Padding Oracle Attack на Wallet.dat расшифровка пароля для популярного кошелька Bitcoin Core

В этой статье мы воспользуемся классификацией распространенных шаблонов атак из ресурса кибербезопасности [CAPEC™] . В первые об “Padding Oracle Attack” на Wallet.dat заговорили в далеком 2012 году (на платформе по управления уязвимостями и анализа угроз “VulDB” ) . Проблема самого популярного кошелька Bitcoin Core влияет на работу AES Encryption Padding в файле Wallet.dat Технические подробности данной атаки известны: Злоумышленник может эффективно расшифровывать данные, не зная ключа расшифровки, если целевая система сливает данные о том, произошла ли ошибка заполнения при расшифровке зашифрованного текста. Целевая система, которая передает информацию такого типа, становится заполняющим оракулом, и злоумышленник может использовать этот оракул для эффективной расшифровки данных, не зная ключа дешифрования, выдавая в среднем 128*b вызовов заполняющему оракулу (где b — это количество байт в блоке зашифрованного текста). Помимо выполнения расшифровки, злоумышленник также может создавать действительные зашифрованные тексты (т. е. выполнять шифрование) с помощью оракула заполнения, и все это без знания ключа шифрования.

I have a profound dislike for influencers and how they get wined and dined by corporations in exchange for peddling their products and services to impressionable folks.

Sportspeople, however, are the worst. Sure, millions adore them because they can kick a ball or whatever, but this doesn't mean they get to tell people to invest in unregulated goods and currencies.

Today, I am reminded how bad cryptocurrency is for the environment.

I suppose it is just as well. Crypto currency never gained in popularity in the mainstream beyond those who exchanged cryptocurrency.

A little like an Internet stock market if you will, except usually if one or more failed, the only people it impacted were those foolish to buy into it.

If people are interested in decentralized money, we need a better alternative -one that is environmentally friendly

showing that: (1) Mr. Zhao is extremely wealthy; (2) much of his wealth is likely beyond
the reach of U.S. authorities; (3) he resides in, and has favored status in, the United Arab
Emirates, a country which has no extradition treaty with the United States; and (4)
despite his voluntary appearance to enter his plea, there is a significant possibility that he
will choose not to return for sentencing as the prospect of a potential prison sentence draws nearer.

@briankrebs The rubber hose doctrine applies to cryptocurrency more than it does to generic crypto. This is because in liberal democracies thieves are the main attackers, not government.

So the new gold is as much of a problem as the old gold. It must be physically protected (but also protected in the virtual space).

Yuga disputes his claims about what is "proportionate" or not, and disputes that attorneys' fees must be capped based on the monetary remedies.

They also — in so many words — state that the case was so costly thanks to Ripps’ continued obstruction, and that perhaps he should have considered that before behaving so poorly he saddled himself with the bill.

He also points out that the requested fees are almost five times the amount he's been ordered to pay in disgorgement & damages, and claims he does not have the means to pay such a huge sum.

Yuga claims that fees and costs were actually $13.2 million, but that they're only asking for $7.9 million.

Ripps argues this is still "grossly disproportionate", that Yuga made errors in its calculations, and that they charged for avoidable expenditures.

He was also ordered to pay attorneys' fees because of his "obstructive and evasive" behavior and "disgraceful and slanderous statements" about Yuga, its founders, and its counsel.

Finally, Defendants’ conduct during the pendency of this litigation warrants a finding that this
is an exceptional case. Defendants were obstructive and evasive throughout their depositions and
during their trial testimony, which unnecessarily complicated these proceedings. Jackson v.
Gaspar, 2022 WL 2155975 (C.D. Cal. Feb. 24, 2022) (finding an exceptional case from the
“antagonistic discovery conduct” that was “improperly motivated and sought to drag out or
obfuscate proceedings,” such as deposition conduct where the defendant’s “preparation,
recollection and candor appear to have been marginal at best”). In addition, Defendants
unnecessarily and inappropriately made disgraceful and slanderous statements about Yuga, its
founders, and its counsel during litigation, including calling Yuga’s counsel “criminals” who support
“racism, antisemitism, beastiality, pedophilia” and accusing them of “using cartoons to market
drugs to young children.” These statements were egregious and far exceed the bounds of
acceptable conduct. TE-TA-MA Truth Foundation-Family of URI, Inc. v. World Church of the
Creator, 392 F.3d 248, 263-64 (7th Cir. 2004) (finding “no difficulty” holding defendant’s harassing
and racist remarks towards plaintiff and their counsel an exceptional case).
Accordingly, the Court concludes that this is an exceptional case entitling Yuga to its
reasonable attorneys’ fees pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a).

Background: Ripps created the "RR/BAYC" NFT project, which featured exact copies of the Bored Ape NFTs. He claimed this was protected artistic expression; the court disagreed and ordered him to forfeit $1.375 million in profits and pay $200,000 in damages.

Yuga Labs and Ryder Ripps
[W3IGG]

Bored Apes creators Yuga Labs have prevailed in their trademark infringement lawsuit [I25] against artist Ryder Ripps and co-defendant Jeremy Cahen. Ripps will have to pay almost $1.6 million in disgorgement and damages for copying the Bored Ape NFTs, in what he tried to argue was an art project aimed at drawing attention to the racist imagery and allusions used throughout the Bored Apes illustrations.

Because Ripps and Cahen were found by the judge to have been “obstructive and evasive throughout their depositions and during their trial testimony,” and “unnecessarily and inappropriately made disgraceful and slanderous statements about Yuga, its founders, and its counsel during litigation, including calling Yuga’s counsel ‘criminals’ who support ‘racism, antisemitism, beastiality, pedophilia’ and accusing them of ‘using cartoons to market drugs to young children’”, they were also ordered to pay Yuga’s reasonable attorneys’ fees. Yuga and Ripps have been ordered to agree on fees once before — when Ripps was ordered to pay some during an earlier decision, and Yuga argued “reasonable” was $223,000 while Ripps argued it was $26,400 — so we’ll see how well that all goes.

I predicted in my newsletter last week that Yuga Labs (Bored Apes company) and Ryder Ripps (loser of the trademark case) would have trouble agreeing on "reasonable attorneys' fees".

Ripps says ~$455,000 would be reasonable.
Yuga wants ~$7.9 million.

Since Signal is acting as a wire service for a Monero-like #cryptocurrency then it could charge a transaction fee to recoup its expenses.

(Note that I do not endorse the use of this service.)

This is becoming more entertaining than a soapserie. I think we might be witnessing the implosion of the #AI #AGI hype. Just like we have seen with #cryptocurrency, the #metaverse, #blockchain etc. before. Offcourse some tech-optimists will tell us that this time it is different. 🥱

FTX's reliance on its own exchange token, FTT, contributed to its collapse. But cryptocurrency companies still routinely mint their own tokens, a practice that is introducing similar risk throughout the industry.

Some context: A couple of months ago Zeke Faux gave an amusing interview about #CryptoCurrency and #NFT. While doing research for an article, he bought the cheapest #BoredApe he could find for $20,000. He also got invited to a Bored Ape party. At the party he was treated like a peasant because his ape was so cheap.

Ransom messages were reportedly sent out to many BrickLink users’ accounts.
Apparently, hackers are demanding payments in #cryptocurrency in exchange for not deleting store inventories and other items.
BrickLink is yet to release an official statement about the incident, and there is no confirmation that the company has become a target of #cyberattack.
