He had to shut it down - but as far as I remember, they got the SSL key anyway. None can tell me that providing it in a font size of 4pt would have stopped them. I think that typing 2560 chars is not that hard.

Well, 14.04 is still showing 5.5.9 built Oct 29 2014. Am I am wrong to assume that the newest fixes (CVE-2014-8142) are not in there yet?

So many "diplomats' certs" are used in machines by Crypto AG from Switzerland. And guess what, they had one major incident years ago - and even people working there have simply no clue who owns and control the company. I'

Can't you see the pattern? Take all, break the crypto later. PFS might be next, who knows. Yes, for now OTR and PGP is fine. There must be a big speculation on future breakthroughs regarding breaking crypto - otherwise they wouldn'

Also, most docs are from 2012. Who knows what happened since then. There is a reason, they have an army of mathematicians at hand. I look forward to the day when they walk away from their jobs.

When will you guys all wake up? GCHQ does the full take on the cables, and there is no document yet, that claims NSA doesn't. So, all your sessions are hosed at some point in time. Either now or in the future. And yes, sensationalize i

It has. 4 out of 4 network operators in Germany closed (some of) the gapping holes already. One brave network engineer even came forward to complete that list (2/4 -> 4/4) after the talk of Karsten Nohl.

I have no proof obviously, but I somehow think that those 3000 new GCE instances have not been registered according to the TOS of Google, most importantly in regard to real name and accountability policies.

A grace period for the case that you forget to manually update the canary. Say you forget it, but after x amount of days you (or someone else) notice, then you update and continue. That grace period needs to be well defined, announced and p

We're back on page one. This is exactly what some of us have said hours ago already and others have been doing: they watched the canary "die" (in terms of the mining analogy).
