If you understood the attack, you would see that not only would it apply to
any block cipher, it would also apply even if the attacker had no clue about
what block cipher was being used (he only needs to know/guess the block
size).

If it's that simple then surely you or anybody else can supply some pseudo
code or god forbid some real code ? ;)

Otherwise it shall remain in the land of the fairytales ;) :)

Work it out yourself?

Seriously, Scott doesn't work for you.

Seriously, Scott doesn't work for you.

Tom
"

Well I say: I doesn't work in the first place, so what am I supposed to work
out... ?

I could test out a "non working idea"... but I rather do it vice versa ! ;)

So you or anybody else prove to me that it works... and then I will happily
verify that work ! ;) (by programming and testing it myself ;))

Bye,
Skybuck.

But it is you, who wants/should learn something. When Tom St Denis and
Joseph Ashwood (I don't remember Scott Fluhrer's postings, so I can't
name him here) say it works, you can be pretty sure it does. You
should learn to tell people knowing more than you (about crypto) from
the others and learn from the former. I don't think they need to work
hard to convice you that it works, 'cause there're sure it does (and
'cause they get nothing for it).

Actually, even I can see it works. Sure, it doesn't mean you can read
TLS/SSL ciphertext like a book, but it definitely is an attack. Try to
read it again or try to find an error there.
