This is an official thread about AndrOINC - BOINC project created by Sesef and OxyOne from Polish National Team.

Informations
Official name: AndrOINC
Motto: For Motorola Milestone freedom
Website:
Creators: Sesef and OxyOne from Polish National Team(BOINC.pl)

Special thanks to:
pontomedon - for creating the MilestoneRSA project and putting everybody one step closer to Milestone freedom

Platforms:
Windows x86 - supported
Windows x64 - supported(with app from x86)
Linux x32 - currently working on
Linux x64 - currently working on
GPU application ATI + nVidia - very soon


What is it?
AndrOINC is a BOINC project trying to break a 1024 bit RSA key used by Motorola to sign the boot and recovery partitions on the Motorola Milestone. If this key could be broken, we would be able to sign our own boot/recovery images, which would enable us to run custom kernels and recovery images on the Milestone.

Reserved for future use.

Let's get started, I'm sure all of us together can achieve it.

 

[The Solutor]

What about the possibility of searching not just the milestone key but also the ones from other moto models to increase the audience ?

 

[DannyDroid]

It's already going to take till the end of time to find the Milestone without adding extra verables to the mix.

 

[The Solutor]

That would length the time on all they keys.

My skill on symmetric encryption is almost zero, so sorry for the dumb questions.

This mean that every motorola phone has a different pair of public and private keys ? There isn't a single public motorola key, right ?

 

[yixuexiaoao]

I have joined this project

 

[thenotdone]

Team Canada ready for joining.

Thanks for the project hosting

 

[kezs]

just a sec - AndrOINC? nobody told me there'd be pigs involved!

seriously, though: congratulations and thanks for the effort. count me in.

Unfortunately, the MilestoneRSA has been aborted and we have to start from scratch....
However the good news is that we are going to use optimized worker from PNT and they are goin to provide GPU support as well.. so we'll cover up the wasted work sooner than later.

 

[naresh9876]

joined in (tough its just a laptop). can't wait for the bootloader to be cracked.

 

[MuF123]

source code of the worker so we would actually know what are we computing?

 

[DigiK]

Alternative Quicker Method?

Started helping you guys out with some computing cycles.

I know nothing about encryption, but a team from Univ. of Michigan broke 1024-bit encryption quickly by altering voltage to cause CPU faults. We can easily control voltage on Milestone and DX...anyone looked into their paper and its application to unlocking the boot loader faster than a brute force method?

[Malo87]

I'll join as soon as the linux client will be available .. Can i use it first and then switch to the one with CUDA support?

 

[djefkbefke]

yes, I think BOINC will just have to update the worker itself to support CUDA, not the whole client

However, since they mention Nvidia and ATI support, they won't be using CUDA (nvidia only)

man these WUs are fast. I'm doing 6 minutes compared to 12 hours on my x86 Win7 VM with 2Gb on my MacPro.

They way I see it, you would have to alter the voltage at boottime since that is when the keys are being checked.. this is not the same as tweaking the vsel if this is what you refer to with "we can easily control the voltage"

So I don't know if would be that easy to do.. But hey, I'm not an expert or something

or the workunits are very small...
