| gilbert | paultag: that's awesome :) how many uninteresting keys did you generate before landing on that one? | 02:26 |
|---|---|---|
| paultag | gilbert: none, actually ;) (I had to implement huge chunks of OpenPGP though) | 02:28 |
| paultag | currently rewriting in C | 02:28 |
| gilbert | you're writing your own pgp implementation? | 02:30 |
| paultag | Not for other people to use, I'm trying to learn more about OpenPGP / GPG in general | 02:31 |
| paultag | I do that by implementing RFCs | 02:31 |
| paultag | calming, really | 02:31 |
| gilbert | paultag: ur always picking the craziest projects ;) | 02:31 |
| paultag | gilbert: ♥ :) | 02:32 |
| paultag | Yeah, totally | 02:32 |
| paultag | gilbert: with so many DDs changing their keys for some reason, I figure I should learn about the protocol, how some of this stuff works | 02:32 |
| gilbert | you should name it pretty good paultag | 02:32 |
| paultag | perhaps PGP smartcards | 02:32 |
| paultag | those are neat. | 02:32 |
| paultag | bwaahahhahahahahahha | 02:32 |
| paultag | that's brilliant gilbert | 02:32 |
| gilbert | hehe :) | 02:33 |
| gilbert | btw, i can't stand reading RFCs. you're a better man than i... | 02:33 |
| paultag | Yeah, lota braindamage sometimes | 02:33 |
| gilbert | much less implementing them... | 02:34 |
| paultag | but you do find fun corners of the spec that are prone to … abuse | 02:34 |
| paultag | such as that hash ;) | 02:34 |
| paultag | I'm good at homework :) | 02:34 |
| gilbert | i see, so that was intentional... | 02:35 |
| paultag | yessir | 02:35 |
| gilbert | urgh | 02:35 |
| paultag | perhaps my next one will be 0x00000042 | 02:35 |
| gilbert | that's ripe for abuse | 02:35 |
| paultag | Yeah, asheesh abused this before me | 02:35 |
| paultag | he made a new 4096 key with the same short ID as his old key | 02:35 |
| paultag | eons ago | 02:35 |
| paultag | turns out we did it the same way | 02:36 |
| gilbert | oh, i had assumed he did that by generating a bunch of random keys until he got the last 8 to match... | 02:37 |
| paultag | so under the hood it is, but there are some … tricks … to speed it up | 02:37 |
| paultag | without actually gen-key'ing | 02:37 |
| gilbert | i see | 02:37 |
| paultag | I fear abuse | 02:38 |
| paultag | I think everyone does | 02:38 |
| paultag | since you can imagine someone doing this with every key in the keyservers | 02:38 |
| paultag | and even signing them in proper order too | 02:38 |
| gilbert | paultag: u could be a hero by fixing the spec :) | 02:39 |
| gilbert | (if its even possible) | 02:39 |
| paultag | sadly not | 02:39 |
| paultag | the real fix is to always use the full fingerprint | 02:39 |
| paultag | at least 16 bits of it | 02:40 |
| gilbert | you mean 16 bytes, right? | 02:40 |
| paultag | erm | 02:40 |
| paultag | yes please | 02:40 |
| paultag | 0xFF ftw | 02:40 |
| paultag | erm | 02:41 |
| paultag | 0xFFFF | 02:41 |
| paultag | fuck I need sleep | 02:41 |
| jrgifford | so... we have a twitter now. | 02:41 |
| jrgifford | also, paultag - nice key ID. :) | 02:41 |
| paultag | thanks jrgifford :) | 02:41 |
| paultag | I wish I did 1BADD00D | 02:41 |
| paultag | in retrospect | 02:41 |
| paultag | perhaps I'll revoke it for a 0x00000042 | 02:41 |
| gilbert | 1337D00D would also be nice :) | 02:42 |
| paultag | Oh! another good idea | 02:43 |
| paultag | 0xBAD1D3A5 | 02:43 |
| gilbert | yes | 02:43 |
| paultag | Alright, back to the spec | 02:44 |
| paultag | I'm in the middle of breaking GPG | 02:44 |
| gilbert | bad paultag | 02:44 |
| paultag | gpg: mpi larger than indicated length (0 bytes) | 02:44 |
| paultag | gpg: read_block: read error: invalid packet | 02:44 |
| gilbert | later | 02:44 |
| paultag | welcome to my hell | 02:44 |
| gilbert | i assume the same issue affects subkeys? | 02:45 |
| paultag | yeah | 02:45 |
| paultag | I could issue subkeys with cooked IDs too I think | 02:45 |
| paultag | I'd need to adjust a few things, I think | 02:46 |
| paultag | I'm still getting through the RFC, so I've not even touched subkeys yet | 02:46 |
| paultag | ok, for real, outie 5000 | 02:47 |
| paultag | much love | 02:47 |
| * skellat is still up, watching Tekzilla | 04:01 | |
