Can you even imagine 2^256?

Me casually running my Gigagalactic Supercomputer for 1, 000, 000, 000x the age of the universe: “I coulda sworn I put that password somewhere around here.”

[sirarandor]

All of that security, and the only thing I need is a smile while carrying some boxes and people will let me into the building where the servers are housed.

[dearozero]

So you're saying there's a chance...

[rajats]

As they say, the biggest threat to security is the idiot between the chair and the keyboard. 😂

[Arithmatrixx]

Mathematics is just so elegant. The fact that it can be applied to anything is so amusing.

[tristanridley]

Anyone suggesting 512 bit security doesn't understand that a vault door ten times stronger than the vault wall isn't better security than a door twice as strong as the wall.

I’m actually surprised google has that many computers that is so much

Future Quantum computers : hold my cat

[kirbofn]

There is a universe where sha256 is cracked every time through brute force and no one knows why

[cryptedorb]

Hackers without a quantum computer... 💀💀💀

[dnwiebe]

Somewhere I read about a graduate student who used the fundamental minimum necessary energy to flip a single bit to calculate how much energy (not time) would be needed to flip the same bit back and forth between 0 and 1 2^256 times. He figured that if you captured all the energy from a supernova, you could flip it 2^192 times; so all you'd need to get to 2^256 would be the energy from 2^64 supernovas.

Then, once you'd completed this small proof-of-concept problem, you could begin work on a computer that was complex enough to actually break encryption, rather than just flipping a bit back and forth. It'd take more than one bit flip inside that computer to try each 256-bit key, of course; but the good news is that for most of the keys you broke, you wouldn't have to go all the way to the end.

All of that and the password is „password“

[ThePotatoMemer]

Me: gets the code on the second guess.

[memeaficionado]

All that computing power but it still cant render a life-sized image of your mom.

[Ryan-oqgy]

This is the chance of me finding a woman with the same humor and music taste as me.

[Phroggster]

Naw, the HSM with the key for it all is in that file cabinet over there. It's got a four pin tumbler lock on it, but poor Janet always seems to forget to lock it when the boss is running manic.

[nickorsini]

Im so glad your doing shorts, because now i can show this to my firnwda to help explain my thoughts in our high conversations to ky nonmathy friends

[abhishekmaurya]

Imagine if you got the combination right on your first try 😅

[srivathsansanthanam]

Since u had asked... ALTHOUGH BIG VIDEOS ARE INFORMATIVE AND SATISFYING, u need to keep uploading shorts as well yo keep up the revenue and attraction.

Your shorts are addicitve

[jonadabtheunsightly]

In practice, when cryptography is compromised, it pretty much never takes as long as this kind of analysis suggests that it should. There's pretty much always some kind of shortcut possible due to some weakness, sometimes in the cryptographic protocol itself, but more often in the manner in which it is applied and used in practice.
