Psh, everyone knows that it only takes the span of a commercial break to crack military-grade double-layered crypto if you use a logic bomb.
So why don't you do it then? You would be famous for sure.
This seems like a good plan to me, but can any crypto pros poke holes in it?
Clearly, just use a standard solution (PGP). Don't do this with a weak passphrase, and use key-strengthening (bcrypt etc.) just in case. Assange is pretty good at crypto, so I'd expect Wikileaks to broadly get this right. Also, they already got in trouble for reusing a password ( http://boingboing.net/2011/08/31/wikileaks-guardian-journali... ), so I'm pretty sure they won't do that again...
Also, most likely it doesn't use a passphrase, but a big generated gpg key (with a passphrase protecting it, of course)

When you're up against the US government with all of their cracking hardware, your passphrase won't be simple.
Unless the insurance files are bluffs, you may as well give the US government the keys yourself so that they know you are not bluffing. The threat that makes the insurance files work is that the public/press and/or foreign governments may get the keys.

The problem with doing that is that the US government might release the information themselves, just dampened a bit with some PR, so the insurance files aren't worth anything and so WikiLeaks don't get the credit.
I had the last one for a bit, and deleted it just now because I'm seriously doubtful these things are anything more then /dev/urandom piped into a file.

My roomate's mother makes $87 hourly on the laptop. She has been fired for 7 months but last month her pay was $21739 just working on the laptop for a few hours. Read more here=====>>>>>=====www.jobs34.com
If you want that domain to die please continue to spam this forum. Of all the places on the web this is probably the least smart to pull stunts like this.

Does anyone actually fall for this stuff ?

Which would generally imply that they're not very good insurance files. I had the last one for a bit, and deleted it just now because I'm seriously doubtful these things are anything more then /dev/urandom piped into a file.
why on earth is this a link to Facebook of all things?
I don't understand why they don't post it on their own site.. but well.. here is twitter: https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/368426845735120896

Even if the content is not known, it could be viewed as an 'unfriendly' act and could make you become a "target of interest" to some zealous 3-letter agency...
Maybe I'm too paranoid. On the other hand, maybe not enough. Hard to know these days.
