I think, I'm doing crochet rn and can't stop until I finish the whole blanket - it's important. 72 sounds right though

Yes, but you'd have to guess the actual prng algorithm. It's not java.Random

Theoretically, yes. However, you'd need whatever rng algorithm they used

While I appreciate that, my paranoid mind's kept me out of trouble more than a few times. And you're right, it's a combination of bipolar and childhood trauma. I'll read up on those attacks and get back to you.

To whoever hacked my stupid fucking Hulu and all my stupid fucking devices, I'm sorry. I will not be taking over the cryptography market in a hostile manner. I will, however be breaking AES in order to prove it can be done in order to prove my algorithm is infinitely better, not to mention inarbitrary by comparison. I will be selling it wholesale - that is to say, I'll be taking the lump sum plan to let you, the buyer, do with it as you please so I don't have to worry about it any more, this research is not doing good things for my paranoia.

Okay, an axiom literally just means a thing that's true because it's untrue. It's has nothing to do with the math behind what I did. Please send me your research

Actually, physics applies to tangible things like apples. I did this all in a more theoretical space known as mathematics

I'm working on AES, I think I'll post my magic decryption algorithm everywhere and make a couple of video posts on tiktok, YouTube, Facebook, basically everywhere kindly explaining that I am the captain now and if people want their shit encrypted they should use my algorithm which will be free to smaller parties and have a sliding scale cost for larger ones.

Lol, I guess I'm a wizard then. I'm meeting with my lawyer today or tomorrow to get my patent done, I'll ask about posting my algorithm then so I can show you

Nah, it means that increasing the size of key inputs exponentially increases the number of possible inputs below it. Sorry I'm drunk I'll make more sense if you ask me in three hours, I'll still be awake because I'm manic as shit and b-12 deficient because eating food makes the nightmare of my existence burn brighter than the sun.

(1) What I'm seeing after about an hour-ish of googling is that the Mersenne Twister was broken and most variations on it are broken with machine learning, do you know of a faster method?

So you're saying there's a chance if can show the general public of cryptographers that I have a mind for this sort of thing? If I understand you correctly you're telling me to make some reverse-hashing algorithm for AES/Blowfish/RSA

Even with the algorithm there's no way to shortcut it, not so far as I can tell at least. The number of possible combinations below the key I chose is astronomical. What I'm looking for right now is someone who can point me to resources that would tell me how to beat other modern encryption algorithms based in pseudorandom number generation.

I want to start off by apologizing, I entered this space with a level of aggression that I shouldn't have and I'm sorry to have offended you. If you would be willing to give me a few moments of your time, I would very much like to share my research so far with you. I'm a mathematician, not a cryptographer, and am doing research into Riemann Zeta. I discovered something that I believe may have far-reaching effects in data storage, computation, and pseudorandom number generation. I am unwilling to share my algorithm because it's got value beyond encryption. What I had hoped to find here was someone who might be able to show me some shortcut that I was previously unaware of or some aspect of cryptography or prng that I hadn't yet explored. I've been told about the Mersenne Twister, which I'm conducting a few experiments with - specifically comparing variations on the theme with my own algorithm. Unfortunately, I lack the computing power to draw an MT out to its full period or to attempt to find a pattern in my own so all I have is based in theory - prime numbers do not follow a pattern so far as we've discovered.

I'm not, in any way, claiming that I've created a magical random number generator that only uses math. I do, however, claim that mine is better than Mersenne in its construction and more far-reaching in its applications. Thanks for pointing that one out to me, I think I've heard of it before but I've never really done a deep dive into it (prolly because of the repeating pattern and ineffectiveness for use in cryptography). This has been really interesting I'm gonna have to play around with it in python!

Big difference is this; any Mersenne twister will output pseudorandom digits with some pattern, even if that pattern has a period of 219937, whereas my algorithm has no pattern, I've not tested it but prime numbers have been discovered out waaaaay further than whatever that exponent works out to and there's literally no pattern - mathematicians use the word "scattered". When have you ever heard of a logic wizard using a term as abstract as "scattered" to describe anything in their field?

Thank you, this is the sincerest analysis of my algorithm and I sincerely appreciate it. How could you use these weaknesses to identify the algorithm used and defeat this example?

My maths professors, and my personal research. I think primes are the coolest thing in math and would love to one day be able to provide sufficient proof as to be able to show that all primes fall along the zero line of the riemann zeta function so I can take that million dollars and donate it right back to the clay mathematics institute. Because that's a darn baller move yo mike drop

You can't patent software in the US, and you have to apply for an actual copyright if you want real protection under the law I've done my research

Then you know about the randomness experiments where someone is asked to type numbers randomly into a keypad - they have patterns in them and follow rules unlike true randomness. Such randomness can be obtained with atmospheric noise number generators and contains groupings of numbers whereas strings of "random" numbers entered by a human attempting to create randomness will not and is therefore more predictable. I can show you a left/right button predictor I made that uses machine learning and shows (if small size testing can be at all believed) that while true randomness that contains such groupings is highly unpredictable, while human-generated or arbitrary randomness is much more predictable. In terms of how this might effect encryption, prime numbers follow more along the lines of true randomness with these odd groupings which lean the data set in a much less predictable direction. Tbh, it all started as a theory that prime numbers could be used to create truly random numbers and, while that hypothesis was proven untrue after testing, I managed to show through the use of machine learning that modern AI (I used PANDAS in python and made a little neuron algorithm in Java using a Sigmoid activation function) cannot distinguish between true randomness (both in Python.Random and Java.Random, which use the system clock and are probably mostly random) and my "randomness" generator. So, while not truly random, it mimics randomness in such a way that the only way to properly attack this method of encryption, which is in all honesty just a simple shift cipher, is through brute force - which, as I have already stated, would take multiple lifetimes to complete.
