BOINC Project for bruteforcing Milestone's RSA Keys (This time for real!)

I'm sure most of you know the previous thread about this topic, but it died pretty fast..
I spent the last few weeks on developing a boinc project to bruteforce the RSA key Motorola uses to sign the boot and recovery partitions on the Motorola Milestone.
The project is located here:
http://poseidon.shacknet.nu:8080/MilestoneRSA/
The front page pretty much describes what this is all about, i won't repeat all of it here, but the basics are:
simple, naive bruteforce implementation (yes i know it's pretty much impossible to bruteforce RSA 1024, but why not give it a try and see if we're lucky)
windows and linux 32 and 64 bit architectures are supported, currently windows 64 bit is much faster than the other 3, i'm working on it.
if anyone has access to a mac, experience in building on it and interest in porting the MilestoneRSA_main app to mac, i would appreciate if you contacted me. The app must be statically linked to either GMP or MPIR.
sooo. what is needed now are lots of participants, every single cpu increases the chance to break the key!
There were so many people in the other thread, willing to participate, i hope all of you stand to your word!

My 3 dual-core PCs will join the fight !

I'm in, of course.
Would it be possible to use the power of GPU along with CPU somehow?
Edit: read the site now, it actually lets us use CUDA capable GPUs. Cool. In theory.

Six core pc. Im not sure wether i did well or not... It look like this

In theory, yes, Boinc supports cuda applications. In practice: Someone would have to port GMP or MPIR or some other Big Integer library to cuda, because we have to deal with really large (1024bit) integers here. If there's someone experienced with cuda please contact me, but i'm not able to do it..

as i said above, no cuda client so far, probably someone will help me implement one..

As sysadmin at a certain institution, we're giving quite a few cycles to this (almost lost) cause Thank you, keep it up!

"If you subtract the sig_start_addr and sig_end_addr I suppose you get the length of the signature. I checked them all. They are all 2048-bit . Did not find any 512-bit ones."
How did we get to 1024bit?

You are my hero
I hope everybody is willing to donate some cycles for this excellent cause

Uhm don't wanna piss on the parade here, but did anyone check out how long it takes to calculate the key? AFAIK such a key would take millions and millions of processing hours.
This means that just the power it costs to power those CPUs will probably get you a truckload of Nexus ones.
And to add to that, it is probably much better for the environment to buy a new phone instead of running your computer for three million years.

The values in the CDT refer to the whole signature block, including (at least) two certificates and a 1024bit (128 byte) actual signature (as in "encrypted hash") at the end. if i have time a little later i can explane how the signature block is built in detail. but believe me, i have the correct public key, and i have successfully decrypted the encrypted hash with it. what we need is the private key for this public key, because then we can hash our own partition and encrypt the hash with the private key (aka signing). For an overview about digital signatures read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature

if you read what i wrote on the front page of the project, you'd know that i'm well aware of that fact that it would take forever (in the worst case). but we might be lucky and find the key today, or in a week, or in a month. Or, of course, we do never find it, and the project will die a slow death. Anyway i wanted to try it, if you do not want to use your computer to help, no one forces you to

You've got my cycles!

Yeah ! I'm in too!

and im in, running on my netbook for now until i get home to install it on my desktop and get that bad boy running, lets crack it! even if it will take alot of time and power it is still possible

Does anyone have any documentation on whether Motorola uses the same RSA key for all models of phones?
If not, then pontomedon, would it be possible to set up a different project for searching for the XT720 key?

Sorry guys, but the time to crack a 1024 bit RSA key in brute-force mode i really too long...It's really too optimistic hoping to crack it from now to ten years.. I think it is only a waste of resource...

Lets try to put all power 2gether 4 the 1 project!
Step by Step!
So up and running!
Possible to see any statistics?
Keep on Hacking!!!! Free the Bootloader free the Milestone xiss on Moto!

[APP]Winulator - windows 95/98 game emulator BETA - RELEASED

As far as i know this is the first attempt at a windows 95/98 based game emulator for the android system, apparently the first beta will be released on the market "soon", first game being caeser 3, and other games based on the demand of thoses games, so if any of you guys have a favorite let him know as he will be working on games based on the demand for them.
Blog - more info
http://blog.winulator.com/
" On the technical side -*the target devices bear an ARM processor, even though the original program required an Intel processor. I have written a desktop helper application that converts the machine code from Intel to ARM, so*relieving the need for*Winulator to waste precious ARM cycles for emulation. Also, some Windows APIs were implemented to provide the run-time environment necessary for the hosted program to work.*"
Hope this is not a repost, if so, could a moderator please remove, or let me know how

I wonder if its possible to run any other game besides Caesar 3.
How does the Emulator work actually? Is it some kind of Wine that includes an X86 emulator?

freelancer would a helluva game to port! i have never found a good enough replacement for that game.

Starcraft is working fine with this. It's amazing it is running at full speed
The only problem I encountered so far, is that protoss zealots are invisible due to some graphical bug. Their shadow can be seen however.
Overall, this has really high potential and I've seen on the forums that Age of empires is already in the making for it.
Good job!

I find it outstanding how the Devs managed to write an emulator? that runs so smoothly, im gobsmacked that it involves x86 games, windows no less, looking at the videos it runs better then some retro emulators like dosbox and the like, even though dos is an older system, and these windows games being more graphic intensive, in my opinion this guys project has major potential
I often wonder if he's found the mecha of android emulation in its effiency or if it just applies in this particular case, being windows emulation only?

[BOUNTY] Padfone A66 AOSP/CM-based ROM

Padfone A66 AOSP/CM-based ROM

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Since there will probably be no further updates for the Padfone A66 beyond 4.1.1, I am putting up this bounty thread in the hopes of giving some new life to this versatile 3-in-1 device. Even though I'm no developer, I think that by compiling a new ROM from source and adding OC-capable kernel, the "old" A66 with its 1 GB RAM and Snapdragon S4 SoC could become just as snappy as its bigger brothers are today.
Bounty Requirements:​
A source-compiled ROM (AOSP/CM, JB or above) that can be used as a daily driver, featuring:
working drivers/sensors
stability
performance comparable to or better than stock
I understand that absolute stability and 100 % compatibility (e.g. dynamic display switching) might not be fully feasible using a non-proprietary base, therefore a one-week evaluation of the candidate ROM by two independent people should be carried out to determine if the goal has been reached.
I am willing to contribute 150 $ to this project, and would ask anybody out there who owns one of these wonderful devices to join in on this - it is for our own profit, and beats buying a new phone/tablet/netbook! Just post your pledge in this thread to get on board. Ideally, this project will start something that develops a life of its own and does not stop at the boundaries of this bounty, but simply having a working alternative to stock or stock-based ROMs would be more than enough to begin with.
There have been previous attempts at getting this done (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2609381), but they either gave up or the devs have since moved on to newer devices. Currently the best alternatives to stock are two de-bloated but still huge, tweaked ROMs, both discontinued.
Motivation/Background​
Even though the Padfone A66 is less than two years old (June '12), there have been four (!) new Padfones since then, not counting the Padfone X and Mini models released just recently. I find it hard to accept that the smartphone/tech industry in general expects us to exchange phones over two times a year just to stay up to date, software-wise. It's a shame that the PF1 is so often overlooked, especially seeing that it is the only Padfone to date that features an attachable hardware keyboard/battery just like the Transformer TF101. While Asus' Padfone strategy might be rather extreme, it does not stray too far from what other manufacturers are doing with their own brands. Looking at the never-ending success story of the HTC HD2, I think that even with today's rapidly changing hardware, it is possible for devices to have a longer life span - provided they are given some dedication and love from talented developers. If enough people showed interest in keeping their (just slightly) older devices up to date, it might be possible to counteract the planned obsolescence that is currently being force-fed to those of us who don't want to be left out of new updates, security patches and features.
Let's make a CM11-based PF1 ROM a reality, together!
-L

Im not sure how much it will help, as it may be easier to start from scratch, but here is the github link for the last persons attempt at CM11, which i believe was getting somewhere close to working https://github.com/rafatzbr/android_device_asus_A66
I may be interested in adding to the bounty, if the ROM will work well with the dock and tablet. Thanks

Adding 75$ to the bounty for a working 4.4.4 based on anything.
Bonus 100$ if get special features of KatKiss from TF101 (KitKat version) when applicable. (Most important, being able to run /data on sd from kernel level and treat internal /data as sdcard1 instead, sd card notification hidden, hotkey support)
Max total from me 175$US, possible to negotiate additional bonus bounty for features once a 4.4.4 system is on running. (Can convert to EUR before sending to avoid double currency exchange rate on paypal, will base on Google's USD to EUR result)
Max total with me and Legion.X 325$
Potentially usefull stuff
Shares some similarities with HTC one S and Sony Xperia T (wich has working OmniRom 4.4.4 and CM11)

Leapdroid - a brand new and most performing Android virtual machine

Hi All,
We have just released a new Android virtual machine, called Leapdroid, it is a Windows program that allows you to run Android Apps in Windows. Our focus has been on graphics performance. It outperforms all other players on market, such as BlueStacks, Genymotions, Andyroid, etc... it supports a lot of games, and it it is totally free, you can download it from our website:
http://www.leapdroid.com
From development point of views, we have implemented most features that Google's emulator has, such as compatible adb. Our virtual machine is the only vm that can start adb before vm starts, same as a real device, so you can get the first line of adb logcat. We have also optimized other aspects of the system.
Check it out!

Here is a video with Leapdroid playing a few games, including a shooting game. This video demonstrates the advanced key mapping feature.

Booting Speed is really amazing
I tried using several android emulators such as B****, G*****. Tried this new one. Having not gone through intensive usage now, I am already shocked by its launching speed. Amazing! Really beats others. It is a fresh boot, not like B****'s not shutting down and faking instant boot.

I forgot to mention that our vm supports multiple instances. After installations, two android virtual machines will be created.

Has been looking around for a VM to play Minecraft. This is the only capable so far.
Thanks, Leapdroid!

How I can switch input language?
"Control + Spacebar" not working for me.

What is the Windows input method software you are using?

One question: (You would rock some worlds with that)
Could you somehow release a version compiled for arm-thumb2 so windows-rt-JB users could finally open android apps on their first gen surface RT <3
Probably impossible, but I never give up the hope

Hi Blade,
Thanks for the nice suggestions. A thinner run-time version that can run on ARM systems is definitely our direction, but it will take quite sometime to implement. For the moment, we are focusing on developing a new generation of android virtual machine on X86 architecture. As you may have noted, current android virtual machines are still not that compatible if compared with a real android device, many apps still don't run well inside emulators. Leapdroid will lead in these aspects.

Good performance
Run very smoothly so far. Is there a way to install apps without using Google account?

Assuming you have your APK ready:
I've found the following information on their website h t t p : / / leapdroid . com / helpcenter . html. It seems that they reply on standard adb to install programs.
I typically use apkmirror to download APKs. What kind of channel do you use?
BTW: I do not understand XDA does not let me to post web links. Maybe for safety reason....

http://www.leapdroid.com/helpcenter.html has more info
Before we enable drag/drop (which should come soon), you will have to use adb to install apk.

Adb works for me. Great work!
When can we see a Mac version?

We are working on Mac and actually Linux version too, but currently focusing on Windows.

How do I unroot or install Xposed?

You can do adb remount, then you can change system partition

I'd love to try this, but I feel very suspicious.
There's no "about" page on the Leapdroid website, so we don't know who we are giving our Google Account credentials to when we login.
Three of the comments on this thread were written by new members who signed up just after this thread was started... that's a red flag for me.

If you look at my profile, you will see I am not new, you can also google my name, will find out.
Our website will have more info soon, we are a VC funded company, located in Fremont, California. I did Android vm a few years back, also released here, please check my old posts.
We have another thread, which is here, with more comments:

I appreciate the info. I'll keep an eye on this project and will reconsider installing it once more info is put up on the site.

It works really Well. Is there any thought of updating it to newer Android versions? Definitely the best Emulator I have used so far.

To root or to app-root?

Dear all: This is my first post. I spent two days reading posts concerning the highly anticipated unlocking of the S7 G930T bootloader. It sounds as though the developers at XDA and anot entity known as Chainfire are chomping at the bit in expectation -- TWRP is written and waiting at the border. That is awesome and I wish you all the best of luck. There are several apps that I wish to install on my phone. Most of them address device security (firewalls, etc...) and secure communications. Thank you in advance for your many hours of work.
My question is one of methodology and the ultimate goals of device rooting using the Android 6+ OS. Why not use a virtual root as a cheap and tawdry temporary work around? A similar method appears to have worked well for a Corbin Champion who create Gnuroot. His app creates rooted Linux environments on Android devices and requires no Android root.
Will this work for applications that require a rooted Android? Is my question rooted in reality? What are the limitations of a rooted app or virtual root system?
Why would anyone want to use a cheap trick? Is it possible that using an app or a virtual root may avoid potential crashes and instabilities? Samsung may have locked the bootloader to prevent or slow the use of the S7 G930T in illegal activity. Wouldn't the development of an app for non-developers all us to benefit from many wonderful apps while preventing non-developers from engaging in less than ethical hacking with root as a lockpick?
I also read an XDA post concerning chain-loading an OS from a USB device. This also seems like a clever work around. It may also be an effective security tool that may allow a cellular device to be driven by a portable OS. It may allow one to protect device data and USB-OS data while enjoying network communications. What are your thoughts?
If I could pull this off on my own, I would do it and release it for free since that seems to be the thing to do -- to contribute in an academic manner to the karma/knowledge pool. I hope that capable hands consider a project like this to be worth while. If is already done, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
Cheers!

Dear all:
After I posted and asked questions that I though were interesting, I continued to read and look for helpful apps.
I lot of new apps appeared in the Google play store. Or maybe I just had not paid attention well enough before.
However the coincidence occurred, the most useful apps were the IP tools such as trace and location search.
Before that day I never once obtained an IP trace result and location that was at all useful or even remotely interesting. This time I was able to summon the leviathan.
The corresponding IP address to a machine that was and may still be in constant communication with my Samsung Galaxy S7:
172.217.3.238
The corresponding GPS coordinates:
37.4192000, -122.0574000
In the links below you will see that this corresponds to an office building on the property of the Moffett Federal Air Field near Mountain View and Stevens Creek California. How did that happen. My attorney doesn't know either. He says that no one is looking for me or is in great want of a chat with me. I am a medical student. ????
Ok. So I sent a complaint to the California State Attorney General Kamala Harris... several time by fax, online portal, and email. I called her office to confirm. Her staff confirm, don't confirm, and say that they have no way of tracing documents received by their server. So my attorney called and emailed.
Anyway... this smells of phone spoofing and phone trapping again so I will have to fight just to submit a complaint.

I'm not sure about this whole thread... That IP is Google, which has nothing to do with your post about a 'virtual root', OS on USB, or whatever.
See this: http://172.217.3.238.ipaddress.com/
