Dimenticata la passphrase di 7.002 Bitcoin

235 milioni in Bitcoin intrappolati in una chiavetta USB, il proprietario rifiuta l'aiuto degli hacker. La strana storia dell'imprenditore che non vuole recuperare le chiavi del suo portafoglio da 235 milioni di dollari in Bitcoin. Un team di hacker crede di poter sbloccare la chiavetta, ma il proprietario rifiuta. La storia di Stefan Thomas, imprenditore svizzero residente a San Francisco, ha dell'incredibile. Nel 2011 ricevette 7.002 Bitcoin (circa 235 milioni di dollari ai valori attuali) come pagamento per aver realizzato un video divulgativo sulla criptovaluta, ma negli anni successivi perse la password per accedere al portafoglio contenente questa incredibile fortuna. Thomas ha conservato le chiavi di accesso su un'unità USB crittografata IronKey S200, un dispositivo sicuro progettato per cancellare definitivamente il contenuto dopo 10 tentativi di accesso falliti. Dopo aver perso il foglio con la passphrase corretta, Thomas proverà per anni a ricordarla, senza successo. Ora gli rimangono solo due possibilità prima che il portafoglio e il suo contenuto vadano persi per sempre. Quando hai 7.000 Bitcoin ma non puoi usarli La vicenda è nota da tempo nella comunità crittografica e negli anni diversi hacker hanno tentato di "scassinare" il wallet, finora invano. Ma un team di esperti della startup Unciphered ritiene ora di aver trovato il modo di violare la sicurezza dell'IronKey, come dimostrato in test con un dispositivo identico. Il loro metodo consentirebbe un numero illimitato di tentativi per indovinare la passphrase.

Tuttavia, dopo aver contattato Thomas, si sono visti opporre un rifiuto. L'imprenditore un anno fa aveva stretto un patto con altri due team, dividendo con loro l'eventuale bottino in caso di successo. E intende mantenere l'impegno, dando ancora tempo a quei gruppi prima di accordarsi con altri. La decisione lascia gli hacker di Unciphered in una posizione paradossale: possedere forse la chiave per aprire uno dei "forzieri" di criptovaluta più ghiotti al mondo, ma non hanno alcun lucchetto su cui provarla. Sbloccare il mistero dell'IronKey e dei milioni perduti si sta rivelando più difficile del previsto. La vicenda evidenzia i rischi legati alla conservazione sicura delle chiavi d'accesso ai portafogli di criptovalute, un problema che coinvolge complessivamente portafogli dimenticati per 140 miliardi di dollari. Al tempo stesso, solleva interrogativi etici sull'opportunità di forzare crittografie protette per recuperare fondi altrui, seppur inattivi da tempo. Read the full article

Chiropterrific!

Did you know that many caves were damaged during the 1800s from over-mining of bat guano?

Bat guano is an extremely valued resource for the components within it. It contains high amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and contains living microbes, which makes it an excellent fertilizer.

It also contains saltpeter, which is the main ingredient in gunpowder.

Because of this, during the Civil War, extravagant amounts of the substance were being mined from caves to the point where restrictions were soon placed on the harvesting of guano, as it was harshly affecting the chiroptera populations and the caves themselves. Both the Union and the Confederacy utilized bat guano during the war.

you can literally have a conversation with someone and tell them explicitly if this happens, then these are the consequences. and then they'll still try to argue when the consequences happen as a direct result of their actions.

I'm grieving on behalf of my babygirl Gwyn, who unless I rewrite her involvement in the airport sequence entirely (not happening because I'm really happy with my base outline for it and was in the process of getting her tf out of there) will now have to watch the man she loves die right in front of her face.

When she can't help because her ability is broken and she is severely wounded.

Oh Gwyn baby, you're gonna SUFFER.

angels in helkhalot/merkhava literature are so funny. Rabbis show up in the treasure houses of the divine and they're like "How the fuck did you get in here. Why haven't you been smited."

And then the rabbi gives the correct passphrase in the proper Hebrew (which angels must comply with) and the angels are just like "you mother fucker" and open the gate

alright let's go over this one more time. I know you wanna be whimsical, but you gotta understand it takes time. effort. preparation. if you're gonna be whimsical with the rest of us, i need you to have the following things picked out in advance.

A time traveller passphrase, to help people skip the annoying part of convincing you they're in a timeloop.

A riddle to win a riddle contest with any sort of trickster-type being, such as a fox, demon at a crossroads, or wisened sage; preferably with multiple correct answers so you can switch to a different one if they guess the right one.

A mediocre impression you can pull off with 100% unearned confidence in order to derail a party

A bad bit character everyone but you hates - with preferably something on the tier of "Good Fishburps" or "DJ Rusty Pipe Noises" or "Feminist Film Critic Falco Lombardi."

weirdly strong opinions on the best way to play uno.

Got it? keep that up and you'll be a manic pixie dream girl with the rest of us. now get back to class. and don't let me catch you without joie de vivre again.

for college i frequently have to use "lockout" anti-cheat software like respondus lockdown that totally seizes control of my computer (which is bullshit, but i digress) and i've adopted the three word password method to deal with it with the relevant accounts i have to use with that type of software. i struggle with adhd so this has been the most efficient method for me because i can remember "blast fish motorcycle" with some numbers or characters tossed in versus a long 20+ jumbled string of characters i would NEED a post-it note or a password manager for.

one of my professors suggested the three word method WRT linux command line work with expediently logging in and managing a server while having a modicum of security that isn't just "name1234", with the idea that if we're setting up a machine or can't access the internet while we're working, it's not an inaccessible disaster.

in the event of situations like this what's your recommendation? if this is an annoying ask i'm sorry btw, i'm trying not to throw a curveball at you.

There are good reasons sometimes to use a passphrase rather than a complex password and you've given a couple good examples, though I would say for the server example especially you shouldn't be doing "correct horse battery staple" or "blast fish motorcycle", you should be doing "fulminate igneous dodecahedron" (words that are not in any lists of those most commonly used in the English language) AND you should be having a randomizer select the words - aaaand even then I'm more likely to do something like the " Atss"twotpawotsw64 " lyric initialism example. I've got one of those for my password manager for work and it's really automatic to type now while still being long and complex.
