    Ok, that makes more sense. That dual symmetric-asymmetric was missing from one of the writeups.

  3. Per file AES on New Crypto-Ransomware Encrypts Video Game Files · · Score: 1

    So how does the whole per-file random AES key work? Since they're only shipping over the one 'key' parameter, the individual file keys have to be somehow deterministic right?

    I'm pretty sure SAE is bad from the top down:

    Sigma Alpha Epsilon has had nine deaths linked to drinking, drugs and hazing since 2006, more than any other Greek organization, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. More than 100 chapters have been disciplined since 2007, with at least fifteen suspended or closed since 2010. [...] As a result of these incidents, student members pay among the highest rates for liability insurance of any fraternity.

    That makes a bit more sense then.

    How the fuck would they notice that? Do they make it a habit to effectively strip search their entire car every time they get in it?

    > The short story is that Maxtor was the first to have a Marketing department take advantage of that, knowing full well most people see MB and assume powers of 2.

    Then most people are stupid. Stop trying to bastardize the SI prefixes for your hard drive edge case, in every other measure Mega is a base 10 power, not base 2.

    It's not normal use that's the issue, it's overuse.

    If it's a natural herb they can't get the patent. If they can't get the patent, they can't get a monopoly. If they can't get a monopoly, they can't make profit.
