Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net.

Default Cryptanalysis of RC5

Hey peoples,

Although I don't expect to find many crypto-geeks here, I figured I'd post this anyway. It's a known-plaintext attack on a reduced-round RC5 variant that I discovered recently. Warning: it's written with the assumption that the reader is familiar with the basics of linear cryptanalysis. I plan to extend it to a typical 12 round 32 bit block size in the future, but so far it looks promising. If anyone knows of a paper describing a similar attack, please let me know. Other than that, you may find some other things on my site interesting:

Let me know what you folks think.
