    Server doesn't seem to be back yet. You can still get source here . Possibly more info later today here (in French).

  3. Re:Pssssst: GnuPG on Attacking WinZip AES Encryption · · Score: 1

    Better just use GPG since it compress files too (by default it will use the same compression algorithm than Winzip). If you want to encrypt several files, use tar ( availiable for Windows too) before.

  4. Re:Simple on Attacking WinZip AES Encryption · · Score: 1
    PGP/GPG uses compression for security purposes (remove as much entropy as possible) but IIRC it doesn't archive; i.e. include multiple files (and a directory structure) in one file.
    That's what tar is for.
    tar -c $FILES | gpg -s -e -r $RECIPIENT > compressed-and-encrypted-files.asc
    Send that through netcat and you got a somewhat secure way of sending files to anybody who can configure his firewall. Who use Winzip anyway ?
  5. Re:Simple on Attacking WinZip AES Encryption · · Score: 3, Informative

    GPG (and PGP) already compress the encrypted data. It seems PGP only use the .zip format but GPG also support bzip2 and gzip. Look at the -z and --compress-algo options of GPG.

    Don't you think it's the opposit ? There are "no" game for OSX or Linux because of the monopoly.

    $125 million + I wouldn't need to ask Google every time I would run into those weird unities like "lbs", "inches", "feet" and such.

    "On XAML [a new markup language for building graphical user interfaces in Longhorn], if you look at the platform, it allows you to do completely new things that are not possible in any platform today. Why aren't we talking about making use of that platform technology in Mozilla?" Scoble told internetnews.com.

    And XUL is not Mozilla-specific but AFAIK its currently the only Free implementation.

    Yes, I found this comment only after I posted mine.

    Thanks for all these explanations, may be you could write that on your websites too (.kkrieger's page is rather empty).
    Is there any plan to release the source of .fr-08 and/or .kkrieger ? If you want it to be more portable may be you could try to use SDL and OpenGL. It runs on Windows too, so no need to install Linux if you release the source: someone else could easily port it (and not only to Linux).

    There is no texture in that file, only code to generate it. This was done before.

    ISP could as well sniff traffic to find the "secret" knocking sequence. All they have to do is record the traffic and when they find some typical FTP traffic (on any port), they would just have to look at what was going between the two hosts before the FTP session started.

    I think it's not hard to write a simple wrapper around any SSH, FTP,... client. A simple shell script using netcat should do it.
