Imagine you suddenly found out how to crack any encryption.. would you make it public or sell it to a secret agency and live the rest of your life comfy?
the latter
>>57206833
>implying that a 3 letter agency wouldn't suicide you to make sure you couldn't talk to anyone else
>>57206861
good point..
Why not both? Take money, go abroad, publish it
Government will probably kill you anyway because you know too much
>>57206878
>go abroad
yea.. that's totally going to protect you from secret agents..
>>57206833
guys guys
I just found out how, but
it would take a reeeally long time
>>57206833
>or sell it to a secret agency and live the rest of your life comfy?
or use it yourself to crack private keys of loaded bitcoin wallets and live the rest of your life comfy and legally. Also have the privilege to use it for fun live a smug life.
>>57206833
A magical key to AES-256?
Now that's nice. I'll make it public, and seek shelter in another nation for my safety.
>>57206897
damn it.. I wasnt seeing the wood for the trees
>>57206833
first sell it, then produce an anonymous leak that the agencies know
>>57206897
>>57206910
>open Bitcoin wallet
>Bitcoins gone
>>57206833
I'd decrypt the wikileak insurance files
release them all
post how to decrypt any aes file
then live under a bridge
>>57206889
Well Snowden and Assange are relatively safe
>>57206833
>live
I've got bad news for you.
>>57206833
I don't want to die :(
>>57206896
Let me guess. The length of the margin is too small to publish the code?
>>57206833
Probably won't make it public, but secretly disclose to whatever organizations takes care of that, and then land a cushy $200,000 job using the connections I got
i would publicize it
on /g/
>Imagine you suddenly found out how to crack any encryption.
I wouldn't tell ANYONE and just use that information for personal gain.

lmao

How about no?
>>57206833
>crack any encryption
How fast are we talking? like... seconds to minutes fast or 3.17 * 10^86 years fast?
If I could crack anything /fast/, I'd just live the rest of my life selling cracked accounts for dosh, then maybe I'd make it public when I'm 90 years old or something
>>57207365
You'll be able to reverse the algorithm without any guessing
>>57206833
i just fuck up everyone as hard as I can. This planet is shithole anyway.
>>57206833
Neither, I'd siphon money out of banks and build a botnet to maintain my comfy lifestyle.
Hack banks and live comfy. Selling it won't bring me shit.
I'd crack Microsoft's servers and release all of their source code
>>57207504
>all of their source
>windows becomes open source
>botnet is what holds spaghetti code together
I have discovered that any encryption can be easily broken using a relatively simple algorithm.
However, the character limit of this post is too small to contain it.

>any encryption can be easily broken using a relatively simple algorithm.
But it takes a bajilion years.
>>57207599
kek.
>>57207399
Even with something like an RSA encoded message with a private key? I think I'd at least make that public
>>57206833
I'd make it as public as possible and enjoy the chaos.
>>57207574
for key in range(0, 2^256):
aes_decrypt(file, key)
make a onion site offering to decrypt files
get loads of interesting submissions
publish those that you care for
>>57207178
If they were a fluke I think they would kill the guy and give no shits about international court
>>57207766
I doubt it since it would be extremely obvious. The things that get leaked through wikileaks could be leaked with any other service/through countless news magazines. Assange doesn't have anything of value to his name, other than wikileaks itself.
>>57207840
>could be leaked with any other service/through
Then why aren't they?
Wikileaks also lends a hand in protecting its whistle bowers, unless you're a retard like snowden and make it public for style points.
>>57206833
neither. use it myself to offer a proprietary service.
>>57207872
because wikileaks is convenient and has been proven to protect it's sources (mostly.)
snowden admitted to doing it himself - one might say because he wanted the fame, but I think it's pretty obvious that the nsa would've gotten behind who's the leaker more likely sooner than later
