mircea_popescu: "Google wasn't just going to ship the devices to us bloggers and figure things out for ourselves."
mircea_popescu: not a customer dude. review copies aren't it.
jcpham: no that's what they did
jcpham: they shipped a half finished procut
jcpham: *product
jcpham: updates through play store obv
pankkake: oh, you mean like retail

jcpham: android 4 is bare and everything through play
mircea_popescu: jurov we talking the bet or the product ?
jurov: about the product
mircea_popescu: we don't advertise a product that isn't yet orderable, no.
jcpham: thev'ye changed their "final product" in recent years
mircea_popescu: this would be part of being fucking sane in the head.
ThickAsThieves: making pics hold on
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves did you actually buy the thing ?
jurov: hm, should have considered it before placing he bet
ThickAsThieves: I ordered mine and they came i 1 day, was also able to order accessories and choose color
mircea_popescu: a splendid then. make it good.
jcpham: it's legit afaik
jcpham: they delivered the product and opened it up to more than just devs

mircea_popescu: i wonder which happens first : glass at 6k dpi or neural interfacing
asciilifeform: 6k 'glass' already happened, in the '90s. it just isn't priced for humans.
mircea_popescu: neural intefacing also already happened in that sense
mircea_popescu: for that matter, cellphones happened in the 60s
asciilifeform: afaik state of the art neural is 'brain joystick' for wheelchair

nubbins`: front camera tracks eye movement
asciilifeform: the real 'magic' in modern cell phone isn't the miniature handset, but the phased array antennae on the stations.

nubbins`: see what the manager says
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform lol that's what i thought too, when i first heard of it.
asciilifeform: hid isn't even the end of the story. you could probably slurp a bit of key via diff. power analysis if you attach.
mircea_popescu: clearly our reading is inadequate for the needs of contemporaneous english speakers.
asciilifeform: 'didn't your mother teach you not to hook strangers to your DC supply rail?'

benkay: it's like trading wallets

Bugpowder: Coinbase got a $25M Series B
benkay: on the topic of greater fool theory, the fundamental principle underlying these physical coins and the entire fartup circuit
TomServo: ozbot: what gives?
nubbins`: dexX7: seems like a roundabout way of laundering. why not just send the raw btc? :P
dexX7: because there is no direct link between the coins
dexX7: btct for example was an awesome way to launder coins
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder yeah it was here earlier.
Bugpowder: nice
Bugpowder: anyone know the valuation?
dexX7: same here.. insert coin A, get unrealted coin B out
dexX7: (besides the paper and shipping docs)
mircea_popescu: benkay honestly, it was a reasonably nice way to get people introduced to btc, back in 2011.
benkay: i suppose, at the cost of perpetuating idiot opsec.
mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone took it for more than that. caldwell was making a few cents here and there with it, but not worth his time
benkay: had to reprimand someone giving out printed wallets at a local btc event.

Bugpowder: Nice Cayanne turbo
nubbins`: lel @ mp
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder that's misrepresenting the thing. he'd have made 10 simply selling a pizza.
mircea_popescu: 8k simply reflects the fact that for most of the coin's life, the metal was worth more than the key.
nubbins`: ah, i suspect mike kept most of his profits in btc
nubbins`: minus living expenses, not sure if he held a day job
mircea_popescu: nubbins` the guy was a millionaire before btc.
nubbins`: ah yeah?
Bugpowder: But he was still making about 10% BTC profit on his sales up till he shut down.
nubbins`: well in that case he probably kept every satoshi, less minting costs
Bugpowder: its a lot easier to sell $80M worth of BTC than 80M worth of pizza from your house.

Bugpowder: I've got a roll of 50 in a safe deposit box.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anal insertion is the only thing that comes to mind.
thestringpuller: he had double/triple audits when printing private keys

asciilifeform: 'fully auditable software.' -- where?
asciilifeform: For the love of God, Montrezor!
asciilifeform: anybody else making 'wallet machines' ?
asciilifeform: or just these jokers
asciilifeform: https://github.com/trezor contains no source for the embedded micro, as far as i can see.
jurov: NSA published anything to github yet?
asciilifeform: jurov: will publish, with excruciatingly pedantic detail - when widget is sold.
asciilifeform: why would you even care to read it now
asciilifeform: how do the 'trezor' folks even get away with shipping the damn thing internationally without publishing source?
jurov: trezor isn't sold yet either
asciilifeform: afaik nobody cancelled the ancient law forbidding crypto export
jurov: ask slush
dub: probably fairly easy to ensure they dont
asciilifeform: but there's a bush-era loophole for published source
dub: anon call to whatever us customers gestapo is relevant

jurov: at least in summer if not sooner
asciilifeform: interesting how they toured conventions, etc. for ages with no widget.
jurov: prolly they don't have mircea to show the The Right Way
jurov: *them
asciilifeform: i grew up reading about inventors, hucksters, etc. and i always thought it was obvious that you need a prototype to really wake people up
thestringpuller: unless the prototype blows up and kills everyone
jurov: they needed funding
thestringpuller: doesn't anyone remember dr. octavius?

asciilifeform: 'trezor' appears to use a cheapo consumer ARM

jurov: they sold preorders for 1 and 3 BTC each, end price is supposed to be $100
jurov: it has a display, too
assbot: 123!
asciilifeform: fairly straightforward 2-layer pcb
jurov: so what. do undercut them if you want
asciilifeform: looks like there are exactly three active components in there
asciilifeform: not counting display.

nubbins`: However, despicable human scum Jang, who was worse than a dog, perpetrated thrice-cursed acts of treachery
mircea_popescu: this sounds like chinese/korean reeducation stuff
mircea_popescu: o nm. it is.

mikaeldice: There's an ip address encoded into a transaction, right? Maybe I can have the machine sign a message or something
nubbins`: eh...

mikaeldice: I want to make a bet on the strength of the security software being used on the computer, that given the root password and an unencrypted wallet, that still nobody could steal the wallet
nubbins`: well, when you say a specific machine
truffles: bitcoin hunter
nubbins`: how are you planning to identify the machine?
nubbins`: by the os install? the hard drive? the mobo? etc
nubbins`: all can fail and be replaced
ozbot: Loper OS ยป Dukedom for Sale.
mikaeldice: hostname/IP.. I'd probably use linux on EC2, then have the machine run a little program that interfaces with bitcoind and gives out the password whenever someone gives it a bitcoin
KRS|Gotchawallet: EC2 is great
KRS|Gotchawallet: you can probably get it for free even
mikaeldice: Then they can login and try breaking past the rest of the security. Or they can skip the fee and break it without root's password
mikaeldice: But I need a provable way to show that the wallet is on that machine that they're given access to, or people will yell scam
mikaeldice: Each time someone buys the root login, the bitcoin would be added to the wallet for a total pot.. I'd keep it after a month if nobody could break the security
mikaeldice: Or maybe I'd just let it ride forever
truffles: which ppl will yell scam
mikaeldice: People who can't get the wallet, people who think that giving away root access is too permissive and that it's impossible to block root
mikaeldice: Maybe I'd throw something up on bitbet too.. that would be fun to watch
mike_c: you know, i tried urbit and asked for destroyers. never got an answer.
truffles: cant tell if ure trying to fix or exploit :D
mikaeldice: lol, truffles. It'd be a test of sorts, to prove the security software out. If it can hold up to an open invitation to the bitcoin community to try to break it, then I'd say it's relatively secure
Apocalyptic: mikaeldice, would the wallet be encrypted ?
Apocalyptic: that's a good starting point, otherwise it doesn't make sense
Apocalyptic: so you provide us with root access to a machine containing a wallet.dat file with the actual (pubkey,privkey) to an address holding coins
mikaeldice: Unencrypted, open SSH port, and optionally pay for a valid root login. The payment gets added to the same wallet hosted on the server
mikaeldice: But I need a way to prove that the wallet is there
Apocalyptic: any hardware firewall ?
mikaeldice: EC2's security groupings on ports other than 80 and 22
Apocalyptic: software firewall ?
mikaeldice: Nah, I could disable iptables
mikaeldice: I'd even make a little webapp that interacts with bitcoind so there's another vector for attack
Apocalyptic: "try breaking past the rest of the security" // i guess figuring this out is a part of the challenge
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 6958 @ 0.00090229 = 6.2781 BTC [-]
mikaeldice: Yep, but I'll give you a hint, it involves kernel level protection
Apocalyptic: so you built a custom kernel ?
kakobrekla: something unhackable this week does not mean unhackable
Apocalyptic: indeed kako
mikaeldice: Nope, it'll use a standard linux kernel.. probably a major service pack version of either centos or ubuntu
mikaeldice: kakobrekla, I'd leave it up for a month or so, maybe longer. A minimum of a month
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 10250 @ 0.00089889 = 9.2136 BTC [-]
Apocalyptic: cause if you disable file access by inode to this wallet.dat file on the kernel level, there's no much we can or anyone do
mikaeldice: There will be conditional access allowed, or the webapp won't work
Apocalyptic: obviously
mikaeldice: But yeah, it would be kernel level protection of that sort, Apocalyptic
Apocalyptic: you will have a couple of challengers then :)
Apocalyptic: btc initial pot ?
mikaeldice: I'm not sure.. probably 1 BTC to start with, plus whatever challengers throw in
kakobrekla: you need liek 100 btc to get any srs traction
nubbins`: or offer like 1000 free tries
Apocalyptic: what about to say it's kinda low to be worth serious people's time
mikaeldice: I don't have that to throw around. But I could probably start a bitbet for spectators who don't have access.
mikaeldice: Well, there are unlimited free tries if you want to break SSH login as well
mikaeldice: or break the webapp
Apocalyptic: but 100 is maybe a bit much
kakobrekla: i doubt it would get approved cause you can play it
Apocalyptic: I say 10 BTC is decent
mikaeldice: I'd be keeping a keylogger record of everything so I can see how it's broken if it is broken. Maybe I could throw that up on the webapp for spectators
Apocalyptic: only at the end then
Apocalyptic: or others might pick up ideas/current progressions of competitors
mikaeldice: hmm, true
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [CFIG] 1 @ 0.10319999 BTC [+]
mikaeldice: But to go back to the original problem, I need a way to prove that the wallet is there to begin with
mikaeldice: Maybe the webapp can sign a message every hour or something, but I don't know if that'll include the IP address where the message was signed
Apocalyptic: well mikaeldice, the bad news is the first broadcast IP can be easily spoofed
Apocalyptic: I think you don't really have a way to proove it's their
Apocalyptic: *there
mikaeldice: Maybe I could have the initial 1 BTC held in escrow, to be given to someone who can force the webapp to display their own bitcoin address
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 9348 @ 0.00089785 = 8.3931 BTC [-] {2}
mikaeldice: and if they can do that, they can grab the whole pot. Or the whole pot could be held in escrow
Apocalyptic: but why couple this with a running bitcoind on the server then ?
Apocalyptic: it's not the actual challenge, is it ? you're trying to prove you security system
mikaeldice: I dunno, the excitement of it. I want to show that a hot wallet can be secured
Apocalyptic: just create a file with a randomhash and secure that
Apocalyptic: the one with the knownledge of the hash can claim the btc price
Apocalyptic: it's the hotwallet problem reduced to a more convenient layout
mikaeldice: true, but it lacks a certain panache.. I'd like to see a hot wallet sitting on a server with open root access for a month unmolested
Apocalyptic: it's the same thing
mikaeldice: Effectively, yeah
Apocalyptic: with a different perception perhaps
Apocalyptic: if you really want to do this bitcoind-hotwallet related
Apocalyptic: hum by the
Apocalyptic: *way, is your security system preventing/monitoring the access to wallet.dat only ?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3882 @ 0.0008951 = 3.4748 BTC [-]
mikaeldice: No, it would protect other things, like disabling program execution of setuid programs that have been modified, and access to the administrative program to the security software
Apocalyptic: in fact I was incorrect, it's not really an equivalent problem
Apocalyptic: in the sense that with bitcoind you have another attack vector to get the privatekey
Apocalyptic: they are loaded in memory at the start I believe, so if one could dump the memspace of bitcoind you have it
asciilifeform: please bring it on. 10 btc of prize is reasonable.
nubbins`: urbit, i dunno
mikaeldice: I'd go to 10 if my company would sponsor it, but I doubt they would
mikaeldice: I can throw in 1 myself, plus whatever competitors add
asciilifeform: what are the conditions? do we get unprivileged shell access?
mikaeldice: standard root access, but under restrictions from the security software
asciilifeform: ok let's play!
mikaeldice: root for 1 BTC, or if you want to break into SSH then you can get it for free
asciilifeform: it'll be mostly a footrace though
iwilcox: brendio: Scamming on -assets?
iwilcox: Good luck.
mikaeldice: Not a scam.. when I do actually post the competition it'll be on the forums, and with an escrow for the BTC
Apocalyptic: <asciilifeform> it'll be mostly a footrace though // don't be so sure :)
mikaeldice: I came here to try to find the best way to prove it's not a scam, the best I could come up with is escrow
mikaeldice: I'm open to suggestions
Apocalyptic: mikaeldice, so did you count on that ?
asciilifeform: also does 'root' mean something peculiar on your machine?
Apocalyptic: memdump protection
asciilifeform: so the first-comer reads back your disk blockwise
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, i assume it's the standard uid=0 access
mikaeldice: I hadn't, but it'll be taken into account now :D
mikaeldice: It'll be root with uid=0, but with kernel level protection in place restricting it's access
mikaeldice: The job of the contest is to bypass that protection
asciilifeform: if i can't execute arbitrary ring0 instructions, i'm not root
asciilifeform: and we're then playing with words
asciilifeform: but if i can, i win.
asciilifeform: or, probably not me, but the first fellow who plays
mikaeldice: I'll leave your hint to this.. somewhere on the system will be an administrative user who can access the security software to disable these protections; the system won't allow you to remove the last security administrator

asciilifeform: can i execute arbitrary ring0 cpu instructions or not?
asciilifeform: that's what 'root' means on planet earth.
mikaeldice: arbitrary? No, or it wouldn't be protected
asciilifeform: then it's a lie
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [COG] 4 @ 0.04002513 = 0.1601 BTC [-] {3}
asciilifeform: and i'm not root.
asciilifeform: just an unprivileged account labeled 'root'
mikaeldice: In that case, there would be effectively no user who is root
asciilifeform: if you want a privilege escalation 0day out of me (or the next guy) it's gonna cost you more than 10btc.
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, you have one ?
asciilifeform: no comment
Apocalyptic: thought so
asciilifeform: Apocalyptic: why? you'd care to share yours here?
Apocalyptic: not really
Apocalyptic: was just interested if you were into this kind of thing
Apocalyptic: not asking you to disclose anything

asciilifeform: i do it for a living.
asciilifeform: it isn't exciting or glorious.
Apocalyptic: i know some guys working @Vupen
Apocalyptic: yeah, it depends
Apocalyptic: i heard it's kinda badly paid, for what it is
asciilifeform: it's badly paid if you sell exploits as such
asciilifeform: (not to mention the counterparty risk!)
Apocalyptic: depends who you sell to / where i guess
Apocalyptic: russian blackmarket or gov isn't the same rate
asciilifeform: counterparty risk is about the same in either case.
copumpkin: brendio: hey
brendio: whats up you fucking faggot?
brendio: what you want?
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, what do you mean in this specific case by CP risk ?
Apocalyptic: copumpkin, it's a squatter
copumpkin: I figured
asciilifeform: as in, they club you over the head and take the goods instead of paying
copumpkin: the real one wouldn't call me that
asciilifeform: or, if you deliver prior to payment, simply abscond.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 4008 @ 0.0008951 = 3.5876 BTC [-]
Apocalyptic: i somehow assumed in this case of business they pay prior to delivery
asciilifeform: then the risk is on the buyer. you could easily sell the 'whore's virginity' many times.
asciilifeform: afaik this is actually the norm in '0day markets'
Apocalyptic: if you're a well known corp like Vupen there's no much risk for the buyer
asciilifeform: but i'm not vupen. and, afaik, you are also not vupen.
Apocalyptic: indeed
asciilifeform: nor do i particularly wish to be vupen.
Apocalyptic: why so ?
asciilifeform: because i'm me.
asciilifeform: don't need to be someone else.
Apocalyptic: i'm sure you are you, how is that revelant to why you're not wishing to work @vupen eludes me
