Is this a true statement in absolute terms?
If it's digital [ generic meaning] it's hackable?
care to discuss?:)

View Full Version : If it's binary..... it's hackable... Quantum Quack 08-01-07, 04:20 PM Is this a true statement in absolute terms? If it's digital [ generic meaning] it's hackable? care to discuss?:) leopold99 08-01-07, 04:27 PM all cyphers, regardless of base, are breakable. it all boils down to how much time and processing power you have. draqon 08-01-07, 04:29 PM the question is....if time to break the code is almost forever, is that code considered breakable?

In such a case, the possibility of "unencrypting/hacking" becomes theoretical (short way of saying impossible with a "but"). If these algorithms are digital-based, then it must not be reverse engineerable. darksidZz 08-01-07, 05:27 PM I pay online, they may hack my bank account, sadly it's only got 50 bucks in it now :D pencil 08-01-07, 05:29 PM btw, many forum software use MD5 hashing for passwords....which is totally crackable (it was cracked recently).

"If it's on the net it aint safe" the more you use a particular cypher the greater the chance of it getting cracked. the best cyphers are what is called "one time pads". a one time pad can be regarded as unbreakable for all practical purposes. more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad |
