Hacking made simple.

I loves me some amazing Professor Jim McCanney, and I have been a regular listener (as in every week) to his weekly radio show since 2006, if not a bit before then.
I remember what a big deal I thought the release of his amazing book on calculating prime numbers was.
In my early 1990s amazing game MONEYSTOCK on the Amiga computer, I placed the following in the game's initializing startup-sequence file.
The old game is available for download at the archive.org and MONEYSTOCK is the only program that I know of that will hang up without fail using an Amiga emulator,
yet never fails to run perfectly on a real Amiga. Go figure.
The latest emulators seem to be an improvement, because on the earlier Amiga emulators the game would cause a guru meditation, usually just as it was getting really good.
It NEVER blows or hangs on a real Amiga.
If I really cared, I'd submit the game for them to use to fix the emulator, but instead I use MONEYSTOCK as a test to see when a fully functional Amiga emulator is released, if ever.
Back to my main point. In 2007 when I learned about Professor McCanney's discovery of how to generate prime numbers, I was intrigued, and immediately realized the awesome implication. I was sure that things were about to change in a big way! And for sure his discovery validated my long held view about anything electronic eventually being duplicated. Back in the day I wouldn't even allow an ATM card being attached to my bank account until it became mandatory. I setup no electronic access by me allowed for savings accounts, and require ink signature on paper only for transactions.
Now here we are 10 years after the huge (apparently hidden) discovery, the government intelligence agencies have practically merged with corporations, and they dictate content of certain computer operating systems. That being said for context, I'm sure that 99%+ of what Professor McCanney speaks about goes over people's heads. Perhaps even over most heads here?
However, last week he broke down what is happening in such a concise way, that I feel that most still reading this post will comprehend what the good professor spoke on, and will realize exactly the significance what it means when he predicts big changes over the next year. He's right, but I doubt if it will be progress, more like lock down as the authorities panic upon the severe onslaught of increasing "cyber attacks".
During real time credit card transactions, breaking the RSA codes is not gonna happen because one would still need a lot of infrastructure to actually intercept and utilize the information in time. But as far as databases, and server security, not knowing about this 10 year old vulnerability situation could lead to big problems. People are being easily being taken advantage of thinking something is secure, when it clearly has not been for over a decade. Worse yet, being forced to rely on and participate in said systems is problematic, as the good professor breaks down so well in this podcast.

Start at 26:00 and listen until 52:00 and be prepared to learn the real deal about "cyber security".
It's a true shame that James remains one of the hidden treasures of our time.
Peace in.

I know, sounds nuts... *cringe*
