a security advisory i read within the last couple months was all about how someone on a cafe wifi could fairly easily get into supposedly secure connections by repeatedly injecting crafted contents and thus cracking the cipher, something like that, can anyone clarify this with a pointer? not sure but i think ssh was involved. which got me to thinking, couldn't predictably repeating contents, eg a flashing cursor via ssh/vnc, also similarly provide a fairly easily crackable sequence, with no need for an observer to even inject anything? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
