How hard is it to crack 448-bit encryption on files?
 

Thx what ya know about this?

i am assuming you have a 448 bit blowfish encrypted flash drive?

do you mean you crack someone elses? or someone cracking yours.

it would be very hard to crack 448 bit encryption.

it would take at least a couple months and very high computing power to do it

i'm rofl'n over here

it's almost impossible...

You have better chances of being hit on the head by a soviet satellite.

not hard

Anything that is encrypted can be decrypted :2 cents:

Well considering that it's taking thousands of computers ~1747 days to do 0.441% of a 72-bit keyspace @ www.distributed.net, I think it would take considerably longer to do 448-bit. Good luck though! :thumbsup

it's not something an average hacker wouldl be able to do, but given enough $$ and manpower anything can be done...

:1orglaugh

A 448 bit key is 2302 times stronger than a 128 bit key, which is what your bank uses :)

Let me guess, you're not very smart, are you?

I read this on one of the BlowFish encryption websites....

Encrypted files are statistically impregnable against brute force attacks.

It would take more than the age of the universe for all the computers in the world working simultaneously on the same file to decrypt a 448 bit encrypted file.

I decrypt it in my head...

very hard with 1 pc :)

encryption is only as good as the password. Even though it's heavily encrypted etc.. if you password is a dictionary word.. (i.e. no !,@,# and numbers) it wouldn't take long at all.

I could crack it in one day... if I could only take over NSA; now thats hard part...


JK!
.

yeah my files on that encryption , wanted to see if they were compromised how easy or hard it would be to get the info.

Thx

Depends on the password. Decent password would be near impossible. Shitty dictionary word password not so much.

It's a good thing that the source is unbiased. :1orglaugh

It'd be rough, but I doubt it'd be that rough.... considering the age of the universe is to the existence of man as the span of a 35-year-old's life is to about 5 hours.... and realizing we've only had computers about 70 years of the 200,000 that we've been around as a species...

well, maybe that'll put things a bit in perspective for ya. :thumbsup

according to Digital fortress , only NSA can decrypt these fast enough, in reality it would take about 1000 pc's more than a year .

Very true...

Yea crack this...
 

There are far better ways of encryption using multi layered associated keys that are continually changing based of observations and encoded to the subject(s) "perceptual sets" as a public key and private key to make a stronger type of secured communication... therefor even in plain language with every computer looking at your code no one will understand the proper context of the layered communications...

Now all you have to worry about is if you are being watched... ^^


BOO...
