Wikileaks Decryption General Thread

This is a thread about finding the private key to the WIkileaks insurance backup files, so they can be released early.

The main thing we need to do is build a dictionary or wordlist and rules that Assange would have chosen. Number of characters, spacing, phrases anything except guess.

I have started decryping them and will be finished in approx 2.6^80 years.

Supposedly, WIkileaks has deleted the files, but they still possibly exist as torrents:

Mother of god....lets do this

Every time this comes up, bots/shills/censorship/etc seem to uptick noticeably.
The pool of holders must grow

Would it be possible to brute force AES with enough computational power?

Bump

With qauntum computing, yes. With computers as they are now, it would take billions of years (assuming passphrase was sufficient).

brute forcing AES is likely unnecessary
2 theories I have seen which seem to hold up:
>key is hidden in blockchain
>key can be revealed via dictionary attack and is something like vault7 key

anyone have access to a quantum computer at a university or something like that?

nobody will v& me as i'm not trying to do anything wrong and not quite sure what i'm doing.

i made a sha256 hash with a 4 character password and no HMAC and am trying to crack it now with hashcat, you can guess what it is or do it in 0.4 seconds

Took a break from the chan and the internet for a while, so can someone please explain to me as to wtf is going on? I'm really intrigued curious as to what's happening. Also bump

Pleb. How sad. Enjoy your slow file browsing, plethora of errors, failed driver installs, etc..

>lets crack wikileaks
>on compromised forum

Hi CIA.

the insurance files were released a long time ago, nobody knows the password to them. Vault7 was released , the second time only we have seen the paswords they use. The hope is we can somehow guess it .

For instance by using phrases or words Assange would have used and have had to memorise. It's highly unlikely we will ever guess it but for isntance feeding a password cracker the entire gutenberg library and guessing the password is say 40-60 characters long and removing the spaces and adding a couple of characters like ? and # at the end we might do so.

So this encryption software that they use (AES256?) is something that we will never crack and we're down to guesswork? Great, and what are said insurance files? What's their significance?

Sup Forums has shown its ability to track down a fucking FLAGPOLE by looking at airplane trails in the middle of nowhere a few days ago. Let that sink. Sup Forums's weaponised autism can be used to locate a specific flagpole in space as vast as american continent in less than 48 hours.

In other words, it's not a matter of "if", but "when".

no HE is CIA
fuckin cia kitty cat

CIA get out

>HeArrivesPreciselyWhenHeMeansTo
exactly that kind of thing, it takes GPU a few seconds to run every phrase of 50 characters or so in 10,000 books and i've tried all the free txt format ebooks i can find. This is the only way we will solve it unelss it's a random key

Oh my. The earlier conversation must have JayTRIGgered you. Fishing?

why would CIA want to release files they already have

Come in come in all based autists we have over 70 autists in the discord working to crack this get the fuck in here less goooooo anonssssss!!!!!!

>no u

nobody knows what's in them only the filenames wikileaks created but it's likely to be something

OP, do you really think people haven't tried to bruteforce this with rainbow tables and dictionaries and whatnot, yet?

Try harder, script kiddie

Okay, thats fun, and whats up with
? I see this discord in previous threads. Bots or?...

To shift blame to the hacker

dictionaries or more rules is the only option , Sup Forums is good at guessing stuff like this , what is likely and what to ginore

Have you tried 'password'?

>file is named .aes256 for obvious reasons
>file is actually in 300 bit blowflish
>the file name was a diversion
what now

assange has already stated that the insurance files are to make sure taking down wikileaks isn't an option, but wikileaks is still going to release the information anyway

The password is probably a 128+ collection of random alphanumeric characters. You'll never guess it.

So what the fuck is the point of autistics trying to get into it? I understand that curiosity is a thing but if it's for Wikileak's own good why would we want to compromise that?

BAIL!!!! HUEY "THE ISIS DRONE" MALONE FOUND US OUT

because it's there

>Try harder, script kiddie

try harder shill

Good enough reason for me I guess

i see you know much of julian assange. are you his personal friend?

>so they can be released early.
>this kills the Assange

This seems made up.

I'm sure this has been posted 10000 times, but are you fucking people idiots?

You clearly do not understand math.

the key has about a billion billion billion chances of you guessing it.

THIS IS NOT LIKE CRACKING PODESTA'S LAME PASSWORD.

you could harness all the PCs on earth for a million billion years and

ah fuck it. you are all retarded.

>words that Assange would have chosen
>assuming it's not 50 random characters

>tfw cia saw the potential of pol after the autistic search for the hwndu flag
>tfw when they're now trying to get us to decrypt wikileaks insurance file so that they can be sure whether wikileaks is bluffing or not

i'm pretty sure the point is reducing entropy by assuming there are no random combinations of alphanumeric characters, and then looking through Assange's background to check the types of references and phrases he would use

if he's smart enough to assume this is something that not just autists on a galactic structure research board would try, but also members of intelligence agencies, he would make some releases with easy to remember passwords and others with random alphanumeric bullshit

it's a decent theory i guess

It's pronounced Winkylinks.

look fellow anons (((they))) are scared. what is the purpose of your post other than to discourage us from trying to break the code? i think you underestimate the power of Sup Forums

lurk moar shill

it would be too much risk on their end. if we cracked it for them and there was something substantial we would all have it.

need to get some time crystals.

>it's a decent theory i guess

i'm a bit drunk so excuse me if I missed your point. but to think that assange used his fucking childhood pet from facebook to make a password is absurd.

anybody with HALF A BRAIN can make a password that you cannot crack in this lifetime.

I'm guessing that the guy in charge of wikileaks is aware of this shit.

a retarded leaf. big fucking surprise.

Y'all seriously need to stop. Why would you willingly piss off the CIA? Especially if you're an American, and they've literally saved your life numerous times you may not even know of?

The only way all the stuff could have been UNCLASSIFIED is if, in fact, it IS NOT currently and properly classified. Which means it's bunk that basically states the obvious.

"The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know."

"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.

Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed." - JFK 1961

What about a open source program to centralise (or organise) a distributed effort?

Stfu they've killed millions

think of the vault 7 release. it was clearly about the CIA, the password was a reference to a speech JFK made about the CIA with a minor alteration ("I will splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the wind" was the original quote).

if you make the assumption that some, maybe not all, but some wikileaks files do have a similar setup for passwords, you can reduce the number of possibilities immensely by assuming they're words arranged in an english sentence format, not random data.

nobody is assuming that assange has named the files after the names of the women he's fucked in sequential order, they're assuming that maybe going off other hints they can reduce the entropy for the passphrases.

a good idea in theory, i have no clue how it would work in practice. it's pretty clear there's a difference between the insurance files and wikileaks' (claimed) new method of distribution.

>WTF

was mostly larping but would it be possible to encrypt a file using a previously encrypted file without knowing the key so that when someone finds the key for the second one it's the same key as for the first one ?

ok, I follow your theory. everyone at wikilieaks is stupider than my 12 year old sister.

bye. this thread sucks.

IfYouCanReadThisImDead

You're right, but here's the train of thought.

Assange/Wikileaks are not using cryptographically secure passwords. They are all logical phases in English.

The hope is that we can break the way the came up with their keys, instead of breaking AES.

youtube.com/watch?v=GKum7WWeq0Y

Hey CIA, try to drink this in.

Never going to happen. You'd still have to do more guesses than could ever be calculated through current capabilities before the sun explodes.

I'd love to see the insurance files unleashed and watch the global order descend into ungodly, awful chaos, in the hopes that a new world might form. But you're just gonna have to wait on this. There is really just no way to get around having the actual key.

In the CIA dump was this image which was also found in Sup Forums /mlp/. This is CIA kitty :)

[spoiler]obviously, but don't say that. maybe some autist will come across just the right combination once[/spoiler]

Lads open question - am I the only one here who has been suspicious of Wikileaks and their authenticity BECAUSE of these insurance files in the past?

These big ass insurance files are essentially uncrackable for 99.99% of the world and while they supposedly contain the secrets to the universe as far as modern politics goes, there's never been any real hint of them being opened or released.

Sometimes I do wonder if there's nothing in them and it's just a tactic to give Wikileaks more clout as an organization overall. Sort of like this;

>Wikileaks expose corruption!
>hey guys I don't think Wikileaks have done THAT much, they've never gotten a Bush or an Obama or a Clinton locked up
>yeah but what about the insurance files! those could change everything!
>oh yeah...true

This is CIA niggers they glow in the dark.

Welcome to Sup Forums :)

godammit I'm also autistic

No. There isn't enough energy in the sun to bruteforce AES.

However, Knowing the passwords are around 11 words brings 2^256 down to (English words)^11

I wus pulling your leg, we're very aware of that cat, and the file name and the fucking something else

checked

he knows his stuff

Apologies :)

Holy shit that image is stupid. The first attempts to pipe the results, but then puts an argument afterwards. The second attempts to load the .aes256 file as if it was a text file with a bunch of password hashes inside of it.

he's a big guy

>>/f/3223485

kek i'm learning as i go, only just figured out how to set minimum password length

Can you tell me is it aes256 and how GPU doesn't work in john.exe but hashcat can figure hashes and see GPU

you're not going to break AES256 bro

we could set up all of our computers in parallel with john and MPI with our GPUs at full-blast for a hundred years and still not crack these files.

...

bump

i do understand the rules now sortof there is no way anyone will break it apart from the 50 posts in this thread saying about reducing keysize through english words, phrases, no spaces. The great thing is this only takes an hour to run once you restrict it from brute force.

>rules
rule options wordlists dictionary options min max lengths etc

>anyone have access to a quantum computer at a university or something like that?

Jesus Christ is this is the kind of shit people ask when kids are attending public schools, yikes

>Stfu they've killed millions

Name one specific person or event.

How have they allegedly "killed millions?"

Stop.

We need to think this through before we start just throwing compute resources at the problem.

If we wrote a little (probably a lot actually) of code that implemented DHT for hashcat we could _theoretically_ multiforce maybe one of the files.

It would take thousands of anons and probably a few weeks and a shitload of luck.

CIA trying to crowdsource pol to hack the wikileaks

>It would take thousands of anons and probably a few weeks and a shitload of luck.
my kinda task

great idea actually, first because this is actually a challenge that would provide massive world-changing lulz, second because nothing is unhackable, and third because it would be a backhanded insult to intelligence agencies if some autists on Sup Forums were able to hack wikileaks before a billion dollar government agency with a 7 year head-start could

see

then start writing some code.....

hashcat already exists and is optimized, and you can steal a bunch of code for DHT implementation from existing BitTorrent application source code.

You just have to figure out how to get them to use work units so that we aren't making any single attempt across all of the different GPUs redundant.

We would also have to account for latency....we'd need some pretty fast and well-placed "trackers"

>FBI trying to crowdsource pol to hack the wikileaks

FTFY
Carry On

brute force the encryption?
wikileaks stores the keys in bitcoin blockchains most likely
might be more effective to try and decode the wikileaks transactions
it will reduce the search as well
