How do i get started with stealing bitcoin?
>>
>>109434128
It was open source and considered to be the safest option to store bitcoin

lol

Open source doesn't mean more secure dumbass, this last year has been a bloodbath of linux cve
>>
>>109434133
Two real routes:
A. Get good at cybersecurity and cryptanalysis. Find and exploit flaws. Pay special attention to key generation, and anything that might be able to leak a key.
B. Get an anonymous voip, dial random numbers and go like "Hello SAAAR I am calling you from Microsoft department there is the wirus on your PC and the hackers on your IP, you have to pay us the bitcoins today to get rid of them".

Open source seems like an active hazard in the era of LLM hacking

It always. I still remember the openssl debacle

Theres no such thing as security by obscurity. Which is what closed source is.

>keep coins in hot wallet

its that easy. I got 30k sitting in feather wallet lol
>>
>>109434120
fuck off to biz with your shitcoin nonsense
>>
>>109434120
buy bitcoin
buy coldcard and use dice and a passphrase to create your wallet

you'll suck my dick out of gratitude in a decade.
>>
>>109434275
>Theres no such thing as security by obscurity
This was always nonsense, but it's blatantly false in the age of AI sloppa where anybody with a few greenbacks can run a fairly good llm locally and automate searching for weaknesses in the code without anybody knowing you're doing it
and that's not mentioning well moneyed, organized groups doing the same, or nation states
not having source makes it significantly harder

>what is reverse engineering
Explain how all closed sourced programs and networks get hacked. Exclude social engineering.
>>
>>109435013
Can't ai look at a binary and reverse engineer it?
>>
>>109435070
Do you not understand what 'easier' means? Do you think finding weak spots and bugs is easier when you need to reverse engineer everything, most of which you'll struggle to get access to (like the server code), or when you have the original source code available, likely including comments, history etc?

cryptos are digital farts. Imagine "investing" in something that can be stolen over the internet, kek

>Theres no such thing as security by obscurity
>This was always nonsense
indeed. Obscurity just works. Especially when you cannot access any executable at all, just interact with it over the network.

Would obscurity help in this case? Yeah probably, because you can't tell it's not secure.
The real thief here is the company that made it, that didn't alert the users that they sold a faulty device that they need to update. Never trust a crypto company, kek

It's like everyone who had theirs stolen has an hero'd already

>anybody with a few greenbacks can run a fairly good llm locally and automate searching for weaknesses in the code
But doesn't this mean you can do the same in order to search and fix?
>>
>>109435347
smart contract code was always dogshit and worse, extremely hard to fix. LLMs will destroy crypto
>>
What was the effective purpose of a hardware wallet if it was still vulnerable to exploitation that basically doesn't involve the wallet? The addresses and transactions are still stored on the block right?
>>
>>109434120
>xcancel is so fucking shit that they're bandwidth limiting everyone to 20kb/s
post a real source, you incompetent fucking idiot. i'm not dealing with the ramblings of pedophiles on twitter.
>>
>>109437349
there is no effective purpose. this shit was always snakeoil sold to fucking retards that know absolutely nothing about technology
>>
>>109434120
It's funny how all those retards couldn't understand that hardware wallet does nothing but introduce a new attack vector. Good luck hacking a wallet where the only seed phrase is on a piece of paper
>>
>>109435347
there's no way they'd be using AI to write a smart contract right??? the single most important piece of code handling money???
>>
>>109437349
It stores your seed phrase for you. On an device that connects to the Internet and screams HACK ME I STORE THE SEED PHRASE RIGHT HERE LOOK INSIDE. Yeah it's a horrible fucking idea
>>
>>109440227
many people are sucked into the most basic marketing claims you can imagine. just mention encryption a few times, throw in a standard encryption algo or two into the text. done. you can now sell trash to retards and they will buy it without question. they will believe that it's secure. that's all is needed: a belief.

kek how do you fuck up storing things on secure elements

Since I have no fucking clue what this is about and probably no one else does either:
>A March 2021 firmware integration error routed seed generation to a deterministic software pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) instead of the STM32 hardware random number generator (RNG).
lol, dare I say it? lmao even.
