My interest in the internet is nothing more than testing my abilities as a penetration tester, with little or no knowledge of the victim. If you think you have thought of everything, I will create that which you never thought of.. just to prove it can be done.
I read how bitcoin is unstoppable.. wrong.
Everything required to intercept bitcoin payments is in place today, and almost worldwide. You can laugh now, but by the time this short post is finished you will realise the truth.. that bitcoin WILL fail, and not of it's own accord, but due to the fact that it is indeed a threat to any and all established currencies of the world, and hence a threat to those countries security.
Why better testers cant see this is beyond me.
First, create laws requiring interception of all traffic at the ISP level.
Second, lets give it a fictional name, like 'No Shitty Attacks' or NSA for short.
Place 'NSA Killbox' between ISP and the world. Switch to record mode.
This means A box between YOUR isp, and the rest of the world. Nothing you can do about this.
Linux users probably think they are cool and can bypass this.. no they cant. They think they can use TOR or some other ip spoofing method.. THIS is an illusion. Yeah it hides your ip from other end users, but YOUR isp has YOUR ip, period. Notice we are all given static ip's now? These are postcoded. Geo tagging is applied to ALL packets leaving YOUR pc at the ISP level, they can now decide where to send ALL packets using strict filtering rules.
When it's decided bitcoin is a threat to the security of any MAJOR country, they can force the isp to re-route p2p traffic to a dns dead end. At this point they can be clear and say, you want passed here, your paying for it.. This is how to tax bitcoin.
Or I could just look at the block chain for address's, write any address found there into my fresh wallet, and take all, using that dns redirect..
To all dodjy faucet owners.. lets see what your worth now that this is in print, it was implemented 4 years ago here where I live.. notice your new security? Made in Scotland.. go on, ask Richard.. B
Network engineer here,
what you said was just utter horse shit! But, thanks! I had a good laugh. Don't tell me you're NextGenHacker101??
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXmv8quf_xMAnyway, I do also have a concern with BTC and i brought this up earlier;
First off, I'd like to say I'm Pro-bitcoin. I've been mining since 2013 with around 230GH/s and I have a few bitcoins in an offline wallet. I've been telling everyone about it, wearing Bitcoin shirts to start conversations etc etc so, please don't yell at me and call me a bitcoin-hating troll for bringing this up. K? Ok.
Here is my fear for the future of crypto-currency; Yes, it's a bit nightmarish but hey, we have to watch out for Murphy right?
Lets say it's 2025. IPv6 has taken over everything. As you know I'm sure, IPv6 gets rid of NATs (mostly) since there are so many addresses, something like: 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 unique addresses and as we know Cisco is trying to IP EVERYTHING! From Trees in the forest to your boxer-briefs and there is enough IP space to do it.
Then comes I2RS and LISP. I2RS is an SDN type protocol which allows applications (nsa?!?!) to basically manipulate the routing table and the forwarding table w/o anyone. Right now, if you wan to black hole a route or something you, a human, has to manually login to the router, and start typing shit. soon, some third party software will be able to manipulate the routing/forwarding table on the fly. and LISP (not the programing language) is a technology that will allow you to take your IP address everywhere with you. As I'm sure you know, right now if you go to starbucks and get on the internet your public address is a NAT/PAT address that is owned by some provider and it's designated for that store and thats where your anonymity lives, no one is going to keep track of the nat table. When you go home, you get a different public address and if you go to your buddies house and get on the tubes, well, then you get different public address etc etc. With LISP, you will be able to take your IP with you (sorta) That means one public IP can be assigned to you and you only and you will use it no matter if you're in Seattle or Tajikistan!
Here is the scary part! It's 2025. IPv6, LISP, I2RS, Bitcoin has taken over the intertubes. Bitcoin is now mainstream and the only people who use cash are the people who still have a flip phone. Then "we" "elect" a Rick Perry or a Dick Cheney type character and they pass laws! Bunch of laws thanks to some fucked up event!
Everyone MUST register the public Key with the FED (HAHAHAHAHAH, oh the irony) and any transactions placed with an unregistered Public Key is now considered a crime. One man , one SSN, one Public Key, one IPv6 Address! Totalitarianism wet dream! They will be able to track everything we buy and sell and I'm sure they are exempt, just like how congress is able to do insider trading with immunity.
Anyway, hope i'm wrong. Please knock some sense into me.
Thanks
