It would be ballsy to include blatantly malicious code in an open source project. Being a popular project, there's no doubt a sizable amount of eyes on the source code at all times, and the moment this code gets discovered, any credibility you had as a developer goes out the window forever. Look at the node-ipc fiasco: the malicious code was obfuscated yet it was still detected and reverse engineered in a remarkably short amount of time. It's the same deal with the NRL's Tor and the NSA's Ghidra.
There are so many 0-days, in software even if it's opensource. I mean even a really well audited software like OpenSSL had Heartbeat, he's massivly overestimating the helpfulness of auditing. I'm fairly certain the NSA/CIA can build backdoors which are nearly impossible to see in the code.

Hi, I'm pretty sure AES was not "developed" by the NSA. NIST (which ig is a us govt agency) selected the Rijndael symmetric cipher to be standardized, at most they just set fixed block/key sizes and number of rounds etc. The s-box wasn't developed by them either, or at least the design wasn't. Most of it is just for ease of implementation. but idk correct me if im wrong. (btw most of your videos are pretty cool
Wasn't AES compromised by the NSA fudging the dual elliptic curve algo? Edit: No and that particular algo was considered a glowop as soon as it was published by the NIST
DES you are talking about DES and rainbow tables. The feds created a mathematical "backdoor" which reduces the brute force time of the algorithm drastically when you have the right tables.
No. Dual_EC_DRBG is a pseudorandom number generator that could be backdoored, which if used would cause ALL generated encryption keys to be weak. The NIST P-256 and similar curves also arouse suspicion because the NSA generated the constants for those without any explanation. However, AES itself (which wasn't made by the NSA but selected by it in a competition) seems to be quite strong - no attacks to this day are practical, and nobody's come forward with a proof that it could be backdoored.
Great video! Thanks for the amazing content. The word "Schadenfreude" is German and means something like to be kind of happy about the trouble another person is in. Keep up the great work and have a great day!
@@sharpieman2035 some university kept adding commits that had "accidental" security bugs, after they were banned they commented that it was an experiment to see how they would react, but nobody was informed beforehand. I think they are still banned.
Well done. I agree. I have been HODLing XMR on My Monero for a while with no issues. We all know that BTC and all of its forks are more easily tracked than your bank account. Even CIA say BTC is the "perfect surveillance tool" so I will take my chances w XMR. Thanks!
If the CIA is attacking bitcoin, that's your queue to go get it. Monero is a garbage coin, look at any btc/monero chart in the last 6 months, year, 5 years, btc is always outperforming it and growing bigger.
My theory is crypto has always been an op. This way they can go we have to protect the blah blah. Create regulations. Rug pull and then create their own with all the kinks worked out. This has been a test of the emergency monetary control system.
Ye they want a medium of exchange that's completely trackable as opposed to cash and that's why it's becoming near impossible to avoid electronic payments in actual offline transactions
Crypto just like Tor is an op, but it's point is to make it possible to destabilize countries other than the US. Just look at the Tor foundation webpage, it's all about how Tor helps with regime change operations overseas.
Yea they can do all this with CBDC....BTC isn't backed off debt....if so they plan backfired in that regard....they are making a killing off seizure and fining
@@stacknsat This is why I don't buy into crypto as a whole being a scam. All of their tricks rely on control of the money printer and debt. Tracing transactions is small potatoes compared to that.
Nothing is safe for criminals, these things are the equivalent of somebody at a bar saying 'I bet you a beer you can't move only one matchstick to form a triangle' It looks impossible, but that's the point....
Schadenfreude is when you get pleasure out of others pains or misfortunes. It’s like being sadistic but not necessarily being the one to cause another’s pain
14:30 This doesn't mean that they have a 50 % chance of finding the right one, but that it reduces the guessing game to 50 %, so you still cannot prove who was it, it is just a possibility, not evidence.
Well the biggest thing Spagni could've done is to give the role as lead maintainer to another insider to keep the development of the project in the hands of the authorities. They could weaken Monero over time like it was done with Bitcoin to make it effectively useless or they could also try to execute a takeover which could only be fought by a fork. This would make the network and community weaker nevertheless.
the "nobody checked the code" guy has a 1000 like, you have 22... so 22 who understand a minimum how public repo work vs 1000 that just like their opinion and don't want to bother with knowledge. we're screwed.
I’m pretty sure the NSA and like plunge protection or somebody created Bitcoin after the 2008 financial crisis because they knew QE was a bandaid solution. I’m picturing like a Manhattan Project but for finance and the creators signed strict NDAs. The thing is, like you said it’s open source so the creator is irrelevant as long as it works. Granted that would mean the NSA is sitting on the million Bitcoin “satoshi” wallet. It’s enough to tank the price if they dump it on the open market but that still wouldn’t kill it.
I like the theory that Crypto Currency is secretly just their alpha / beta project for testing CDBC in the wild and fix potential loopholes, errors, exploits and scam possibilities before it goes live. Would make a lot of sense and why it had such a surge and push. These type of things don't happen organically.
17:39 Okay, so "schadenfreude" is a German word with no _direct_ English translation, but it's supposed to describe the idea of deriving pleasure or satisfaction from the suffering of others. ...Yeah, I know.

(that's a bit of a simplification, and if you want to know how it works completely you should just read the research papers)

also, monero addresses are single use, a new address is made for each transaction, so even if you knew the right one it wouldn't really help you anyway.

I think you might be putting too much value in open source security. Don't get me wrong I'm a 100% advocate for pure open source software (&Hardware!) But code being reviewed by good people / security researchers is not the end-all of security. State level actors don't insert back doors into code, instead they insert vulnerabilities that can be exploited. This is incredibly hard for security researchers to catch, as the code does not "glow". Particularly if 0-days are utilized in the vulnerability being inserted.
I think that it’s bold of you to assume that Ricardo couldn’t have had additional insight into how to track Monroe versus what’s on the internet considering he worked on it.
Removing your identifying information from a coin is trivial. Crypto died when we all realised that it's literally just a way to get drugs on the internet and beyond that, has no value as a currency.
I don't agree with some of his views, but I'm in grad school for library science - a lot of what Mental Outlaw is fact checkable. Don't wanna take his word for it?

Living in fear of "omg everyone who ever teaches me anything is with the fed" is what happens when people get stuck in echo chambers- spend some time in open source development communities. This way of talking isn't rare or "government" it's common when talking about open source.

NIST (which ig is a us govt agency) selected the Rijndael symmetric cipher to be standardized, at most they just set fixed block/key sizes and number of rounds etc. The s-box wasn't developed by them either, or at least the design wasn't. Most of it is just for ease of implementation. but idk correct me if im wrong. (btw most of your videos are pretty cool
Correct, it was developed by cryptography researchers from Belgium.
I think he mixed AES with SHA
@@HülyeLó there's some questions around the selection of elliptic curves too I think
Sent you some btc my dude, pretend its monero (i was to drunk to convert it lol). Thanks for always keeping us up to date on all the news!
Wasn't AES compromised by the NSA fudging the dual elliptic curve algo?
Edit: No and that particular algo was considered a glowop as soon as it was published by the NIST
DES you are talking about DES and rainbow tables. The feds created a mathematical "backdoor" which reduces the brute force time of the algorithm drastically when you have the right tables.
Yeah here's a computerfile about it.
ua-cam.com/video/nybVFJVXbww/v-deo.html
@@DUDA-__- No, he's talking about Dual_EC_DRBG.
@@keyboard_slap well both were backdored by the feds. And DES is quiet a bit older.
No. Dual_EC_DRBG is a pseudorandom number generator that could be backdoored, which if used would cause ALL generated encryption keys to be weak. The NIST P-256 and similar curves also arouse suspicion because the NSA generated the constants for those without any explanation. However, AES itself (which wasn't made by the NSA but selected by it in a competition) seems to be quite strong - no attacks to this day are practical, and nobody's come forward with a proof that it could be backdoored.
Great video! Thanks for the amazing content. The word "Schadenfreude" is German and means something like to be kind of happy about the trouble another person is in. Keep up the great work and have a great day!

Well done. I agree. I have been HODLing XMR on My Monero for a while with no issues. We all know that BTC and all of its forks are more easily tracked than your bank account. Even CIA say BTC is the "perfect surveillance tool" so I will take my chances w XMR. Thanks!

My theory is crypto has always been an op. This way they can go we have to protect the blah blah. Create regulations. Rug pull and then create their own with all the kinks worked out.
This has been a test of the emergency monetary control system.
Ye they want a medium of exchange that's completely trackable as opposed to cash and that's why it's becoming near impossible to avoid electronic payments in actual offline transactions
Crypto just like Tor is an op, but it's point is to make it possible to destabilize countries other than the US. Just look at the Tor foundation webpage, it's all about how Tor helps with regime change operations overseas.
No, Bitcoin was legit, the rest can be though. Even Ethereum has strong ties to the world economic forum.
Yea they can do all this with CBDC....BTC isn't backed off debt....if so they plan backfired in that regard....they are making a killing off seizure and fining

Well the biggest thing Spagni could've done is to give the role as lead maintainer to another insider to keep the development of the project in the hands of the authorities. They could weaken Monero over time like it was done with Bitcoin to make it effectively useless or they could also try to execute a takeover which could only be fought by a fork. This would make the network and community weaker nevertheless.

I’m pretty sure the NSA and like plunge protection or somebody created Bitcoin after the 2008 financial crisis because they knew QE was a bandaid solution. I’m picturing like a Manhattan Project but for finance and the creators signed strict NDAs. The thing is, like you said it’s open source so the creator is irrelevant as long as it works. Granted that would mean the NSA is sitting on the million Bitcoin “satoshi” wallet. It’s enough to tank the price if they dump it on the open market but that still wouldn’t kill it.
Would be funny, especially since they minted themselves 100000 bitcoin out of thin air then.
I like the theory that Crypto Currency is secretly just their alpha / beta project for testing CDBC in the wild and fix potential loopholes, errors, exploits and scam possibilities before it goes live.

Open source is critical for any/all security related software.

I think you might be putting too much value in open source security. Don't get me wrong I'm a 100% advocate for pure open source software (&Hardware!)
But code being reviewed by good people / security researchers is not the end-all of security.
State level actors don't insert back doors into code, instead they insert vulnerabilities that can be exploited.
This is incredibly hard for security researchers to catch, as the code does not "glow". Particularly if 0-days are utilized in the vulnerability being inserted.
