America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

So the American & British governments have cracked the encryption codes. They now have access to each of you emails, every financial transaction on a debit, credit or online payment, along with your medical records.

Bought those Cuban cigars online?
Saw that psychiatrist a couple times, but you were assured it was 100% confidential?
Have an expensive medical condition with your insurance is currently paying out? Good luck getting another job.

But really, in the end, it is just the government keeping us safe, right?

This Edward Snowden was a real basstard, huh? Still feel that way?

As long as they protect me from those mooselems!

Respect My Authoritah..!!!

wouldn't a mark or a chip or somethin be easier..??

only here.... they've been required in Mexico for 20 years now.. go figure..

Not too concerned about it. Like they didn't already have all of this a while ago. Once the main stream media reports on something it is already old news.

When they kick out your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting in death row

My wife seems to favor Snowden snitchin' on the NSA but I'm numb. I don't know how I feel anymore.
Only a bombing of Iran's scattered nuclear facilities will cheer me up.

LOL! Damn bedpost. You got spunk, ya Lous Anis somonabich!

I'll ask the wife.

^Sounds painful but remind me to tell you about my childhood red ant incident some day when I can talk about it... I'm only now beginning to regain sensitivity.

Apologies to the OP for the threadjack but Lous Anis started it.

what ?



wheel,

Hey Wheel.....



Know how to tell your buddy is ghey?

He gets a hardon while you're ****ing him.

And yet we can't figure out for certain who is gassing who in Syria.

Big Brother is watching

dstieger's a mole..??

Without going into way too much detail on cryptography, no, they haven't cracked encryption, not even slightly. SHA-256 may be brute-forceable, and they may be able to create rainbow tables for single-hashed encryptions, but you can just encrypt with SHA-256, salt and rehash with SHA-256 again and it would take a billion computers well over a billion years to approach a 50% likelihood of successfully brute-forcing double-hashed and salted SHA-256.

Probably got way too into cryptography there, but basically, if I want to encrypt something, I go from A>B. I can add whatever gibberish I want to 'B', and then encrypt it again to get C. If someone manages to crack 'C', they are just left with encrypted 'B' and whatever hexidecimal characters were used to 'salt', or randomize the encryption and would have to start from scratch again. You can salt and rehash unlimited times. You'd need quantum computers to carry out a bruteforce crack in a reasonable timeframe.

There are also loads of other encryption algorithms, such as serpent, twofish, AES-256, etc. that are also veritably uncrackable, particularly when used in combination with other algos.







Of course, that all assumes the NSA hasn't greased every palm in the cryptography game and gotten themselves a nice little backdoor entrance built, but the odds of that backdoor going unnoticed for as long as SHA-256 has been a global standard are astronomical. It would have been exploited long ago, and some gang in russia would be rolling in piles of billions of dollars.

Yeah, thats what happened.


"We have a problem here...Bubba Zanetti has it on good authority. She's sent by the bronze. Full of treachery. The bronze... take our pride."

"Don't do this to me, please! Aw, Sweet Jesus! I was sick! Don't bring this on me, please!"

Huh? I understood some of the words, but none of the sentences.


Anyway, I'm sure it's a smokescreen and a total LIE! I watched Swordfish! Hugh Jackman could unsalt a SHA256 algofish in 30 seconds .....WHILE GETTING A HUMMER!!

He got better.

Burn her anyway!
