In all probability, but the motivation is fascinating. I wonder if it's the same guy whose graffiti adorns my bus stop?

Whilst our signatures are quotes from the same person, let me assure you that graffiti is the highest form of art.
It is not done for profit or notoriety.
It's just a pity so much of it is crap, however, good, great and terrific graffiti is free and not sold to anyone.

Peter, I assume that you are a Frank fan. (due to the sig)
Have you found another composer that delights you as much?

I bet MM would have very good suggestions.

I'd go for a phrase taken randomly from a collection, so that we could gather all suggestions and they would just happen randomly.
(Of course, I'd vote down all messages just to see my own contributions appear, but that's another story).

Not really clear what encryption they're on about, but I'd be impressed if its SSL. It strikes me as odd that two keys which work together to encrypt and decrypt data are so remote from each other that you couldn't get one from the other.

I tried to reverse a SHA1 hashcode one lazy Saturday, obviosuly not the original value but any value which would produce the hash. Didn't manage it. Frown | :(

Rob Philpott.

Without looking too closely, that looks like a database where they've got a lot of hashes (43 billion) presumably generated by hashing lots of values. If that's the case I'd expect it to be useless because 43 billion is a pin-point subset of all possible values.

My thinking when I tried to work it in reverse is because the method was iteratitive if I could just come up with a single value on each reverse iteration I'd be able to eventually get back to a starting point. That works, but the problem is the starting point is invalid. I think they've thought this through!

Rob Philpott.

Not surprised!

Then all you need to do is sprinkle a little salt into the equation and your task has just been made harder. Even with huge rainbow tables at your disposal for standard mechanisms it takes a long time.

"Project Bullrun deals with NSA's abilities to defeat the encryption used in specific network communication technologies. Bullrun involves multiple sources, all of which are extremely sensitive." The document reveals that the agency has capabilities against widely used online protocols, such as HTTPS, voice-over-IP and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), used to protect online shopping and banking.
