  Oh boy!  Yet another Usenet idiot who thinks his filter file edit
sessions need to be announced or carry some importance such that he
needs to announce them.

  Your plonk filter file edit session announcement post was even more
retarded and immature than your unsolicited, unqualified, unprofessional
assessment post was.

Dunno about a plate full, but certainly a 3-fer.

Utter nonsense.  I've been very consistent but apparently you simply
can't get a simple idea through your thick skull.  If prior knowledge
of the *KEY* is used, it is not a "brute force" search.  It is an
intelligent search.  The proposition that it's "brute force" if the
entire key space is searched (until the key is found) is simply silly.
Doing anything other will leave potential keys untested.

As I've already explained, having knowledge of the key space is not

That's certainly true, but nobody here has even mentioned having 
knowledge of the key, so it's irrelevant to the discussion.

A brute force search is an exhaustive search - one that tries every 
possibility until a possibility that works is found. Your argument 
appears to be that, if that exhaustive search is ordered in some 
particular way, it is no longer exhaustive. I don't understand why you 
think so.

Rich thinks that you think that, if you have any information about the 
key and use that information to direct your exhaustive search, it no 
longer counts as brute force. Are you now saying you don't think that?

Huh?  The whole idea behind an intelligent attack is that you have
some knowledge of the key.

Close.  I'm saying that by using some knowledge of the key, that you
design your exhaustive attack to reduce the time to find the key, it's
no longer a "brute force" attack.  Otherwise the term has no meaning.
All exhaustive searches become "brute force" and indeed all searches
become "brute force" (assuming that you will continue until the key is
found).

Okay, you wrote "knowledge" but meant "some knowledge". Sometimes we 
phrase things in a way that we think is clear but which nevertheless 
leads to ambiguity and misunderstanding. I know that, because it happens 
to me occasionally.

Yes, having /some/ knowledge of the key (for example, video evidence 
suggests that the first digit of a PIN might be on the 7/8/9 row) can 
help to direct an attack.

At this point, we seem to have reduced the argument to one about 
terminology. I define "brute force" as "exhaustive search", and you 
define it as "exhaustive search where no information about the key is 
used to organise the order of the search".

Thus, we are no longer arguing about facts but about definitions, and of 
course such arguments can never be resolved except by recourse to a 
mutually accepted authority. As far as I'm aware, no such authority 
exists in this case, so we're at an impasse that will not be resolved by 
further discussion.

Of course I didn't mean you knew the key.  Once you know the key,
*any* search is pretty silly, no?

Or you suspect that the user uses the form Ulllllln, or similar.

We agree.  ;-)  That's been my position all along.  

Further, I propose that the term "exhaustive search" is meaningless
since to have a 100% probability of finding the key you have to
exhaust the key space (counter example?).  The question is how you get
there.  Do you use information about the (specific or generic) user or
not.

Sure, it's always been about definitions.  I propose that yours is a
meaningless definition, though (see above).

However, it appears Schneier disagrees with me (though I don't
understand his reasoning - other than by definition).  He's about as
authoritative as there is.  I still don't believe it's a useful
definition, though.

Here is a comparison:

Trying to break into a house by simply hammering in one place on the
door with your hands is pretty silly and would qualify as "brute force"
in normal use of those words.

Trying to break into a house by hammering on the door with your hands
in a specific place where you reasonably suspect the door to be the
weakest is no longer brute force but a pretty clever trick.

However to someone not knowing why you are hammering on the door like
that, there is no way of telling why you are doing it, and when the
door gives way, they still have no way of knowing if it was clever,
extreme muscle power or dumb luck.

However to the person who owns the house, the difference is pretty
important when deciding how urgently they should try to reinforce that
weak spot on the door.

Enjoy

So what you are saying is:

"Dumb search" vs "Smart search"

Makes sense to me.

I do wonder if it makes sense to the "brute force" crowd ! LOL.

Bye,

No, he's arguing that it's no longer brute force. His definition of
"brute force" does not equate to "exhaustive" - yours does. His
definition is based on the traditional opposition of "brute" versus
"intelligent"; if a search uses intelligence by checking the most likely
passwords first, it's an intelligent search, not a brute force search,
but if it keeps going until it has exhausted all possibilities, then it
is also an exhaustive search.

Yes, I've worked that one out. :-)

It's an argument about definitions. With no standard to which to refer, 
there is no way to resolve the argument, and no point in trying.

I did a quick online search for dictionary definitions of "brute-force",
and they all matched your definition; similarly, "dictionary attack" is
always defined in terms of using a dictionary enormously smaller than
the complete list of possible passwords. However, I couldn't find any
mention anywhere of the correct way to describe a an algorithm that
exhaustively checks every single possible password, but does so strictly
in decreasing order of the likelihood of that password being chosen.
Every definition I found seemed to assume that the brute force attack
selected it's password guesses either in alphabetical order, or in a
random order - not one mentioned the possibility of using an
intelligently selected order of guessing.

The first N guesses of such an algorithm are indistiguishable from the
first N guesses of a dictionary attack where the dictionary contains the
N passwords most likely to be chosen. It therefore has every advantage
that such an attack could provide - yet it also has the advantage of
guaranteed success if allowed to run long enough, which the dictionary
attack cannot provide.

I can't comprehend why you have been bothering so long with this 
discussion.  Perhaps you have never been in sci.electronics.design, but 
you are arguing with a couple of its most unpleasant regulars - people 
with very little knowledge about anything, but a great deal of strong 
(and strongly worded) opinions on everything and everyone.  It's a 
complete waste of time.
