Andrew: can you bring that one back?
me: oh, also
me: my gf's roommate
me: who's a knowitall coder
me: says MIT can crack any code in an hour
me: and that there is no such thing as encryption that can't be cracked right now
me: is that BS?
me: because the guy also thought Minecraft was an FPS when I tried to show it to him
Andrew: yes
me: that's what I thought
Andrew: that is bullshit
Andrew: but more to the point
me: that guy talks lots of noise
Andrew: its far too general
Andrew: MD5 can be cracked with a good cluster in under an hour
Andrew: but has been known to be deficient for years
Andrew: SHA-2, blowfish et all are all still theoretically open form problems with sufficiently complex passwords
me: the one on your arm
me: for instance
me: what's the deal?
Andrew: there is the possibility the NSA knows shortcuts for some algos, but i would be surprised if they knew somethign drastically faster than current impls
Andrew: the tattoo is the basic mathematical description of a semi-prime factoring key gen, which is the basis for RSA
Andrew: itself susceptible to breakage, but is the groundwork for all public key crypto
me: okay, that's kind of what I figured, that the guy was being really general and not defining his terms, etc
Andrew: yes
Andrew: we can ask the NSA right now
Andrew: HEY NSA, CAN YOU READ THIS LH$K!NRLK!NUOICRNU#)(RU)#@RU)!#(UR)_UM
