John A. Limpert says: > Why would the attacker need to run the key setup 65536 times? I could have been more clear. Forgive a little bit of code... Here is the beginning of the alleged RC4: for(counter = 0; counter < 256; counter++) state[counter] = counter; index2 = 0; key->x = key->y = index1 = index2 = 0; for(counter = 0; counter < 256; counter++) { index2 = (key_data_ptr[index1] + state[counter] + index2) % 256; swap_byte(&state[counter], &state[index2]); index1 = (index1 + 1) % key_data_len; } If it was changed to for(counter = 0; counter < 256; counter++) state[counter] = counter; key->x = key->y = index1 = index2 = 0; for(i = 0; i < 65536) { /* stir the pot a long time */ for(counter = 0; counter < 256; counter++) { index2 = (key_data_ptr[index1] + state[counter] + index2) % 256; swap_byte(&state[counter], &state[index2]); index1 = (index1 + 1) % key_data_len; } } Then the prepare_key routine would take much much longer. The idea is that a 64 bit crypto routine can be arbitrarily secure against brute-forcing, if you are willing to pay a runtime penalty every time you use it. thad -- Thaddeus Beier email: thad(a)hammerhead.com Technology Development vox: 408) 286-3376 Hammerhead Productions fax: 408) 292-8624

Before poo-pooing Tim, declaring victory, and returning home, it should be noted that German prosecutors today added AOL to the list of entities they wish to charge with "inciting hatred." UMASS will of course test the political waters before taking any action, but we may yet see the gonads of Futplex hanging from one of the upper floors of the Graduate Research Center. :) Time will tell whether we have won this war, or have simply encountered a lull after the first onslought by the enemy. -- Mike Duvos $ PGP 2.6 Public Key available $ mpd(a)netcom.com $ via Finger. $

Hi CPunks. I went into www.umass.com, somewhere into it up untill I could find an e-mail adress, and mailed this letter: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- to: Dean of the University. From: Jean-Francois Avon Pierrefonds, QC, Canada jf_avon(a)citenet.net While I do not believe nor endorse the neo-nazi movements and their ideas, I consider interesting to be able to look at their arguments, if only to make my own opinion of them. I understand that you banned a WWW site providing such information. I also understand that this site presented this information to oppose the german govt. in their censoring actions against some such sites. I do not have a first hand knowledge of the content of the specific site (Zundel) that started the whole thing and I am convinced that many other pro-nazi might use some material presented in a decent way for quite questionnable ends. But nevertheless, from what I read, you seemed to have banned a site out of political correctness. I hope it is not true. Unfortunately, freedom and liberty, thoses crutial and typically american values, seems to be eroded first by thoses trusted to protect them: the american intellectual and scholar. We live in a very sad world, where reason is dissapearing slowly, being replaced by fear and low animal instincts. Please pardon my poor english.

How "anonymous" (to what degree) are email messages sent through the various remailers (Mixmaster, EFGA, ml.org, etc)? Have there been any studies done as to the degree of anonymity obtained from using these remailers? (I haven't been able to find any.) And does anyone know of any studies being done in determining whether or not content-based analysis - diction and language - is a reliable way to determine identity? It seems that if Dick has a certain vocabulary, uses a certain sentence structure, etc., and regularly posts using a nym, that this form and content could be traced to Dick, so the likelihood of the post coming from him and not Jane would be that much increased.

Not all Americans are racists. Just the stupid ones are. This is not true. Tim May is not stupid. He is insensitive and bigoted, violent and dangerous. He is certainly a racist, and believes in the superiority of the white race. But he is not stupid.

Not much ambiguity here, is there? No waffling about what a capital crime is. This is a clear statement that Florida governor Chiles as well as various federal officials should be shot. More deaths, more killings, more murders. That is what Tim May stands for. > Every day that passes, I'm more convinced that McVeigh did the right thing. > Some innocents died, but, hey, war is hell. Broken eggs and all that. This speaks for itself. Only an utterly depraved, sick, and vicious individual could support the killings in Oklahoma City. This is the man who many would say is the most respected on the list.
