Apple AirPlay Private Key Exposed
An anonymous reader writes "James Laird has reverse engineered the Airport Express private key and published an open source AirPort Express emulator. 'My girlfriend moved house, and her Airport Express no longer made it with her wireless access point. I figured it'd be easy to find an ApEx emulator — there are several open source apps out there to play to them. However, I was disappointed to find that Apple used a public-key crypto scheme, and there's a private key hiding inside the ApEx. So I took it apart (I still have scars from opening the glued case!), dumped the ROM, and reverse engineered the keys out of it.'"
If you extract the ROM out of an Apple device, is that a core dump?

Let's see someone add airplay support to the ps3. See how many companies can get pissed off at once. If you play it right, they could be goaded into fighting each other. Fingers crossed! Maybe these companies will finally deliver something entertaining to watch :)
No one time pad. Less space than a TrueCrypt container. Lame.

We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
Thanks for that. One thing about getting older is that your memory doesn't dish up all the bits you need on time. So you end up having conversations like this:
Me: Hahaha!
Wife: What's so funny?
Me: Look what this guy wrote: 'That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!' Haha!
Wife: Why is that funny?
Me [frowning]: I don't know.
