RE: telnet vs ssh on Core equipment , looking for reasons why ?

So... does anybody know how long it takes to hack an ssh key given identity and identity.pub? Because, if I have your machine, I have these... it's just a matter of unlocking your passphrase. (And not even that, if you're running ssh-agent and I can get to that...)

Very long time. It can be solved using the Chineese television problem. If I recall correctly, it will take a few hundred years provided you did have Chineese television. :) Alex
