Dual Core - "All The Things" [Tech].{Hacking}

The scope isn't if they're crackable (which, if course, they're not, since they're not encrypting anything). The scope is if using UUIDs as filenames in this publicaly accessible db a good way to hide the files. And the answer is: no it is not, because a computer powerful enough can guess all possibilities in a matter of minutes, and query them all against the db to discover all files stored within.
You should read into the NSA's Translator. Granted, it's relatively outdated with shifting text algorithms, but for a very long time (about half a century), it was able to bruteforce any key, regardless of length, in under an hour.
It's not, though. And thinking that it is impossible is why DES, for example, was "translatable" by the NSA for decades. Never assume something is impossible just because it's difficult.
This was an interesting read, though is also an advert for their services. Regardless, enjoyed the details.
I cannot. But the bruteforce is a mathematical guarantee.
It taking a long time doesn't make it an impossibility. The fact that it has a limit of 122 bits, in and of itself, makes the possibility of a bruteforce a mathematical guarantee.
As long as you're not rate limited, you absolutely could.
Wow. It actually identified something?
Logitech Performance MX. I've had for years. Still my favorite mouse.

Image finally uploaded. Sorry about that.

I found my old iphone 3g, and want to use it as an mp3 player for my niece. However, I can't, for the life of me, remember the pin I set for the restrictions, and I can't reset it without that. Is there any way to reset it without that pin? I already got everything I wanted to keep off of it, so I'm fine if everything gets deleted. Like I said, I want to give it to be niece as an mp3 player, but want it reset first.

OnlyOffice every single time I flip between it and another app
(lemmynsfw.com)
If I'm writing a paper or story or whatnot, I do not want to stop to update the app right now, and asking me every flippin time I go from the research sources to OnlyOffice only makes me want to pull all my support from your nagging shite software. 'Next Time' needs to wait until the next day, not for the next time the app comes to focus. Flippin wankers.

I did the cutout
(infosec.pub)
Someone posted a printable cutout of the Moomin House, so I resized it, and had a fun time putting it together.
I cut out the under-stairs door and placed the magic tophat in there.
If there are no objections, I can post the resized version here. Mods, just let me know if that's ok to do.

The Translator was the nickname given to, what essentially was, the NSA supercomputer that could solve any (non-shift text) encryption by bruteforcing the key in under an hour (most of the time, in about 15 minutes). I mentioned DES, because it was an encryption so old that nearly everyone has heard about it, and one that I know was used on The Translator. And you're right, DES was capped at 56 bit keys, because they could crack it without The Translator, if needed.
But the scope isn’t if the UUIDs are crackable (which, of course, they’re not, since they’re not encrypting anything). The scope is if using UUIDs as filenames in this publically accessible db a good way to hide the files. And the answer is: no it is not a good way, because a computer powerful enough can guess all possibilities in a matter of minutes, and query them all against the db to discover all files stored within.
