You wanna hand over your paycheck now, or later? :-)

I know someone with a functional white-hat timing attack script sitting
on their laptop. They've been honing the statistical analysis to get
the number of data points needed down to a less noticeable size, but
the technique can already be successfully applied.


To your latter point, you can run a timing attack as slowly as you
like, and a lot of sites have very poor monitoring for things like
404s. A month or more of patient low-level attacking to gain access to
a prime target is well worth it.


The point being that we all ought to take timing attacks seriously.
They're not nearly as unrealistic as people think.


All the best,
