The thought began, as many good things begin, in #trilema. Users of the WOT, of V, and other systems where your cryptographic identity is wholly in your own hands1 live with a certain risk of “cryptographic death” – i.e. the compromise of one’s signing key. A conscientious user of public key crypto might keep the […]

Phuctored SSH Public Keys to date. Keys were obtained from a scan of the complete IPv4 space. We have gone approximately 20% of the way through the data set at the time of this writing. Click on the IP addresses to view a key in Phuctor, or on the SSH hello string to view pertinent […]

Phuctor – rewritten and revved up on new hardware in April – is presently eating SSH RSA keys from a scan of the complete IPv4 space. And, on occasion, breaking some. And generating other laughs as well. In today’s server logs: 134.223.116.158 – – [22/Jul/2016:15:54:57 +0000] “GET /gpgkey/50840391E5677882196999C9AE77F3177E6CBF8D35FB4F1FEF848CFADF9088B1 HTTP/1.1” 200 3425 “http://134.223.116.149:15871/cgi-bin/blockpage.cgi?ws-session=2010817170 ” What’s that? A […]

Phuctor is back! Now using Bernstein’s Algorithm (D. J. Bernstein. How to find smooth parts of integers.) The entire set is pairwise-GCD’d hourly.

Once upon a time (in August of ’15, to be exact) I wrote a very simple versionatron called ‘V’. Edit: See also Ben Vulpes’s excellent introduction to V. V is a carefully-designed poison against the scurrying little vermin who feed on the proverbial ‘fear, uncertainty, and doubt.’ For readers who are not in the little […]

(8/16 Update: 113 moduli.) Phuctor has been under lightweight but rather reliable DDOS in recent times, so here is a mirror of the list of 106 moduli broken up through the time of this writing. Certain professional idiots have been bashing their heads against the wall in a futile effort to magic away the past. […]

(5/20 Update: This.) (5/18 Update: Tired of the contemptible media disinformation and faux-reporting on this subject? For some fresh air, see Mircea’s article, ‘On how the factored 4096 RSA keys story was handled, and what it means to you.’) Phuctor, “The RSA Supercollider,” is a long-term collaborative project of yours truly and Mircea Popescu. I am […]

I had the honour of being invited to Trilema 2014 in Timișoara – where I exhibited a few completed gadgets. More pictures at Mr. P’s site.
