I'm curious - if the same thing, with the same approach to encryption would be written in non-English language (Russian, for example, or Hungarian) - would it be ever be cracked?
Seems like many tools/approaches used were english-specific, and unless some lucky guess/hit, they wouldn't be applicable to other languates.
- lastofthemojito 6y agoI think the English-speaking world kind of has a target on its back in terms of cybersecurity because everyone who can use a computer (a slight exaggeration) has some knowledge of English, but not everyone has knowledge of Farsi or Korean or Icelandic or whatever. So if just about any hacker comes across a vulnerability in your English-language system, they'll recognize it. Meanwhile, if I stumbled upon a link that gave me unauthorized access to a Hungarian-language system, I'd have no idea.
