Wikileaks posts huge encrypted file - Polidicks

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;23876457]Maybe we can open the file by printing it and tossing it into the ground![/QUOTE] nah we just need a really big canopener

Got my download.

[QUOTE=JustGman;23876493]Someone hide the file in a .jpg of the FBI seal and upload it to Wikipedia.[/QUOTE] no, hide it in a 4tb big bmp file

This is just ridiculous. Sure, give EVERYONE the file, including the possible terrorist cells we have here in the States. Sure, nobody has the pass, yet, but if it does get released, then we get expect a very bad backlash.

I'm starting to think Wikileaks is a threat to national security somehow

Prusse holy shit stop posting

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;23876819]It's ok because I keep the HDD with all my Wikileaks stuff (including .htmls of various pages on USA/Germany/Finland/Russia) on a HDD with the three 25-letter long passwords on a Post-It taped onto the hdd[/QUOTE] Do you know how easily crackable your hdd is, no matter how long your password is. You have optical disk in your hands, why can't you access certain parts of it? WHY?

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;23876865]Why :frown:[/QUOTE] :frown: because you're getting kinda annoying

It may be crucial information, but it may just be worthless garbage. We'll just have to wait and see.

Not to mention terrorists in the US would not be interested by what is effectively paperwork filled out (badly in some cases apparently) by people in a war zone.

[QUOTE=Tetracycline;23876948]:frown: because you're getting kinda annoying[/QUOTE] he's just ecstatic to be able to have top secret stuff!

[QUOTE=butters757;23876950]Sure, but we don't even know what's inside. It may be crucial information, but it may just be worthless garbage. We'll just have to wait and see.[/QUOTE] The information they already posted has people hiding in a fear over in Afghanistan. Put a Wikileaks employee over in an Afghan village, and tell him to explain to them all, why he's putting their lives at risk, and then ask him if it's worth it. He'll have the blood on his hands. Not the U.S.. We help the people who help us. It's out job to protect these people now. They were never in immediate danger till Wikileaks put out this information on the net. I doubt it's worthless.

Why are you people putting it on flash drives and hiding it you paranoid twits? If the pass gets out then the contents of this file will be splashed all over everywhere.

I also realize that a domestic terrorist, is a more immediate threat than a foreign terrorist.

[QUOTE=Wolfie13;23876238]You'd have to kill them all at once.[/QUOTE] wouldn't be too hard

Probably some unreleased highly secret files which with no doubt can be decrypted by experts of the CIA but not the public. The key is that the US government knows what's inside and the public doesn't. Obviously either side won't tell the public(which has the only purpose of "spreading" the file) a thing unless the other makes a mistake. Result: Draw

Well whatever is in that file, it will be a disappointment. Unless it proves 9/11 was caused by the US government. Or the second season of FireFly.

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;23877820]How comes people think CIA or FBI could crack it? [I][B]BRUTEFORCING WOULD TAKE BILLIONS X BILLIONS ^BILLIONS OF YEARS, EVEN IF EVERY PERSON ON EARTH HAD A SUPER-COMPUTER[/B][/I][/QUOTE] Don't they have a cracking thing, or something?

[QUOTE=smurfy;23877759]I thought we'd made this clear: NO ONE on planet Earth now or for the next several decades is going to crack this file without the key.[/QUOTE] I'd give the CIA the key if I was wikileaks. It doesn't work if the enemy doesn't know what you are holding against him.

Unless they have nothing against them and it's a bluff. Also, the CIA could choose to release this information before wikileaks does it. They can be like "Ok guys here is our dirty laundry, we are sorry" And then Wikileaks won't have shit. But if the CIA doesn't know what information Wikileaks has, they can't do anything.

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;23878197]You can't simply "crack" a 256 symbol password Bruteforcing would take [B]billions x billions^billions x billions[/B] of years that would be [B]IF EVERY PERSON IN THE WORLD HAD A PC THAT WAS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO BRUTEFORCE EFFECTIVELY[/B][/QUOTE] Bruteforcing is the only method?

the us government has alien technology given to them by the illuminati during 9/11 they can crack 4096bit encryption!!

Wikileaks are playing a dangerous game here, release that key and there will probably be hell to pay.

If that key is ever released we're headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

So many retarded 14 year old kids in this thread.

[QUOTE=Killuah;23878419]Well then Wikileaks would've reached their goal.[/QUOTE] But now you are assuming that "Wikileaks" motives are pure. They might have their own agenda. And perhaps Assange likes to be the white knight in the shining armour bringing the truth in a world full of doubt.

Regarding people talking about quantum computers and how they'd crack this in an instant: It doesn't work that way. Unless you actually manage to design a special "closed system" with a quantum state that represents the data/logic/algorithms involved; and even then it's not guaranteed to work, and if it does, good luck reading back the result. On the other hand, for a "regular" quantum computer to crack such a probability space any faster, it'd have to have a pre-selection criteria, one that we don't have in this case.
