Actually hes right. We could use Amazon EC2 (i think). See this blog here. http://stacksmashing.net/2010/11/15/cracking-in-the-cloud-amazons-new-ec2-gpu-instances/

I believe we need it formulated into some kind of application of script first but I'd definitely kick in a few bucks for the server time. I'd be fine waiting a few weeks, and you wouldn't need a fast connection at all, its basically remote desktop in, set up program to run, log in next week to see if it found the key (or set up an email alert). If someone can write the cracking app/script we will find the power to run it!

I pitch for that

Yeah I'd throw in some bucks how fast could it do this128 bit assuming it is the worst case

The way I THINK it works is you pay per compute time, ie, if they have the capacity, very little time. It doesn't matter to them if you use 100 servers for 2 minutes or 10 servers for 20. And with amazons size I'd imagine they have plenty of capacity. The real issue we need now is a cracking program or script. The horsepower we can find.

Wordlywisewiz · Jan 2, 2012

Yep let's do this

Now who can write the script?

Using the CUDA-Multiforce, I was able to crack all hashes from this file with a password length from 1-6 in only 49 Minutes (1 hour costs 2.10$ by the way.)

Fom that page

So how long for this128bit encryption?

I say we drop a bunch of twitter bombs on asus and see if that works

Guys.... if it was possible to crack an AES128 encryption with almost no money in less than a year of computing time, it wouldn't be the standard encryption for almost all encryted data... including governments of course.
Believe me guys, this won't work.

This is about the best case scenario. Brute force just ain't gonna work, people have been considering this for years, and have learned its just not feasable. The only reason the atrix eventually was able to flash kernels was a leak from moto.
IPhones being jailbroken are more along the lines of us finding a root exploit, which is much easier and likely than cracking an encrypted bootloader. All's root gives is the ability to write to /system, we need an unlocked bootloader or a way around the encryption to flash to partitions(roms/kernels/recovery)
Cracking could take years, finding an expliot around the bootloader could potentially take years unless we get lucky.
Sucks either way for us and our best bet is bringing it to asus' attention an their public channels just like was done with HTC. I told myself I wouldn't buy another device where the company completely screws over the dev community and Asus is no different. The countdown has started.

haha, i've been letting them think they can haha

considering cracking a HASH is considerably easier than 128-bit

Well that's not nice

Let's start a thread

operation bombard Asus on twitter and support till they cave like HTC!

i've already sent them an email requesting information on rooting.
i work for a university IT and we are interested in the TP for higher-access users.
of course, we need root for our VPN, Security and EMAIL apps to work... so until i can demo a device with all working applications needed for my users, then its a no-go.
i want to use the TPs in our office, but if we're forced to go Lenovo, (with their upcoming tegra 3) we will, as they are known to be much nicer to Uni's

@Asus @Nvidia @Google unlock our boot loader! give us root! #TransformerPrime
Tweet it x

rooting is a non issue, and they shouldn't be expected to leave us a root exploit. (Or Google, which is why they're patched asap). This is why Google devices ship with unlockable bootloaders, you don't need an 'exploit', which could(and would --its happened) lead to malware and malicious market apps getting root access to an unknown users device. How it should work(and does with pure Google devices), is you unlock the bootloader with fastboot-oem-unlock, agree you could potentially f#$k **** up, and bootloader is unlocked. Now all you have to do is literally change a 1 to a 0 in the boot.img (which you can now flash since your bootloader is unlocked)
Change 'ro-secure=1' to 'ro-secure=0' and now you can open a root terminal and /system is writeable(now you can safely push su binary and SU.apk.
Basically we need to be able to flash the damn kernel we can compile with the source Asus gave to us.

Doesn't Asus release the source code for their kernel on their ftp?

yes, but if you read any other posts in this forum, you would realize that that means nothing if we cannot implement rebuilt kernels into the device itself. we cannot flash anything

Exactly.

i actually cannot wait until we can implement CWM.

i really want to get started on some custom ROMS. since i use this device for work/school, thats what my ROM would be geared to
