@Cricktor — With all due respect, maybe it’s better to stay out of topics like these if you clearly don’t understand how ECC actually works. You didn’t even attempt to answer the question. The user asked why a low-bit private key can be recovered — and your answer was just name-dropping “BSGS” and “Kangaroo” with zero explanation. What's the Point in answering if you cannot answer a simple question?
90% of your explanations are a proof you have no idea what you are talking about. Baby steps using N/2 table size? Kangaroos using scalar multiplications being slower? What's the Point in answering if you cannot answer a simple question?
Cricktor was spot on with his answer, and guess what, he didn't fuck it up, while you did trying to show off as the grand expert, but instead adding more confusion to an already garbage thread.
Lmao it was a simple example to show why some algorithms are faster. And yes scalar multiplication is slower than point addition otherwise give me proof.
Looks like you also fall into the category of people who cannot read properly. Lmao.
