how hard would it be to reverse engineer his drive to get the code?
>>79684407what makes you think he has the code on a drive?
>>79684407Is it too late to get into crypto if I'm poor?
>>79684407No data recovery company offered him some money for the drive?I'd let it go for 4.4 million.
>>79684505This. The device he used encrypts the drive in AES256, but using only a four-digit passcode as the encryption seed. Pull the drive out and brute force it.
>>79684407There are tons of Israeli companies that could do this
>>79684407I heard somewhere he used a QTPass kinda software that generated his passwords and lost the key to the software. Unless the company itself gives him the password. He's fucked.
>>79684474It was $40k 3 days ago, $31k 2 days ago, and $37k now.It's never too late or too early. It's completely fucking random at this point.So personally I pass. But suit yourself.
>>79684474It's literally at all time high rn. You'll probably lose out if you buy right now.
>>79684474Its set to reach 100k this year. Don't buy above 50k, try to buy below 35 when/if possible.
another psyops to spread fear of using crypto.((()))never ever believe them again.
>>79684474if you're poor there's literally no point investing in any asseteven if it goes to a new ath if all you have to invest is a few bucks your max upside is still a few bucksspend time developing skills to increase income instead
>>79686053It makes sense to save some money, or at least buy some government bonds or invest in some stock and reinvest dividends.Even if you get a degree you might need some cash after a few years so you can buy a car if needed, instruments related to your work, or afford a roof on your head for a few months to get started.Gambling on cryptocurrency is retarded though.
>>79684474You had 11 years.
>>79686053If you invest wisely and double your money every year you'd be well off in no time
>>79685898>I truly believe in the tech
>>79685789so perfect tiem to buy
>>79686352Yes. Buy high, sell low.
What do you think he'll do if he fucks it up twice? Suicide?
>>79684474you had 3 years to invest in smart contracts
>>79684700>Looks like someone spent the money sorry goy, now pay up please.
>>79684407can't he clone the drive and work on the clone?
>>79686978Yes, but he's too stupid to figure it out. Worst case he could pull the flash cells and get someone to reconstruct it for him. Will cost a couple thousand but nothing if he gets 220 mil
>>79684700I hope there's a contingency plan, like, what if the file is corrupted and contains nothing?
>>79684474Its a volatile shit show let it crash and then buy if you want.
>>79684407Why didn't he write his password on a sticky note? Rookie mistake.
>>79687263He jizzed on it and can't read it anymore.
>>79686224Zip it, nerd.
>>79684505kek. gonna start encrypting drives and selling it to data recovery companies for millions."yeah man i totally had like 50 BTC on there"
fuck off with crypto. If you want to gamble just do it with stock options.
>>79684407
>>79684407I have just over 3 bitcoins in a coinbase account that I created back in 2014. i didn't log into my account in forever because bitcoin price wasn't doing too much and it was only about $1000 worth of bitcoin back then. when I tried logging in recently, they want 2fa and I don't have the phone anymore that I used when I signed up back then. :/
>>79687263More like a few notes in different hiding places.
>>79687444figure that shit out bro
>>79687422holy crap, the NSA has a backdoor
>>79687263This, funny how passwords are now required to be complex enough to warrant writing them down physically near the machine
>having so many passwords you can't remember
A password that self destructs whatever it's protecting is one of the dumbest fucking things I've ever heard. Maybe it makes sense for government applications, but using this as a home user is the perfect IQ test.
>>79687770It makes sense when you think about trying to encrypt very personal information, but not so much when destroying that information also harms you.
>>79685717>at this point.It was always random.
>>79687422That confirms NSA can unlock it for him, don't think they will though.
Imagine not generating all of your wallets from a phrase seed that you have memorized
this is why all my passwords are Sneed followed by the first three letters alphabet order number of the service I'm using.So for Google, my password is Sneed71515
>>79687444Call the number, tell the person on the other end you need the text, if they refuse say you'll pay them a hundred bucks to read out the 2FA, keep them on the phone until your sure you're in the account. If the number hasn't been ported port it to a new SIM. Or give me the info and I'll do it for a hundred or so bucks lmao.
>>79688110What's your 4chan password?
>>79688110this is genius
>>79685853>setkek
>>79686053the only truth in this thread.
>>79688303What are you even saying retard 2fa has nothing to do with your number
>>79688110My password is the pattern of a familiar piano piece starting on a random letter. For example my mail pword is Y6y6yetrw5e but I only remember the Y
>>79684407>clone hard drive>you now have 2 hard drives with 2 chances each>4 chancesjust keep cloning it?
>>79684407This makes 0 sense just fucking clone the drive
>>79685898>>>/pol/
>>79684474just remember to buy high and sell low
>>79688510>>79688549probably has a fail safe to being cloned
>>79684474Whole market is up for no reason. Theres going to be a big ass crash. Poor holders and rich sellers. And those who sold will buy low again.
>>79687004He offered millions for someone to do it>>79684505Just contact him if that is the case, he offered like 10% of it of I'm not mistaken.
>>79684679isn't there only like 2 more attempts before the drive locks itself out? The tamper resistant mechanisms I heard could be bypassed by pulling the microcontroller, making an image of the encryption system, and t hen brute force the password through the images. That's to bypass the tamper resistance system.
>>79688699I don't think any such thing exists
>>79689015It does exist. You can't clone the drive.
>>79689268>It does exist.Wow, thanks for this educational post>nuh-uh!
>>79684454The article says he has it on an encrypted drive
>>79686224>double your money every yeart. 12 years old whose only investment has been scalping a ps5
It's on an IronKey. These don't present an encrypted filesystem for the OS to decrypt, they have hardware encryption that require the passkey before the OS has any data access whatsoever. You can't just clone the drive then brute-force it because you need the key to even be able to do that.
I have been bruteforcing a 50 BTC wallet I forgot the password to for the last 7 yearsone day death will take me
>>79689523You should rent time on AWS or a similar platform, you can throw some Teslas at it
>>79689552I've tried all the sensible combos and typos already. I'm thinking maybe I corrupted it, but I don't believe there's a way to know the difference between a properly encrypted wallet and one that failed.
>>79688401You set 2fa to a fucking app? Are you retarded?
>>79689523and in that time you could have mined more than 50 btc
>>79689807>sim jacking
>>79685898The only thing more worthless than money is digital money.
>>79687556Where does this end eventually?
>>79688724>Theres going to be a big ass crash. Poor holders and rich sellers. And those who sold will buy low again.Looking forward to seeing /biz/ on that day lol
>>79687409I don't buy crypto to invest. I buy it as an alternative to fiat currency. It is unironically much easier and integrated to do transactions with crypto. Also hosting any sort of webshop, accepting crypto is easier than registering for all of the bank-api-wrapper-apis services out there.
>>79688331
>>79684407isn't bitcoin password== bitcoin encryption (unbreakable)
>>79690431Hardware security tokens that can be used like physical keys as a single factor, see YubiKey, WebAuthn.
>>79684474Wait for it to inevitably crash by march, buy low and sit on it patiently until the next cycle. And buy ETH and XMR
>>79689010The solution to the problem1. connect a write blocker to the drive2. clone it3. operate on the cloned images
!!! Attention, retards !!!1. This is an IronKey, its flash memory contents can not be imaged or cloned without unlocking the encryption key first2. The key is on a tamper-resistant physical chip3. The key is automatically erased if you get the passphrase wrong 10 timesHe didn't keep this data on an SSD or floppy drive that you could easily clone. The IronKey is also used to transport sensitive data between secure facilities (guarded with real weapons) and its sole purpose is to not allow data retrieval in case of loss or theft.If you all think he's dumb for not <insert useless action> then I have bad news for you. Look in the mirror to find the nearest idiot.
Keep your fucking scamcoin shit on >>>/biz/ where it belongs, for fuck's goddamn sake.
>>79692096Also, that dude was an idiot for storing his only copy on the IronKey. You don't store valuable data on a single device that can lock you out permanently, fail, burn in a fire or be stolen.
>>79688724>>79690446Do your research, it pumped because of banks and institutions buying it up, which kicked it through 20k and started a bullrun, which there has been a lot of pressure for because of the halving. This price increase was predicted last year, it's insane how quickly people will start claiming "it's all random!"
>>79687422> Looked at it with a FIBLol, what? That has a good chance of destroying it.
>>79684407Still can't beat pen and paper and he has to decrypt all the other blocks before it or something
>>79684407If it gets encrypted couldn't you just ya know decrypt it?
>>79692978might as well just start brute forcing butcoin wallets anon
>>79692143flash memory of all things is literal ticking time bomb. Dude doesn't deserve the 220 million.Friendly reminder flash is for transport not long term storage
>>79684407Just clone the fucking drive, idiotsHoly shit am I the only thinking person in this shit website?
>>79687770It makes sense if you have illegal shit in there like your Capitain Planet episodes
>>79693524Retard, read >>79692096
>>79692096>If you all think he's dumb for not <insert useless action> then I have bad news for you. Look in the mirror to find the nearest idiot.it's you
>>79693869Enlighten us, please! How would you go about retrieving data from an IronKey?You are just a waste of oxygen.
>>79688724> No reasonThe market is just seeing inflation. From printing of money.1$ in 2019 is worth 1.20$ in 2021.
>>79684407>locked outyeah right, nice fake news
>>79684407This is what you get for using digital currency. Physical currency based on gold is the only valid form of currency, the rest is just fiat bullshit value backed with nothing but jewish words. Currency itself is something that should be used sparingly, while you prioritise trading goods and services instead.
>>79688110My passwords are always "fuck{$company/service name}lmao420".
>>79694722gold has it owns problems toostoring it yourself (a safe) vs renting out a gold vaultwhen using gold vault and you want your gold back, how accessible is it? Pick it up yourself or get it delivered? etc.>rest is just fiat bullshitnot Bitcoin, can't say the same about the rest
>>79693804That's a cute rodent. What is it?
>>79692096He's retarded and so are you. Losing a crypto fortune = dumbass.
>>79696071I never claimed he's not retarded, you idiot. I just clarified what he used.
>>79684454>>79689010>>79684679it's not on a drive, it's on a hardware wallet. The New York Times doesn't know how to journalism.
>>79689523maybe try hypnosis
>>79697382I've tried that, it doesn't help me forget the pain
he was a retard for not keeping a password in a safe place. if you dont care about the government or banks then use a safety deposit box. if you dont trust them then put slips of paper in small plastic cases and hide them around parks like geocaching. it doesnt matter if someone finds one as they wont know its the password to your ironkey.
