"As far as breaking encryption goes. I have to words for this. Proprietary hardware.

That neither you nor I will ever see."

There are only a few mathematical methods that can be used to speed a crack so far, whether used in hardware or otherwise. Nothing's nearly fast enough to decrypt strong encryption, yet, and that won't happen for a while (see stages of development in nanotech., light, etc.).

The real eggheads and their work tend to be rather well known and principled, and social engineering won't get much more than trouble.

I have a PhD in a STEM field. Towards the EM side of that. I’ve seen ethical misdoings that would curl your hair. IQ is no clear delineator of ethics. Unfortunately.
