A supercomputer would still take billions of years.
And have the computers working together.
Wouldn't really lower much even if you added PS3s to work on the problem.

[QUOTE=rampageturke;23873196]Just get one of them super computers which can crack it in a matter of hours, or even less.[/QUOTE]
even if you had every single computer and super computer in the world working on it you wouldnt get it done in a human life time (though you may get it done before the computer's protons decay!)
Guys, AES cracking or bruteforcing is something impossible, forget about it
If you had every single computer running to do this, super computers included then the chances of one of them running into the right code coincidentally skyrockets.
I wouldn't go that far
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;23873639]The universe would end before we could bruteforce it :keke:[/QUOTE]
Nah probably just the Milky Way :v:
2183 would come before that, the year with the comet I think?
Doesn't it just take billions of years to try every combination? I doubt it would be the very last combination a computer tries. But still, I don't think we'd get it very quickly.

Insanely small.[/QUOTE]
Well yeah, but if you have millions working on the same thing then the chance of getting it seems more likely, and since they can look forever...they might do it with a bunch of luck

And it would still take billion billion billion etc... years.

Not really, for all you know you could get it in the first try, it's not a certainty, that's something statistics doesn't show you, it can't take into account luck
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;23872466]
Guys, how would you open the file? The extension [I]is[/I] .aes256 anyways. :raise:[/QUOTE]
I believe the software used for decrypting it would create the original file once its done. (or failing that it needs renaming to .7z after decryption like all files on wikileaks)

For it to be cracked in the first attempt it would have had to be encrypted with the first word in the dictionary (assuming a dictionary attack was attempted).
The passphrase is most likely a randomly generated string which WOULD take hundreds of years to crack.
[QUOTE=Swebonny;23869621]What do you mean a few minutes? A guy on a Swedish forum wrote:
And I shall translate:
If you want to decrypt/break AES-256 (key) then you must try 2^256 combinations. That is 11579208923731619542357098500868790785326998466564 0564039457584007913129639936 combinations.
Let's say that you can do 2 decryptations per microsecond, that is 2000000 decryptations per second. If you do it for one year that will be 62208000000000 decryptations. Let's say that the whole population of the world (6 billion people) would run the same algorithm, then you would make 373248000000000000000000 decryptations per year.
In that case, it would approximately 310000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 years to find the key.[/QUOTE]

That's like pointing a revolver with one bullet in it at a person and saying that adding a second round doesn't matter because they were already in danger.

It doesn't take into account the possibility of any of the zillions of attempts coincidentally running into the password

It's more likely that I shit out God than randomly hitting the right key.
While we're on the subject of decryption, how much of a dent will GPU's make? I remember reading an article where a guy achived 300 million MD5 hashes per second on a single GeForce 8800GT and judging by the Steam Hardware Survey just over 50% of steam users have this capability.
Digging around on the subject I found [url=http://jchblue.blogspot.com/2010/01/aes-speed-on-nvidia-gpu-471gbsp.html]This Blog Post[/url] which details AES encrption on a modern Nvidia GPU against a quad core CPU and in another blog post he shows that MD5 brute-forcing has increased tenfold.
Did anyone factor those as well as FPGA based systems, PS3's and the Nvidia Tesla platform when they were calculating how long it would take?
[QUOTE=HenryJ;23867703]It's pretty obvious that the "Insurance" is Wikileaks insurance. If anything would happen to them or their servers, they just tell people the password and 15,000 highly classified US documents are out on the Internet for everyone to see. Since the file is out there already, and is impossible to remove it from everyones harddrives, the US government can't do anything towards Wikileaks without risking all the files being leaked.
Damn, Wikileaks is awesome.[/QUOTE]
"You can't stop the signal."
Has anyone tried "password" yet?
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;23874837]Let me say one thing.. it still wouldn't take a day to crack it :v:[/QUOTE]
...What?
[QUOTE=GhostSonic;23874993]Has anyone tried "password" yet?[/QUOTE]
What? It have to be 256char long and in hexademical
[editline]11:23PM[/editline]
And just a FYI, it uses algorithm which is in key to decrypt, so it's impossible without actually knowing key.
[editline]11:24PM[/editline]
You guys better forget about "cracking" it
[editline]11:30PM[/editline]
I meant, key is not like "password", it's algorithm
I'd piss myself if some random internet geek cracked it in like a week.
