- w1ntermute 16y agoZuckerberg's probably got an iPhone, and 3G GSM encryption's been cracked: http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/3g-gsm-encryption-cracked-in-less-than-two-hours/ http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/3g-gsm-encryption-cracked...

- redthrowaway 16y agoI'd be interested to see if an optimized implementation of that attack could be run in a convenient timeframe for a cafe-sniffing attack. The article you linked mentioned a 2 hour attack window; something in the sub-15 minute range would be a pressing concern.
- w1ntermute 16y agoOnly something in the sub-15 minute range would be a concern for you or me, but don't forget that this is Zuckerberg - it's not at all impossible that someone followed him around for 2 hours to crack his GSM encryption.
