Comment on Security researchers 'destroy' Microsoft ASP.NET securityparent

The funny part about this story is that Thai's video (of him breaking DotNetNuke) breaks a 3DES key. The great thing about CBC padding and bitflips is that it's inherent to the block cipher mode; switch to DES-EDE, MARS, Twofish, or Serpent and you still have the same vulnerability. You don't even need to know how the algorithm is implemented! The same exploit will work, regardless of the underlying exploit.

You gotta love crypto.

Underlying cipher, sorry.
