wot is worth.
14:44:30 kakobrekla: anyway, the affected parties are basically (listed by alphabetical order): mp
14:46:20 asciilifeform: phun phuct: i never actually tested the code which displays phuctored moduli. (couldn't be bothered to craft a dud key, it's a pain) - but it worked. because was written correctly. perhaps a novel concept to some folks
14:49:45 *: kakobrekla never heard of that
14:50:02 asciilifeform: and the poor bugger appears to be in the strong set, no less.
14:55:07 davout: asciilifeform: aren't there, by definition, at least two 'buggers'?
14:56:54 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 38700 @ 0.00028269 = 10.9401 BTC [+] {2}
15:06:44 adlai: iiuc, finding the second bugger would require bruteforce checks against all the keys contributing to the modulus that phucked the first bugger
15:07:09 adlai: (not that much work, definitely less than the work which has already been done to find the first one)
15:08:05 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 65450 @ 0.00028294 = 18.5184 BTC [+]
15:08:30 adlai: (phuctor now knows the factorization of a single key, and it knows which of the two prime factors is shared with the second bugger)
15:08:55 davout: if you know that there's another broken one in the set, might as well re-check the set to find it
15:26:42 asciilifeform: davout: there sure are
15:26:55 asciilifeform: davout: in not too long, i will learn who the 2nd one is.
15:27:03 asciilifeform: so here's my other observation:
15:27:20 asciilifeform: we haven't really discussed it, but there are interesting implications in breaking a fella's pgp key.
15:27:55 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu likes to speak of having 'killed' that greek derp, but in a very real sense the schmuck whose key we just broke, is dead
15:28:23 asciilifeform: which is to say, i could sign, with his key, 'please rape me in public with a donkey' and it will be as legit as anything he will ever say himself
15:28:26 asciilifeform: in the eyes of the gods
15:30:07 asciilifeform: to rephrase, he no longer (if ever did) have sole control of his private key
15:30:36 asciilifeform: and we must not neglect the third party - the fine folks who boobytrapped mr schmuck's copy of pgp.
15:32:41 asciilifeform: if keys are identities are people - which, for purposes of wot and dealings among folks who will never meet in the flesh, they most certainly are - that one: has died.
15:33:42 asciilifeform: phuctor does not send automatic emails. to anyone. so, let's see what happens when mircea_popescu writes to mr schmuck
15:34:03 asciilifeform: but my point above was, what are we to do with the answer? it could be coming from just about anyone!
15:44:41 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 38491 @ 0.00027652 = 10.6435 BTC [-] {2}

16:05:33 asciilifeform: jurov: there is a second, but it will take a while to unearth it.

16:13:27 asciilifeform: kudos to mircea_popescu for supplying the cpu cycles for this apparatus pro bono
16:13:59 mircea_popescu: i am in complete disbelief that this actually happened.
16:14:06 mxtm: what exactly has happened?
16:14:09 mxtm: gpg key has been breached?
16:14:10 mxtm: or
16:14:45 asciilifeform: mxtm: some 2 schmucks (of which i've identified 1, but the other will follow in a week or so) had common factor in their rsa private keys.
16:15:22 mircea_popescu: this is truly fucking major.
16:15:43 mxtm: and you derived the priv keys from this?
16:16:47 mircea_popescu: yes. once keys are factored we have the privkey.
16:16:58 mxtm: jeez
16:17:01 mircea_popescu: yes.
16:17:02 mxtm: that is quite major
16:22:29 mircea_popescu: that is quite major. but it's not the half of it.

16:53:31 jurov: i have verified my gpg 2 imports it
16:53:31 asciilifeform: jurov: most peculiar. it is a valid rsa key.
16:53:31 mircea_popescu: yeah now he has to do various shit.
16:53:53 asciilifeform: no this is a good find, i will add it to the queue of three or four other mysterymeats
16:54:11 asciilifeform: the only peculiar thing i can see in this key is the use of odd orcish hieroglyphs in the id string
16:54:24 asciilifeform: but that shouldn't throw off my apparatus.
16:55:48 mircea_popescu: lmao utf strikes again
16:55:57 mircea_popescu: python strings alf. python strings.
16:57:15 *: asciilifeform promises to investigate this oddity, and see if there are others like it, as soon as finishes current plate
17:00:23 mod6: <+mircea_popescu> yes. once keys are factored we have the privkey. << holy shit o.0
17:00:44 mircea_popescu: ikr?
17:02:30 asciilifeform: for the record, since folks were asking, much simpler than i thought,
17:02:37 asciilifeform: we have schmuck-P; if one were to divide Π(∀n) by (schmuck-P ^ 2), result is J*K where J is $schmuck-Q and K is $otherschmuck-Q. thereby K*schmuck-P == otherschmuckmodulus.
17:02:49 asciilifeform: no need to walk it.
17:04:19 mod6: lol, great work.
17:05:47 mod6: im stunned. very impressive.
17:06:59 asciilifeform: that was fast.
17:06:59 mike_c: mircea_popescu: good afternoon

17:07:29 mircea_popescu: say, can i has 728x90 bitbet banners ? and in some manner WITH the link, so i can put them on 8chan ?
17:07:36 mircea_popescu: you get to use your own btc addy for referrals.
17:08:19 mike_c: yeah, i can whip that up
17:08:36 mircea_popescu: excellent.
17:09:03 mod6: wow! 231?!
17:09:15 *: mod6 falls out of his chair
17:09:18 mxtm: looooooooooooooool
17:09:20 mxtm: yeah
17:09:24 mxtm: that's great
17:09:39 Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, mircea_popescu, congratulations
17:09:44 mod6: ^^
17:09:50 Apocalyptic: this is quite stunning
17:10:03 mircea_popescu: word.
17:10:06 mircea_popescu: i am quite stunned myself.
17:10:34 mircea_popescu: anyway, i do encourage everyone to try this themselves.
17:11:14 mxtm: now what do we do with our GPG keys and GPG in general :(
17:11:18 Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, isn't Π(∀n) the product of all the modulus treated by phuctor ? how do you get $schmuck-Q * $otherschmuck-Q by dividing it by (schmuck-P ^ 2) ?
17:12:01 mircea_popescu: mxtm we check implementations to make sure they're conformant to spec.
17:12:06 mircea_popescu: the spec is in no way broken by this.
17:12:58 mircea_popescu: oh also - if anyone has a hacker news account or w/e - put it in.
17:13:16 asciilifeform: Apocalyptic: you are correct, the formula is missing a step. but i will leave it as exercise.
17:13:45 Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, that calculation makes sense if Π(∀n) is in fact the product of only the two modulus we're interested in
17:18:02 mats: asciilifeform: seen this? https://factorable.net/weakkeys12.extended.pdf
17:19:02 asciilifeform: mats: the ssl folks ?
17:19:02 asciilifeform: i shat on them when we started out, because they published neither code nor results !
17:19:02 asciilifeform: and i shit on them now.
17:19:02 mircea_popescu: ^
17:19:02 mircea_popescu: never happened (tm)
17:19:02 asciilifeform: aha.
17:19:37 asciilifeform: the paper is worth reading, it contains a bit of exposition on -how- a schmuck might end up with dupped privates
17:19:37 Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, also I noticed that "Moduli waiting to test" number is updated quite regularly, why the running product displays the same number of digits for a while now, I guess it doesn't update as often ?
17:19:47 asciilifeform: Apocalyptic: it gets updated when a batch is done
17:19:53 asciilifeform: Apocalyptic: so you'll be waiting a few days
17:19:54 Apocalyptic: s/why/while
17:19:59 asciilifeform: ^ good question
17:20:02 asciilifeform: answrs.
17:20:07 mircea_popescu: optimized bubble-like process, was discussed in the logs iirc
17:20:14 mircea_popescu: faster to pair them up.
17:20:26 asciilifeform: we don't crap out the product often, it dances on the disk and slows things down
17:20:31 asciilifeform: it lives in ram normally.
17:20:34 Apocalyptic: understandable

17:34:47 mircea_popescu: just owner(s) announced.
17:35:13 mircea_popescu: davout two pairs of gpg keys are known, in the sense that their pubkey modulus has been factored.
17:35:53 kakobrekla: same p on second one?
17:36:10 mircea_popescu: nope. 21 this time. why bother with a full length 77 when one could just use 7.

17:36:29 Apocalyptic: <mircea_popescu> just owner(s) announced. // once you have the owners name you can get their keys, and at that point it's trivial to compute the common prime factor

17:56:00 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform very curious, because i always suspected you know "older versions"
17:56:07 mircea_popescu: well... shit man, older versions don't really do 4kb keys

17:56:33 davout: asciilifeform: what's the version string on the key?
17:56:54 asciilifeform: which one
17:57:35 jurov: phuctor discards comments, i guess
17:57:48 asciilifeform: jurov: actually sks does

17:58:23 mircea_popescu: yeah, sks cuts comments.
17:58:51 mircea_popescu: this, tbh, is a good move, because : someone came up with the fucktarded idea of adding "visual" identity to keys. as if i can tell one whore from another on the basis of a 5kb icon.
17:58:55 asciilifeform: i was never strongly interested in the version strings. anyone can write what he wants.
17:58:58 asciilifeform: it isn't even signed

18:35:03 d34th: asciilifeform: http://dpaste.com/218K4BV.txt

18:45:56 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wonder if this is reproducible, make sks servers display random data as people's subkeys.
18:46:13 mircea_popescu: definitely not what's expected from / implied by the listings, but who knows.
18:46:38 asciilifeform: seems like a bit of a tall order to believe that anvin was struck by a lucky cosmic ray

18:46:59 asciilifeform: too many hungry heirs
18:47:06 mircea_popescu: even from a purely operational standpoint - it'd seem sks servers have all the interest in the world to reject such broken keys rather than publish them, carry them in db etc
18:47:19 asciilifeform: afaik they don't check

19:10:49 davout: mircea_popescu: it'd be really interesting to know, it's a gpg --recv-keys | grep skipped away
19:10:52 mats: asciilifeform: it hurts ma ego everytiem i get a 'old fucking news'
19:10:57 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it'll be especially puzzling because you won't immediately know why it fails, given as you debiased the bits
19:11:02 asciilifeform: (you did, didntcha?)
19:11:09 ben_vulpes: workin on that part
19:11:13 asciilifeform: so the missing value in the output won't be, e.g, 13
19:11:19 asciilifeform: it'll be a pattern.
19:11:41 mircea_popescu: davout yes but honestly i'd rather let it work some more first.
19:12:05 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ben_vulpes a fine example of the perils of "whitening".
19:12:13 asciilifeform: just as i said then
19:12:24 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: got a link to your article quoting that day's convo ?
19:12:29 asciilifeform: i've misplaced it
19:12:36 asciilifeform: the one with rs232 link
19:12:37 mircea_popescu: you can't fool mother nature. nevertheless, it is more than happy to sell you the tools by which to fool yourself.
19:12:54 mircea_popescu: lemme look
19:13:07 asciilifeform: filed somewhere under s.nsa iirc
19:13:12 mircea_popescu: oh ya 1 sec
19:14:37 mircea_popescu: !up xaxs
19:14:37 asciilifeform: ty mircea_popescu. that's the one.
19:14:37 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes ^^^^
19:16:07 *: ben_vulpes reads...again
19:16:11 decimation: asciilifeform: so did the sks server at one point accept anvin's key and then later bitrotted it?
19:16:20 decimation: cause I thought there was a checksum
19:16:46 mircea_popescu: this seems the most ... "nothing happened, go back to sleep"-benign theory.
19:17:08 mircea_popescu: it seems tempting, tho there are sticking points. but in any case, as phuctor progresses we'll get a better idea.
19:17:17 mircea_popescu: now that it has 3, 7, 11 etc in the P it will find all these.
19:17:20 decimation: doesn't the sks server check before shitting public key?
19:17:26 decimation: 'oh I got a bad key'
19:17:43 mircea_popescu: more on point, would you expect they STORE bad keys ?
19:17:47 trinque: incidentally dieharder has been busted in gentoo for at least two months
19:17:48 mircea_popescu: why ? space is an issue, right ?
19:17:57 mircea_popescu: trinque how ?
19:18:01 trinque: I'm trying to figure out why it wont build
19:18:05 mircea_popescu: heh.
19:18:07 decimation: apparently because of their political stance (all gpg keys must be public and stored for all time)
19:18:09 ben_vulpes: trinque: so it's not me!
19:18:10 asciilifeform: they store them, easily enough, by never checking
19:18:14 mircea_popescu: !up referredbylopero
19:18:35 asciilifeform: l0l it cuts the nicks
19:18:38 mircea_popescu: decimation doesn't that stance open them to incredible ddos ?
19:18:44 decimation: heh yeah sure does
19:18:51 mircea_popescu: i mean, if the claims is accurate, what's to keep me from making anyone's sks profile 1 gb long ?
19:18:59 decimation: I don't think anything
19:19:00 mircea_popescu: full of 1mn such pubkeys ?
19:19:10 ben_vulpes: trinque: how does one go about walking the history of portage?
19:19:43 trinque: ben_vulpes: you can always build a specific version provided the ebuild is still available in portage by emerge =category-name/thing-0.1.2
19:19:59 trinque: this underscores the need to archive /usr/portage/distfiles
19:20:03 decimation: well, I guess if you want your 'roster of people' to be a combination of legal record and bathroom graffiti, they got you covered
19:20:12 asciilifeform: ^
19:20:13 trinque: and probably the portage tree itself
19:20:54 mircea_popescu: decimation anyway, we'll know more / anything of actual substance once the guy himself answers.
19:21:10 asciilifeform: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9561305
19:22:10 mircea_popescu: and we'll have a pretty decent picture once phuctor's done walking the set, which looks like a coupla months
19:22:10 decimation: indeed. I'm off on a home improvement project, good luck with the ramblig mob that's gonna come by
19:22:10 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the man has a good point.
19:22:10 asciilifeform: very much
19:22:39 asciilifeform: why not one of the guests is speaking, l0l
19:22:41 asciilifeform: all ddosed ?
19:23:18 davout: HN now displays "Why Japanese Toilets Are Failing in America (2013)" higher than this
19:23:39 trinque: lol this is now #20
19:23:42 trinque: for me
19:23:43 asciilifeform: davout: pg has an override button that is used very frequently and with scarcely any subterfuge
19:23:48 asciilifeform: (most folks know)
19:24:05 mircea_popescu: davout what diff does it make lol.
19:24:18 davout: none, just a random observation :D
19:24:25 asciilifeform: i recommend that someone who cares, snapshot the thing before it vanishes entirely
19:24:33 asciilifeform: assuming anyone cares.
19:24:38 davout: I was thinking time-decay algo
19:25:43 trinque: jumped from #1 to #20 abruptly for me

19:26:44 mircea_popescu: what was it that wiped an article badly leaving it still sorta-visible ?
19:26:44 mircea_popescu: was it reddit i think ?
19:26:44 asciilifeform: reddit
19:26:44 asciilifeform: re: blocksizewarz
19:26:44 asciilifeform: it was mega-lulzy
19:26:56 asciilifeform: because the 'hand of smiting' was visible
19:26:59 trinque: tendrils everywhere
19:28:51 mircea_popescu: oh right right
19:29:13 asciilifeform: iirc there's a full copy of it on mircea_popescu's www
19:29:28 mircea_popescu: was like "we have consensus and therefore will delete your reddit thread proving the contrary. because this will totally work, you being some derps who depend on the graham lulzatron"
19:29:31 mircea_popescu: then it... didn't work.
19:30:02 mircea_popescu: whether that proves the contrary, or for that matter whether the contrary needs any proof... exercise for reader.

19:43:18 delan: I really hope my keys’ factors are /actually/ prime
19:43:23 mircea_popescu: delan myeah. one shouldn't have to hope on this score, but then again here we are.
19:43:24 asciilifeform: delan: the good news is, that it remains possible to do arithmetic whether or not anyone grants permission. go and run test on your own
19:43:46 mircea_popescu: arithmetics drm, now that's an idea.
19:43:54 asciilifeform: delan: imagine, the entire 'international community' and obama himself can't stop you from running euclid.

19:45:21 asciilifeform: iirc no extant pgptron includes this functionality
19:47:26 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform tbh i find the "broken in transit" explanation offered by the back to sleep camp particularly ridiculous.
19:47:41 mircea_popescu: seriously, some bits got changed ? and what archive still extracted , no problem ?
19:47:48 mircea_popescu: no checksums even, no crypto, nothing at all ?
19:47:59 mircea_popescu: who is this supposed to persuade, exactly ?
19:49:22 davout: the real thing here would be to actually find a GPG implementation that does not run the check that leads normal ones to simply discard this key
19:49:41 delan: something fishy going on — http://puu.sh/hQVmI/b85c9c57d0.png
19:50:41 delan: probably getting nuked
19:50:41 mircea_popescu: davout how would you know it is even publicly accessible ?
19:50:45 mircea_popescu: maybe this is paort of a tandem with specific userland diddling.
19:51:01 mircea_popescu: which would neatly explain why it HAS TO stay on sks servers.
19:51:13 mircea_popescu: victim gets nsa-something or the other, gets the "key", etc.
19:51:18 asciilifeform: aha.
19:51:24 asciilifeform: the choice of victim is very telling
19:51:31 mircea_popescu: i meant the REAL victim.
19:51:36 asciilifeform: i should like to get a list of -everything- he 1) signed 2) public is running

19:52:26 mircea_popescu: "oh, it's not really what it seems, fart fart"
19:52:46 asciilifeform: the buggers' only defence
19:52:48 asciilifeform: is the fart cloud.
19:53:00 asciilifeform: expect it to thicken, thicken.
19:53:20 mircea_popescu: anyway, im not entirely sure we might ever see the diddled gpg that goes with this didlded key to produce anything interesting
19:53:27 mircea_popescu: but if we do see it, im definitely publishing the story.
19:53:37 davout: mircea_popescu: yup, not saying it's possible, saying that would be definitive proof
19:53:52 mircea_popescu: it would be, yes, if it were to somehow be found.
19:54:02 asciilifeform: actually the necessary diddle would be small:
19:54:07 asciilifeform: anything that doesn't check self-sigs.
19:54:11 davout: yep, not saying anything more
19:54:21 asciilifeform: probably includes at least one 'www-based' pgptron
19:54:25 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, i suspect it's more subtle than that.
19:54:43 asciilifeform: subtle bug triggered by really terrible keys?
19:54:45 asciilifeform: also possible
19:54:46 mircea_popescu: there's a long tradition of "must fail to pass" bullshit seen in the wild, and allegedly not originated by nsa
19:54:48 asciilifeform: perhaps even remote exec
19:55:02 mircea_popescu: for all you know this is the magic packet required to X.
19:55:28 asciilifeform: somebody wanna copy cryptome on this ?

20:33:21 BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, downside of sleeping in is I missed a timely annoucement of keys shattering. On the plus side Am I reading it right, that the pattern seems to be various sorts of strongset people have these weak keys, almost exclusively?

21:26:49 alphonse23_: thanks
21:27:36 mircea_popescu: aha. who're you ?
21:27:41 alphonse23_: I came because of the 4096-rsa article
21:27:59 mircea_popescu: aite.
21:28:34 alphonse23_: mostly curious why HN would care to hide the story?
21:28:46 alphonse23_: but from the article it was reported here.
21:28:53 davout: re the bitbet, this guy had it: "So I can still drop bad keys on purpose? Or key had to be added before announcing this bet?"
21:28:59 trinque: alphonse23_: interesting, eh? it plummeted from #1 very strangely
21:29:05 mircea_popescu: graham, altman &co are butthurt because we regularly mock their "venture capitalism" ? i dunno
21:29:08 mircea_popescu: !up tcrypt
21:29:19 alphonse23_: HN has changed a lot in the pass few months
21:29:28 alphonse23_: it's a lot more heavily moderated
21:29:44 alphonse23_: i've been going there daily for years, and I've noticed the change
21:29:46 mircea_popescu: davout that bet promises to be a conundrum to resolve.
21:29:51 davout: no shit
21:30:31 alphonse23_: but this, the mod manipulating titles -- for whatever reason. There's ton of down voting too.
21:30:51 alphonse23_: it's like, their in league with the NSA now or something...
21:30:57 mircea_popescu: eh, their site, they can do whatever they please.
21:31:03 mircea_popescu: i don't personally use it.
21:31:18 davout: the bet was misworded from the beginning, had someone intentionally created a set of shitty keys and fed the to the phuctor, it would resolve as yes
21:31:43 davout: the title diddling on HN is documented in the comments actually
21:31:52 mircea_popescu: the conundrum is more along the lines of "what constitutes a key"
21:32:38 mircea_popescu: alphonse23_ anyway, the mistake here is for members of the public naive enough to imagine conde nast / ycombinator / etc sites represent anything but the alt-reality their owners have a financial interest in.
21:32:49 davout: that's the easy part i think "anything recognized as such by asset's favorite gnupg version"
21:32:49 trinque: this guy's making me write a test program to fix an include in glibc
21:32:51 mircea_popescu: they will farm said naive members of the public for free content, yes.
21:32:51 trinque: lol
21:32:54 mircea_popescu: but that's as far as it goes.
21:32:59 trinque: it's plainly visible looking at the header itself
21:33:12 mircea_popescu: davout then i suppose it's not broken yet ?
21:33:43 davout: mircea_popescu: well, if i craft a key whose factors are 1 and 3, theoretically it's a valid gpg key
21:33:56 davout: if i then submit a key whose factors are 3 and 5
21:34:09 davout: phuxxored they are, to yes the bet should resolve
21:34:19 mircea_popescu: !up joshbuddy
21:34:26 mircea_popescu: davout yes, had you done it afore the bet i guess.
21:34:28 alphonse23_: mircea_popescu: but to do it so openly, how does that not hurt them.
21:34:40 davout: mircea_popescu: right, the bet does specify the number of moduli to test
21:34:55 joshbuddy: hiya, just hanging out after reading the hilarious rsa key blog post by .. umm you
21:34:56 mircea_popescu: alphonse23_ whom has heardbleed hurt ?

23:07:10 trinque: DreadKnight: doing the ad-supported thing is a loss leader at best; you have to be able to burn money until your audience is large enough to merit being paid for the # of eyeballs
23:08:30 DreadKnight: ben_vulpes, a return is not always needed, some people do things for passion or practice; there are quite a few nice free open source games out there and software, most likely the browser you are making is done half by unpaid contributors
23:08:49 DreadKnight: trinque, the ad crap is my last option
23:09:18 ben_vulpes: i'm just trying to point out why you're having problems retaining horsepower is all
23:10:03 ben_vulpes: just because she doesn't care about her boyfriend around that other guy doesn't mean diddly when it comes to your desire to get up her skirt
23:10:04 DreadKnight: ben_vulpes, yeah, I'm aware, that's why it's perfectly fine to pay people to work on open source and it's why I need some funding or get better at coding
23:11:04 DreadKnight: anyway, I partnered up with a coder this year, will see how that goes in the long run
23:11:27 williamdunne: >Forget MPEX. The best/most reliable stock exchange is, by far, BTCT.CO.

23:14:56 pete_dushenski: no, par velo
23:15:00 pete_dushenski: "by bike"
23:15:03 ben_vulpes: davout:
23:15:32 pete_dushenski: "sur" is too literal of a translation from english, "par bicyclete" even.
23:16:52 decimation: I don't think it ever gets too hot there?
23:16:59 decimation: the pacific moderates
23:17:04 mxtm: pete_dushenski: spanish uses en for "by" in cases of transportation
23:17:12 mxtm: which translates "in/on"
23:17:18 mxtm: fwiw

23:22:09 pete_dushenski: ahaha mr. "i'm almost certain"
23:24:16 williamdunne: I'm pretty sure the internet was invented for two purposes, selling drugs and pretending to know stuff you don't
23:24:28 williamdunne: Anything outside of that is just abusing the tech
23:27:06 decimation: asciilifeform: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9561764 < lol you butthurt the mr. spam mod
23:28:06 pete_dushenski: williamdunne except... the internet sucks for drugs. mp has an ancient essay on the matter.
23:28:06 decimation: pete_dushenski: mircea's 'story' on hacker news was quickly demoted to well below visibile for most folks
23:28:07 williamdunne: pete_dushenski: Wasn't the first transaction ever completed on the internet the purchase of weed?
23:28:11 decimation: meanwhile this guy (hboeck) has a post that pretty much says "nothing to worry about", and is promoted to #1
23:29:24 pete_dushenski: decimation lulzy.
23:29:24 pete_dushenski: williamdunne the first transaction was knowledge, no ?
23:34:24 williamdunne: pete_dushenski: Trade then
23:34:27 williamdunne: Okay
23:34:39 williamdunne: Read the article, and I still don't see how that makes it bad for the last mile
23:35:02 williamdunne: Obviously 10 tonnes of cocaine isn't going to be carried by FedEx
23:35:54 ben_vulpes: for one, fedex doesn't hire its submersibles out yet
23:36:08 ben_vulpes: people aren't even supposed to know those exist
23:39:53 pete_dushenski: williamdunne i really have nfi what the first trade was. if you say it's weed, we'll go with that, but that doesn't mean that first=best

23:40:50 ben_vulpes: what does "kinda cool" mean
23:40:57 ben_vulpes: last mile delivery?
23:41:25 williamdunne: Its a line of speedboats that can go underwater on command without any real preparation to collect drugs dropped from boats
23:41:31 williamdunne: For the coast guard to stop drug smugglers

23:59:37 pete_dushenski: no customs, no duty, nothing complicated.
