Osama bin Laden raid yields trove of computer data




The assault force
of Navy SEALs snatched a trove of computer drives and disks during
their weekend raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound, yielding what a U.S.
official called "the mother lode of intelligence.”


The special
operations forces grabbed personal computers, thumb drives and
electronic equipment during the lightning raid that killed bin Laden,
officials told POLITICO.










"They cleaned it out,” one official said. "Can you imagine what’s on Osama bin Laden’s hard drive?

So, if my Farmville was next to OBL's Farmville do you guys think I'll be in trouble.  Whenever I found a lost lamb I always sent it back over to him.

My favorite quote from that article:

Officials described the reaction of the special operators when they were told a number of weeks ago that they had been chosen to train for the mission.

“They were told, ‘We think we found Osama bin Laden, and your job is to kill him,’” an official recalled.

The SEALs started to cheer.

Or...maybe this is disinformation.  All of these Al-Quida types are probably relocating and changing codes and communication channels right now, following SOP layed down before this not quite tragic event.

If they think that those Standard Operating Procedures are also compromised they might ditch them, too.  That would make reassembling Al-Quida much more difficult.  Maybe we found nothing, but by telling the world that UBL failed to follow his own security protocols we can get almost the same effects.

Just for the sake of argument –– are you suggesting that the US Government has backdoors into the most recent encryption algorithms?

Everything I've read about it has basically stated that once you reach a certain level of encryption, barring some kind of shortcut/rainbow tables/back door, no one is getting in without the password.

Someone here posted images of the computers available just at Sandia National Labratories like last month.

Any code small enough to be run by a PC, can be brute forced in at most a month or two by using one or more of those mothers.

From what I've read, some of the stronger encryption algorithms would take hundreds of years on server farms.

Let's hope he went with ROT 13.

There are all sorts of ways to speed it up, rather than simple random brute-force.  If you know your target, and are clever about how you guess, you can shorten the "end of time" duration significantly.
