Problem with the list

Well, I've already registered with my new softHome account to this list. But somehow, I'm not receiving any mails on my Softhome Account. Pls. see what is wrong & let me know..... I'm available at kgangakhedkar(a)softhome.net Kunal ---------------------- "Waving away a cloud of smoke, I look up, and am blinded by a bright, white light. It's God.

Lots of improvements. You can find KDE 3.0 RH rpms at http://db.ilug-bom.org.in/Applications/KDE/3.0/RedHat/ Please let me know if non-RH people need the sources, and I can upload them too. You can find a screenshot of my desktop at ( for those who care about the cool factor ;-) http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/~jaju/screenshot.jpg -- jaju

Book available ?
by Dr . Sharukh K . R . Pavri . 04 Apr '02

04 Apr '02

I was suggested to read Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffery Friedl. I am told it is _the_ book to read for regex. When I enquired w/ my bookwalla, he told me that he was told it would have o be oredered from abroad and would cost ~ Rs. 1300/-. And no, I don't think he is trying to rip me off. It's also not available at the roadside booksellers at Fountain. Does anyone have this book with him ? I would like to first take a look at it before I commit to pay for it. regards, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. Mumbai, India.

Caveats with latest Yahoo Messenger
by Philip S Tellis 04 Apr '02

04 Apr '02

If any of you plan on using the latest yahoo messenger for linux, be warned that it adds itself to your .xinitrc file - even if you tell it not to run on startup. After this, X will not start again. You will have to delete the entry from your .xinitrc file first. -- Mulder: Modell psyched the guy out. He put the whammy on him. Scully: Please explain to me the scientific nature of the 'whammy'.

Hi. Where did you find new YM for Linux? I couldnt find it at http://messenger.yahoo.com. I assume you meant official YM. Thanks. Amish. Philip S Tellis wrote: > >If any of you plan on using the latest yahoo messenger for linux,

Re: Birthday attack against MD5
by Vinay Pai 04 Apr '02

> What about a birthday attack? a birthday attack seems to work against MD5 Doesn't help. A birthday attack means you can find two messages with the same hash (i.e. a collision). It doesn't enable you to find a second message with a particular hash value. To sum it up 1. To finda particular hash: Given H(m1) find m2 such that H(m2)=H(m1) If H is a cryptographic hashing function with n-bits this requires 2^n operations 2. To find a collision (birthday attack) Find m1 and m2 such that H(m1) = H(m2) This takes 2^(n/2) operations Thus for a birthday attack to be successful, you need control over BOTH the hashes. Thus it can be used to attack a digital signature scheme by producing a good message and a malicious message with the same hash (and thus same signature). It can't be used to recover passwords. Anyhow, even a birthday attack takes 213 days for our fantastic trillion-MD5-ops-per-second machine... definately doable by the NSA, CIA, KGB or something... but still not of much concern to most. A birthday attack is fairly easy to defeat in a digital signature scheme, plus if you're really paranoid you can use the 160-bit SHA algorithm instead.
