second tranche of emails from the University of East Anglia server includes a message from an author in an encrypted text file
an encrypted folder mysterious published online last week that contains more than 220 245 private e-mails exchanged between climate scientists includes a message from another author, the Guardian has learned.
When the second tranche of emails from a University of East Anglia in late 2009 servers have been downloaded from a server accessible to the Russian public on Tuesday, the file you were in - called "FOIA2011 "- also includes a message from an author in a README.txt. It also includes an encrypted folder called "All.7z" with 137MB of compressed text files, it is assumed that the emails that are, as promised in the message public.
Igor Pavlov, the Russian programmer who designed the software 7-Zip compression used by the popular author, reviewed and confirmed the encrypted file that includes another file manually created the file README.txt.
"7-Zip files is not [on file], which were not specified by the user," said Pavlov. The encrypted text file is very small - only 211 bytes in size - but it is large enough to contain, for example, a couple of sentences. In comparison, the README file published by the author last week contained 3607 words, a total of 24576 bytes.
- But Pavlov stressed that it is highly unlikely that someone other than the author - the person who has the file "password", or the password - will be able to force their way into the encryption "All7z folder". "7z encryption can be broken if the password is short and simple," said Pavlov. "For example, a 7z file with a password of eight characters can be broken. 7z file with a password of 12 characters can be broken, but only if you can provide resources sufficient to crack. However, a file with a 7z password, for example, 40 characters is probably unbreakable for the foreseeable future. If the password is long, the attacker must break AES-256 encryption. And there is currently no information that anyone can break AES-256. "
Pavlov also found that the author - intentionally or by accident - do not encrypt the file names contained in the "All.7z" folder, despite this option available to them. "The 7z format allows the user to keep a list of folders in a file encrypted, "said Pavlov." But the list of files' All.7z "includes the name and file size. While the file data is encrypted in this file. "
