Amazing. I came across this utter trainwreck of a forum thread by way of Bruce Schneier’s blog (it was in his “Crypto Doghouse,” a place reserved for people selling snake-oil security solutions). In the thread, the voices of reason go head-on against the insane ravings of the gibbering loon who developed an XOR-based “secure encryption system” and his fan club of giggling imbeciles.

Highlights include:

I am not a security expert. - Andrew Glina (XorIt author)
Quoting Bruce Schneier on OTP is like quoting Bill Gates on open source. - Andrew Glina

Ahahaha. Right.
