The online whistleblower WikiLeaks is following up its massive exposé of Afghan War secrets by posting a mysterious, encrypted file called “Insurance”. The file size is huge at 1.4Gb, about a hundred times bigger than most of the other files posted. But so far no one has been able to decrypt it. It looks as though when one posts a file like that he feels under threat in some way and, therefore, if any harm comes to WikiLeak’s chief, Julian Assange, any member of the WikiLeaks team, or possibly even the site itself, the key to the file will be published on the website of the project and it will reveal some sort of huge secret.
@MrMemag yeah so true the mainstream media is making him and his site a huge thing, so that gotta mean something coz they always do that with false flags OPS, and the bigger threat is that the wikileak issue could really effect the internet global, we have censoreship in here in Saudi Arabia, but I still can get around but if they do it in USA then bye-bye researching
@xetlive Then the good ol’ basseball bat bashing would do the trick.
Assange has always said… if u find any GPS coords / names, tell Wikileaks and they will investigate your claim.
@MrMemag
Your soooo correct. A Baseball Bat is the weapon of choice against encryption. Its a sure-fire remedy for all your decryption needs!
@xetlive It would be physically shut down,as would be Julian.
I know we need a hero and will come up with anything to protect his image,but Assange is smokey guy and I’d rather keep distance and my trust.Cheers.
Wake up now please wake up now please understand me right.

It’s probably multifolded 256bit AES :-) That should keep the DOD supercomputers busy for a bit…
Satan is on the USA’s side

they will see us kill each other & in the end, they will emerge from their nuclear bunkers

I can’t wait til that demise comes to usa

@SegregationForever
THat’s what I really want to be, but I’m stuck in this damn job
I love wikileaks! Whistleblowing can be a true act of patriotism. However, I think they should also be careful not to put the life of normal ppl in danger when they leak documents. That cannot be the purpose and it also harms their own reputation.
So, what’s in this file? It’s a 7-zip, encrypted file (using 256-aes encryption).
Does anyone know anything apart from this, the obvious fact?
Which is why they review
the files before they post them,
they been saying that over and over again.
but it makes pentagon pee in their pants when
they dont have any control over what to release
@dreamtime182 It’s not that easy for them. Should they just shoot him? Send the men in black with the flash-thing?
The backlash would be huge. Besides: They do not keep still: You can find their strategy paper on discrediting WikiLeaks or its informants or scare future informants off — leaked on WikiLeaks ;-) (really, look it up!)
I completely support net neutrality and free speech against the government but this is just a matter of safety, news sites have already found informants names in the files and the Taliban have announced that they are searching for names and will punish anybody they find. Wikileaks thinks it is doing the right thing resisting an “evil” government but they are just immature anti government activist. Look how immature their twitter posts are, they obviously do not understand war at all.
@captain3xtreme “news sites have already found informants names in the files” I really wonder where this idea comes from. If you read closely and check up against diarydig you’ll see that eg. newsweek’s reported deaths by name and geoposition then you’ll find no informants mentioned. So I have to conclude that this idea is completely partisan propaganda.
@tannalv
This is a PUBLICITY STUNT by WikiLeaks. Assange is not the bright cookie that everyone thinks he is. THE ENCRYPTION SOFTWARE WAS MADE BY THE US GOVERNMENT….so if the government made it then guess who can decrypt it? Nice try but tell Assange to go back to the drawing table and start over with a new stunt.
@Stressed2Capacity So if it is something that the US Government don’t want others to know, they can see that it’s… something they don’t want others to know? Is that what you are saying?
@Stressed2Capacity
It is completely irrelevant who standardized the aes algorithm, because NOBODY can break it if it uses a 256 bit key.
Not now, not ever.
The largest key known to have been broken by brute force was 64 bits, and a 256 but key has 6e57 times more combinations.
That is, if you need one supercomputer to break a 64 but key, the number of supercomputers you’d need to break the Wikileaks key is 6 followed by 57 zeroes.
Wikileaks are just showing humanity with their own raw data instead of fable.
The encrypted 1.4 GB file shouldn’t be anything new to us. I guess Israel has done some similar tricks to some important individuals in our govt long time ago to warrant our foreign policy must bias for them.
@Tressco Julian said he won’t release any 9/11 secrets
@Stressed2Capacity He doesn’t care if the US govt. knows what it is. In fact, he probably wants them to know what it is to show the insurance is real. Civilians will never crack this until Wikileaks releases the code. You are fucking daft.
Why can’t this firm undertake to enlighten us about the US government’s conspiracy to hide UFO activity? It would be a worthwhile pursuit for a firm that has demonstrated an ability to get to the truth when others can’t. The truth would rock the world to its core.
