Any encryption in the Bin Laden intel that NSA can not break

[gypsyman]

Is there anything we got out of the compound that is so deeply encrypted that even the NSA can't break it? Given time and the resources is there anything they can not crack?

Give me 5 mins I'll go check what we got out.

al Qaeda!

get 'em!!

never saw the release of the encrypted notes found on a dead guy that the fbi couldn't crack? they posted it on their website hoping someone else could.

let me look for a link

Yeah I just checked with Bob. Apparently hes busy tracking down some file sharers so it looks like we are going to farm the OBL encryption job out to a Chinese botnet.

haha^

After we cracked his password (it was "god"), all we found was his porn collection. Go figure

 

[olds]

I just got an email form Bob (wtf is a Chinese botnet?) asking me to check the OBL folder marked "Death To Imperialistic Pigs". It was cleverly encrypted and meant to throw people off.

He was just hiding his porn from his wives.

There's some forms of encryption that are unbreakable without the key.

The NSA shouldn't be able to crack a good password on a 256-bit AES (Rijndael) encrypted file. Only a incredibly massive conspiracy or an incredible secret leap forward in technology would allow them to speed up the brute force attack process.

Unless Osama wrote his password on a post-it note and stuck it to his monitor.

Actually Bob wants to know if anyone looked under his keyboard.

They were probably using Winzip + password on their Windows 95 computers.

Of course that was just pictures of ankles and elbows.

 

[spidey07]

I doubt it. Unless it was home-brewed, I really doubt it. And even if it was it'd be easier to crack.

Apparently it was

And this.

Goats have elbows?

In ours or our childrems lifetimes? Plenty.

They've got the computers, so even if it was some homebrew type of encryption, it seems (to me) that they'd be able to figure out the encryption technique and at least use brute force to get through.

As far as encryption, I'm fairly sure that I could write an algorithm that could be used to send an encrypted message to and from someone else, without anyone who intercepted it being able to decrypt it. BUT, if you got a hold of my computer - you'd be able to learn the encoding technique fairly easily.

 

[Farmer]

If you speak of public key encryption, if your only technique is brute force, it is entirely conceivable that there are encryptions you can't crack (by can't crack, I mean it will take too long to crack, like, until after the predicted death of the Sun).

For instance, breaking 1024 bit RSA/AES using conventional algorithm on your personal computer is "impossible."

Hmm not even with a huge cluster of PS3s and rainbow table for full char set?

Wow. That's pretty sweet

Is this the same one somebody posted here for us to crack?

I believe the answer had something to do with Ovaltine.
