The #NSA booth here at the @RSAConference has an Enigma machine on display. Not quite sure how to react to this one. http://t.co/8YgikXwATx

I bet blackhats in Russia and... in reply to

I bet blackhats in Russia and China are pissed off that someone else revealed a useful exploit and security is about to be tightened.

More details would be nice. Like what OS are we talking about and why are they "wiping it off the system" and it keeps coming back? Are they not fixing the code that allows it in in the first place? Are they using some OS where one has to be careful what one clicks on lest one get infected with something? If so, how is something that insecure used in the war-fighting infrastructure? Did the NSA get overruled by some powerful senator that needed to repay a campaign favor?

Of course it doesn't tell you... in reply to

Of course it doesn't tell you who wrote Flame. The NYT article tells you that. But how is that relevant? The cryptography aspect of it is part and parcel of the whole program. Without it, the operation could not have succeeded. Tell me, what rogue hacker has the capacity to develop his own collision attack cryptography--never before seen anywhere else--to conduct this operation. Mind you one that has specific interests in Iran. No matter how you twist it, you're still being delusional dude.

Given the number of classified patents the US publishes, especially in the field of cryptography, the most likely culprit is the NSA, the largest employer of mathematicians in the world.
