[QUOTE=Jiyoon;25288329]Kids got cp or warez. probably better that he didnt give them his password or else whatevers on there would get him in worse trouble[/QUOTE]
Agree, 4 months is better than whatever else they would give him
50 characters, god damn, I thought my 16 character password was good :sigh:
I don't think he should have been jailed but child pornography is bad.
If he gets locked up for it then it serves him right.
Is this in the US? If so he should be innocent until proven guilty, and at home jerking off right now.

It's in the UK... jeez, it even tells you that in the sources link.
I thought you were better than this.
Well they were looking for child porn.
His refusal to give the password is quite clearly illegal; it's the same as though the police were issued a warrant to search his house, and he refused to let them inside.
[QUOTE=Agent_Wesker;25287391]I would not give them my password either.[/QUOTE]
Congratulations, you just got yourself arrested for obstruction of justice.
I have hardly anything illegal on my drives, yet I would never give my password to any cunt. Ever.
Seeing as how they're looking for child porn, he'd probably be in some bigger shit if he DID give them the password.

BROKE MY AUTOMERGE FUCKEr
Tho there is more than one way to gain entry in both cases.
But i dont know why he has to have a 50 char password.
I have a 23 char pass , But 50 is too mutch
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA is his password :P

Not American dipshit.
My Truecrypt password is 48 characters long, and it includes numbers, upper and lowercase, symbols and letters. There's nothing on there that would land me in jail (Just financial shit and scans of personal documents, like my Birth Certificate). I figure if you're gonna use Truecrypt you mightaswell have a pass that's not something like killallhumans456 or some shit.

How about you stop being an idiot about anything you find strange?
Anyways, good going. The guy's digging his own grave. He's already suspected of having CP (or whatever), refusing to give the password is not only gonna reinforce those suspicions but you will also get charged with obstruction of justice on top of that.
Surely the 'right to remain silent' includes not giving stuff like passwords?
[QUOTE=Kagrenak;25288177]I believe it's similar to searching your house, they handed down a warrant, in the course of serving the warrant, they needed to search this kid's computer. In almost all countries, you are required to assist with facilitating the serving of the warrant, lest you face punishment similar to this man. He most likely got away with a much lighter sentence than he otherwise would if he complied fully with their investigation, providing he is guilty.[/QUOTE]
You can deny their entry, in which case they have all right to force their entry, which they are doing. but if you live in a closed box of pure titanium, they're not getting in... which he figuratively does.
The legal system states "innocent until PROVEN otherwise" to prove that requires firm evidence. they can either settle for this thing he got for impeding investigation or they can try to prove it otherwise. They can't sentence him for possession of encrypted files that are potentially kinda child porn. They set the rules and they backfired. Kid walks with 4 months unless, whoever he molested is willing to give a statement and it would be sufficient. That's the procedure for you. It saves a lot of innocents from being imprissoned on claims rather than evidence... now it backfired. shit happens, but that's how it is and He's gonna walk unless they get into that Hard Drive or prove it otherwise.
Having an encrypted drive is perfectly legal. even if they "knew" by the gut or statements, they still need FIRM proof to convict him for possession of child porn. I hope they get him in some way though.

Password is an entry pass, not a memory that needs repeating, there's a difference.

Pedo with a good plan B.
[QUOTE=Kagrenak;25288059]2^256 = 1.15792089 × 10^77
AES-256 is about equivalent to a 50 char plaintext password. (A lot less, actually, as 62^50 = 4.16470721 × 10^89)
Assuming you have a cluster of CUDA cards equivalent to 10,000 8800GTS cards, you could do 68,300,000 Keys/s of AES testing (most likely encryption scheme.) it would take 1.695 × 10^68 seconds; or 3.226 × 10^62 years, expanded this is:
322,600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years.
So no, it can't be done, ever.[/QUOTE]
Is this assuming they even know how long the password is?

The police are probably well aware of the legality of having an encrypted harddrive. Think again though:
The guy is being suspected of having CP and when they find an encrypted HDD after searching his house with a warrant, he refuses to give up the password? Surely if he's got nothing to hide, he could just give the password?
Yeah, try proving your innocence now.
I used to have a 24 charactor password, a combination of 2 different passwords I used to use.
I was thinking about doing that again, but with a new password entirely. I love to enter a password and have people shit a brick because of how long it is.
i always thought about what would happen of i was in that situation
i wouldn't give the password, regardless
Not that fucking hard to make a damn 50 character long password. Just think of a sentence that would work for you.
It's actually a key, not password
I would've said I didn't remember it.

would've fucked them up then

When you decrypt data you don't put your own password in, what you call password is actually an algorithm showing how to decrypt data.
He must've been pissed at them.
ITT: People who don't know what cryptography is
My password is 10 characters long. I have nothing to hide from the police and never will. If they do want to see my computer they can see all my reports for school from 3 years ago. I don't understand why you all bring up this fantasy thing and go "Yesh I have tings I hide from popo. I have big password herp derp."
I'd rather obey the law then go to jail for 4 months.
