What are /r/Solving_A858's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

This seems weird, does anyone else find this weird?

The only other time OP has posted on Reddit is in a subreddit named after himself, also he commented once on a post here. The post was titled (in hex) "Can someone else finish this for me?", with the post being a base 64 encoded link to this. Which appears to be the tools used for decrypting A858 (even though it's named a898.7z).

Something seems suspicious to me.

Code is from iteration 1. Iteration 2 was used to build this website, and creates better output. http://www.filedropper.com/showdownload.php/a858-qa

1. all.csv from /u/Plorntus
2. mkdir posts, www
3. importPosts.php
4. convertPostsToBinary.php
5. decryptPosts.php
6. updateFileTypes.php
7. buildSite.php

Iteration 3 will attempt to solve nested encryption.

So is this according to Duckduckgo: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=hash+aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa&ia=answer

It says it's a 128-bit MD5 hash because it's a string of hex characters with 32 characters. That's literally the only reason.

According to Duckduckgo, these are 128 bit md5 hashes.

They used to have md5 rainbow tables, but that feature seems to be gone now :(

If you're going to brute force, try md5 and for the love of god, use GPUs if you are not already. oclhashcat is a great tool.

> I don't know how to show you

This is a very good, light, and ad-free screenshot tool that you could use for future events like this :) It also has the option to automatically upload to imgur.

You're deflecting the fact that you're 100% wrong ~~by jumping on mistakes I may have made myself~~ [not a mistake], just admit that your base premise is wrong... Or, I'll crush your argument for you, it's easier... Here's a quote from bitcoin.org

"Some effort is required to protect your privacy with Bitcoin. All Bitcoin transactions are stored publicly and permanently on the network, which means anyone can see the balance and transactions of any Bitcoin address. However, the identity of the user behind an address remains unknown until information is revealed during a purchase or in other circumstances. This is one reason why Bitcoin addresses should only be used once"

Edit: "never has", no... Bitcoin never has contained directly identifiable information leading back to a source ip address...

meh, i used to think that too till i actually started studying Cryptography (by myself, no university) The links to those sites will be below, i won't post NPP darkcrypt as most would find it shady and not trustworthy, so i will post the others... https://www.cryptool.org/en/ct2-downloads https://www.openssl.org/source/

I forgot the other good decryption software, i will search for them tomorrow...

Would it be possible to open-source the code on GitLab (better than GitHub) or something? Maybe other people can add valuable features, that you can then merge to the codebase.

^^^^just ^^^^a ^^^^thought.
