Ironically they truncated the public part of the DSA keys. The private key is "k".
For bruteforcing the remainder of the AES256 loader key (erk), as proposed by another commenter: There are still 13 hex-digits left (e.g. 52 bits), that might take a while ;-).
- mmastrac 16y agoThe EFF's Deep Crack could do 56-bit keys in a matter of days, and this was a long while ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Crack http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Crack AES256 is more complex than DES, but it's still in the ballpark of "possible".
- burgerbrain 16y agoAES256 is indeed more complex than DES, but it's important to remember that both were designed partially with fast hardware implementations in mind. The difference is not as dramatic as you might initially think. 52 bits of an AES256 key are weeeell within "doable" in 2010.
