<n​eosavage:matrix.org> New York Times discussed an encryption standard that was engineered by NSA with a fatal weakness, and which was recommended as a secure protocol by both NIST and ISO in 2006. That protocol was SHA.

<n​eosavage:matrix.org> Cryptographers have long suspected that the agency planted vulnerabilities in a standard adopted in 2006 by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and later by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which has 163 countries as members.

<n​eosavage:matrix.org> Classified N.S.A. memos appear to confirm that the fatal weakness*, discovered by two Microsoft cryptographers in 2007, was* engineered by the agency*. The N.S.A. wrote the standard and aggressively pushed it on the international group, privately calling the effort “a challenge in finesse.”*

<n​eosavage:matrix.org> “Eventually, N.S.A. became the sole editor*,” the memo says.*

<n​eosavage:matrix.org> Bitcoin community claims its the most secured PRNG and its impossible to guess a private key. They often give examples such that guessing a private key (2256 = 1.158 * 1077 ) is like picking an atom from universe. The probability of which is 1/1077.

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> Hi 👋 , where are the best places to start getting involved in monero.

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Here

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> Yes.

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> Well if you haven't heard. Someone in your community was a fed and failed at infiltrating. That's the best advertising besides some one losing their teeth to communism and monero giving their teeth back.

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> You heard of the obsidian intel scandal with killabit. That's the story I'm referring to. His killers are still on the loose tho.

<n​eosavage:matrix.org> where can I find more info about it?

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> I'll share. I don't trust the govt after what came out about him. Makes monero the only currency worth using imo

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> Brb. Told my mom about the introduction to the monero community and were laughing our asses off. Can't make this crazy shyt up. Also pizza 🍕.

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> They're making a documentary on it. Insane. But genuinely here because this dude was spying on everyone.

It's aliens

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…matrix.org/jAwsIdnRyYxWpNBQNAriWYAF

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> Okay will brb. But wanna learn how I can help monero never become a captured thing.

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> x.com/killabit/status/1663401452247867392?s=20

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> Great article

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> Srsly, any top tier monero books or resources to get me started here.

<0​xfffc:matrix.org> web.getmonero.org/library/Zero-to-Monero-2-0-0.pdf

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> Ty 🧡

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> Fk it downloaded on my phone. I need to be more careful.

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> I have purpose again in life. This killabit thing. I've had attempts on my life. If all crypto became a toothless tiger except monero. It means I'll lose all hope if monero fails

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> Almost got poisioned in public because us govt piece of shit killabit. His wife was poisoned before they got him to take the poison. This is insane. Im saying dedicating my time to this community could make up for the failed promises of ETH and BTC. Kinda learned that those claiming to be the good guys are rarely the good guys

<c​ryptomaven:matrix.org> Well it's sad the crypto OGs in that community became lazy sell outs.

<p​reland:matrix.org> hey that’s me

<m​rcyjanek0:matrix.org> plowsof: you mean **the** zzz?

<m​rcyjanek0:matrix.org> I remember his forum on i2p, thought that he disappeared from the projects all together.

<p​reland:matrix.org> I thought so too; seems like he’s back

<p​reland:matrix.org> The alternative would be that someone somehow took over everything in his possession, from the eepsites to his twitter

<e​scapethe3ra:matrix.org> draft not yet submitted, right? (libera.monerologs.net/monero-dev/20240317#c348704); or is it on zzz.i2p?

<e​scapethe3ra:matrix.org> I can link to that or wait^
