[QUOTE=Peavy262;23875315]I'd piss myself if some random internet geek cracked it in like a week.[/QUOTE]
RSA incription was invented in the 70s.
Trust me, if no one cracked it untill now-no one will.
Also, bruteforcing this would take loads of computing power to do in reasonable time, even with all of the none-supercomuters today combined you would not be able to crack it in like a bajillion years.

OK then, execute all wikileaks employees and destroy all of their computers.
[QUOTE=Ericsson;23875076]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

I meant, key is not like "password", it's algorithm[/QUOTE]
Ok then.

It's not stored in their office :downs:
To people saying "hurr well you could get it by chance"
The key is along the lines of 103F0349B034920EC09302309BEFCA09C09C003240239400B009312309132E but more random and 256 characters long. It's literally impossible to crack with current (or perceivable future) technology.

You will need a quantum computer, and these havn't been invented yet (at least not civilian ones-god knows what the army has)

Isn't there some theory / rumour / general paranoia that the NSA can crack RSA or that there's a backdoor in it.

who cares, execute them all anyways. it's not like they've done anything good.

Well running some calculations it would take 416 years per round (5824 years in total for a 14 round AES256) if a Related Key attack was performed using every single PS3 sold so far running flat out (2 TFlops).
That's assuming every calculation was the generation of a 256bit Hex key
Just imagine if the top 500 fastest super computers joined that pool :dance:
It may be impossible in our lifetime but it's still possible "before the universe ends".
We should start it now so that people in 5123423424324 AD can possibly learn about the Afghan War.

RSA uses an a-symmetrical method that relies on prime numbers. if some can make it symmetric (you will have to be a genius though, because no civilian mathematician managed to do it so far) it would be cracked.
Either that, or they invented a quantum computer that can basically just bruteforce it in a very short time.
Or they didn't manage to crack it at all and it's all a load of donkey balls.

And all you have to do is not only guess, but decrypt file with every brute forced algorithm and check which one looks like some real file

What if they are bluffing, and "insurance" is nothing at all? What if they're just using it to stop the government from shutting them down or something?

There is random padding added, obviously, to help with obfuscation.

True, factor in those extra instructions and the number of years shoots through the roof
Generating enough keys is possible within hundreds/thousands of years
But without horribly streamlined hardware to perform the decryption at the same speed you might as well load up the software and have a child hammer away at the keyboard.
