DES, MMX, and FPGAs
by Trei, Peter 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

In DES key search, the speed of a given machine is controlled by three main factors: clock speed, the algorithm used, and the availability of multiple issue (the last refers to perfoming 2 or more instructions in parallel). Clock speed can be easily factored out for comparison purposes. Algorithm is harder; a bitslice algorithm is a clear win on 64 bit machines with lots of registers, but is roughly equivalent to non-bitslice algorithms on 32 bit machines with a low register count (eg, Intel processors, even using MMX). Multiple issue can greatly speed up a specificly tuned assembly language version. I can't speak for the non-intel processors below, but the Pentium code below is all tuned for the vanilla Pentium, and does not get a boost from the PPro or P2. Let's do the numbers: d.net peak keys per second: 34,430,460,000 cpk (clocks per key) = (equiv * clock speed)/34B Processor clock (MHz) equiv cpk DEC Alpha 321064 142 (4) DEC Alpha 21066 220 (4) DEC Alpha 21064 533 11,264 176 (1) DEC Alpha 21164 (Deschall) 94 (3) Sun Ultra I 167 15,316 75 (1) SGI r10k 69 (4) Macintosh PowerPC 604e 200 68,859 403 (1)(2) Macintosh PowerPC 604e 200 137 (4) Intel Pentium II 333 22,393 219 (1)(6) Intel Pentium Pro 232 (4)(6) Intel Pentium 166 41,712 203 (1) Intal Pentium (Bryddes) 195 (5) Intel 486DX2 66 399,374 775 (1) Intel 386SX 20 7,446,033 4380 (1) (1) D.net press release. (2) This figure comes from the press release. I don't believe it for a moment. The next line gives a speed determined from a posting to the d.net mailing list, and is much more believable - if anything, it appears a little slow. (3) Deschall client (4) based on d.net mailing list posting. (5) Sven Mikkelsen's page. (6) I'm not aware of any fielded bitslice software for Intel MMX platforms. I suspect that it would not speed things up too much - there are simply too few registers, and you'd spend a lot of time moving stuff in and out of cache. I wouldn't be suprised if some of the figures above are incorrect, but it's clear that the best processors are getting down to 70-100 clock cycles per key. Wiener's keysearch engine unrolls the 16 rounds of DES, and is thus able to run in a similar way to an assembly line; once it's 'filled up' it tests 1 key per clock cycle. Any other version would run a lot slower. Some highly uninformed blather about FPGAs follows: Wiener's paper uses custom VLSI chips, and claims a need for 26k "gates" or 78257 "sites". I'm not sure how this translates to silicon requirements in FPGAs - it seems that "gate" and "site" are nominal terms which are not directly equivalent to actual, physical gates. I've found one reference to a general DES FPGA implementation which requires 25k gates, though it's not clear if this reuses the round circuitry, or 'unrolls' it (I suspect the latter, which would be good). I'm also not certain if a FPGA running at, for example, 50 MHz, can actually run logic operations at that speed. Some things I've read suggest that FPGAs run ops at several clocks per operation - which is still a lot better than a general purpose microprocessor. The fastest and largest FPGAs I'm aware of are the Xilinx 4000 series: The xc40125 has about 80,000 gates, and runs at around 100 MHz (and costs $1500!!). Suppose we use this chip, and everything works out optimally. We can fit 3 des engines per chip, and get 300 Mkeys/sec checked. To duplicate d.net's speed, we would need about 115 chips, or about $170k for the chips alone. A better choice would be the Xilinx Spartan XL series. This might be in the $20 - $40 a chip, and would run at 80MHz, and would fit only one des engine. This would be around $9k - $17k, which is still pretty high for an individual. At this speed (34Gkey/sec), it would still take 12 days to search half the keyspace, and the prices quoted are for the chip alone, no boards, chassies, or SW, and the speeds are assumed to be 1 key/engine/clock, which is optomistic. On the plus side, implementing a DES cracker in an FPGA actually affords us some efficiency savings over a non-reconfigurable chip. The cipher and plaintexts can be compiled into the design, and if you're willing to reload the chip frequently, the slower-changing portions of the key can be built in as well. This cuts the gate count considerably. I'd really like to see the next DES challenge taken on by some organization with a few hundred under utilized FPGA boards.

This is your NEW HOUSE, or BOAT, or ROLLS ROYCE
by rdshea＠20315.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

This is your NEW HOUSE, or BOAT, or ROLLS ROYCE THIS CAN BE YOUR BEST OF DREAMS! TRY IT! THIS MAY BE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT LETTER YOU WILL RECEIVE THIS YEAR!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Please, Follow The Instructions Of This Letter Very Carefully. Immediately Make A Copy, And Read It Twice.*** Subject: It's Only a Game, But You Win Big Money! Greetings, Hopefully my name is still on the list below. I am a retired attorney, and about two years ago a man came to me with a letter. The letter he brought me is basically the same as the letter in front of you now. He asked me to verify the fact that this letter was legal. I told him that I would review it and get back to him. When I first read the letter I thought it was some off-the-wall idea to make money. A week later I met again with my client to discuss the issue. I told him that the letter originally brought to me was not 100% legal. My client asked me to alter the letter to make it 100% legal. I advised him to make a small change in the letter and it would be alright. I was curious about the letter, so he told me how it works. I thought it was a long shot, so I decided against participating. Before my client left, I asked him to keep me updated as to his results. About two months later he called to tell me that he had received over $800,000 in cash! I didn't believe him so he asked me to try the plan and see for myself. I thought about it for a couple of days and decided that there was not much to lose. I followed the instructions exactly and mailed out 200 letters. Sure enough, the money started coming! It came slowly at first, but after three weeks I was getting more than I could open in a day. After about three months the money stopped coming. I kept a precise record of my earnings and at the end it totaled $868,439.00. I was earning a good living as a lawyer, but as anyone in the legal profession will tell you, there is a lot of stress that comes with the job. I told myself if things worked out I would retire from practice and play golf. I decided to try the letter again, but this time I sent 500 letters out. Well, three months later I had totaled $2,344,178.00!!! I just couldn't believe it. I met my old client for lunch to find out how this exactly works. He told me that there were a few similar letters going around. What made this one different is the fact that there are six names on the letter, not five like most others. That fact alone resulted in far more returns. The other factor was the advice I gave him in making sure the whole thing was perfectly legal, since no one wants to risk doing anything illegal. I bet by now you are curious about what little change I told him to make. Well, if you send a letter like this out, to be legal, you must sell something if you expect to receive a dollar. I told him that anyone sending a dollar out must receive something in return. So when you send a dollar to each of the six names on the list, you must include a slip of paper saying, "Please put me on your mailing list" and include your name, mailing address, and email address. (Your phone # is optional). This is the key to the program! The item you will receive for a dollar you send to the six names below, is this letter and the right to earn thousands. We will be working together to improve each others lives! Follow the simple instructions below exactly, and in less than three months you will receive over $800,000.00 GUARANTEED!!!!!! A) Immediately send $1.00 to each of the six people on the list below. Wrap the dollar in a note (type written or handwritten) saying "Please add me to your mailing list" and include your name, mailing address, and email address. Your phone number is optional: 1) Anthony Thomas 8150 East Hildale St. Detroit, MI 48234 2) Phillip Smith 24321 Sunnypointe Southfield, MI 48034 3) Claudia Stephan PO Box 1819 Carmichael, CA 95609 4) Nadia Segun PO Box 1357 Rancho Cordova, CA 95741 5) Lidia Zoring 3500 Data dr. # 147 Rancho Cordova, CA 95670 6) James Thomas 11329 S Peoria St. Chicago, IL 60643 B) Remove the name next to #1 on the list and move the rest of the names up one position. Then place your name in the #6 spot. This is best done by typing a new list and taping or gluing it over the old one. Or by saving this to a text file and editing it yourself and saving the new edited copy. C) When you have completed the above instructions, you have an option of mailing your new letter out in two ways: 1) Through the U.S. Postal Service or 2) through e-mail. This letter has been proven perfectly legal for both ways as long as you follow the above instructions, because you're purchasing membership in an exclusive mailing list . To mail this out over the internet, you can browse through areas and find people to send this to all the time. All you have to do is cut and paste email addresses wherever you are on the Internet. Remember, it doesn't cost anything to mail on the Internet. Or you can get a Mass Mail Network to mail it out in large volumes for you. 2 One that we recommend is: Cyber Mail ($15 / 200 names) ($25 / 500 names) ($50 / 1,500 names) 16500 North Park Dr. Suite 413 Southfield, MI 48075 (248) 557-7778 Either way will bring big payoffs. If you are going to use the traditional U.S. Postal Service to do this program, you will want to order a minimum 200 names from a mailing list company. Two that have been most effective for these lists are: ***Be sure to ask for "Opportunity Seekers" and request a list less than 30 days old*** S.E. Ring Mailing List ($26 / 200 names) P.O Box 15061 Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33318 (954) 742-9519 Advon Distributors ($28 / 200 names) P.O. Box B-11 Shelly, ID 83274 (800) 992-3866 ***Keep in mind- there is no limit to the amount of names you can send out. The more names you send, the more money you'll make. We strongly encourage you to mail this letter to family, friends and relatives as well.*** D) When your mailing list arrives, place one label on a stamped envelope and drop it in the mail box (Be sure to send out at least 200). Within 90 days, you will receive over $800,000. E) Keep a copy of this letter and all the names you receive. Mail it out again in about 6 months. But mail it to the addresses you received with each dollar. It will work again, only much better. THIS IS A SERVICE AND IS 100% LEGAL ! (Refer to title 18, Section 1302 & 1342 of the U.S. Postal and Lottery Laws) 3 Assume for example you get a 7.5% return rate, which is very conservative. My first attempt was about 9.5% and my second time was over 11%. 1) When you mail out 200 letters, 15 people will send you $1.00. 2) Those 15 mail out 200 letters, and 225 people will send you $1.00 3) Those 225 mail out 200 letters, and 3,375 people will send you $1.00 4) Those 3,375 mail out 200 letters, and 50,625 people will send you $1.00 5) Those 50,625 mail out 200 letters, and 759,375 people will send you $1.00 At this point your name drops off the list, but so far you have received $813,615.00!!!!! It works every time, but how well depends on how many letters you send out. In the example above, you mailed out 200 letters, if you mailed out 500 letters, you would have received $2,006,917!! Check the math yourself, I want you to, but I guarantee it is correct! With this kind of return, you've got to try it. Try it once and you will do it again!!! Just make sure you send a dollar to each of the six names on the list with a note to be added to their mailing list. Together we will all prosper!!!! PS You've read this far, so let me ask you one simple question: Q. What do you have to lose?? A. Only $ 6.00 What you can gain is an income, like the example in this letter. Small Risk, Small Expense, HUGE Potential Return!!! What do you have to loose? I invite you to join our mailing list today!!! Don't throw this away. Keep it, think about it, and in several months you will try it! I looked at it for over two months and then I said "it's only $6" I have to be nuts not to try it.

(crosspost) [IWAR] ANONYMITY HTML risk (fwd)
by Ken Williams 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

---------- Forwarded message ---------- >>From: <jericho(a)dimensional.com> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- >From: 7Pillars Partners <partners(a)sirius.infonex.com> To: g2i list <g2i(a)xmission.com>, IWAR list <iwar(a)sirius.infonex.com> Date: Thu, 26 Feb 1998 09:30:06 -0800 (PST) Reply-To: iwar(a)sirius.infonex.com Subject: [IWAR] ANONYMITY HTML risk Two points: military personal should be particularly aware of this problem, and users with needs for anonymity should be certain to check out the options provided by the Anonymizer. --MW Is Web-Based Mail Bad for Your Anonymity? by Steve Silberman 5:03am 26.Feb.98.PST It's the kind of scare story, posted from an anonymous address, that makes the rounds of computer security mailing lists and newsgroups. This time, however, the scenario was so simple as to be highly plausible. The post - made last week to the Cypherpunks mailing list - began ominously: "I just had my online pseudonym outed to my company's VP of marketing, with potentially serious internecine political consequences." The author explained that, like many people, he maintains two separate email addresses: a work account, and an alternate account on a remote server at the local college. For the latter, the author employs a pseudonym. This, he says, allows him to speak his mind about political views, as well as his disdain for his employer's use of unsolicited bulk emailings - spam - without fear of reprisal. The author's cover was blown, he said, the day he used Netscape Mail on his workstation to fetch a message mailed by his company to his account on the college server. So where was the leak? Like more and more email programs, Netscape Messenger - along with Outlook Express, Eudora 4.0 and many free Web-based mail services such as Hotmail - offers users the ability to send and receive not only text messages, but fully-rendered Web pages, in all their graphical glory. If a user has both Eudora 4.0 and Internet Explorer, for instance, Eudora will borrow IE's HMTL-rendering capabilities to display Web pages sent in mail messages. The mail targeted by the company to the author's pseudonymous address was written in HTML, and contained a standard image tag. When Netscape opened the mail and rendered the page, the tag sent a call to the company's Web server to fetch the image, which left a tell-tale footprint - the IP address of the author's machine - on his employer's logs. Busted! As software designers aim for a seamlessly integrated desktop - with multiple email accounts, the Web, and local file access all a click away - the tools you select for everyday tasks are more important than ever. "This isn't really a mail security issue," observes Eric S. Raymond, author of a remote mail-retrieval utility called fetchmail. "Email security is nonexistent anyway unless you use a strong end-to-end encryption method like PGP, but that wouldn't have helped here. The issue was an unintended side effect of having an intelligent agent read your mail and go off to the Web to get a piece of information. If he'd been using a [text mail] program like Elm or Pine or Mutt, he wouldn't have gotten bitten." Cryptography consultant Bruce Schneier, author of E-Mail Security: How to Keep Your Electronic Messages Private, points out that exchanging text-only messages and exchanging HTML entail different levels of information exchange between sender and recipient. "HTML is a robust protocol designed to make things run smoothly, therefore it passes a lot of information behind the scenes. That's why it's useful," he says. Reading Web pages with an HTML-enabled mail program doesn't leave any more of a trail behind you than surfing through a site - but it doesn't leave any less of one, either. You may not even know when you're on the Web when you read your mail with a Web-enabled program. Several online publications - including Wired News - are available in email form, via options such as Netscape In-Box Direct. The text portion of the publication is sent to your in-box, but images may be siphoned from a remote server when you open the message. Clicking on links may take you out on the Web while you still think you're reading mail on your own hard drive. For Simson Garfinkel, author of Web Security and Commerce, the lessons to be gleaned from this incident are not about text vs. HTML mail software, but about workplace rights. "This individual was using his computer at work, and he thought that because he was reading personal mail on another ISP, his computer was not subject to his employer's scrutiny.
