Breaking Monero Episode 06: Unusual Ringsize
In this short episode, we discuss the unfortunate tradeoff when sending Monero transactions with unusual ringsizes. Some transactions were sent with ringsizes over 1000. Monero moved to consensus-mandated ringsizes in a recent update instead of minimum ringsizes. Thus, the concerns in this video serve an informative purpose, but they do not have any current relevance.

Breaking Monero Episode 05: Input Selection Algorithm
In this episode, Sarang and Justin explain more about how Monero selects decoys for ring signatures, more than just "randomly." We explain how Monero's selection algorithm has evolved over time, and how a strong input selection algorithm is critical for protective ring signatures.

Breaking Monero Episode 04: Chain Splits (Key Image Reuse Attack)
In this episode, Sarang, Brandon (Suare), and Justin introduce key image reuse concerns. We explain some techniques to protect security and privacy under a number of circumstances. Ultimately, users should not claim "airdrop" funds if they have not thought long and hard about the implications.

Breaking Monero Episode 03: 0-Decoy and Chain Reactions
Sarang and Justin discuss 0-decoy (0-mixin) rings, perhaps the oldest and best-studied past limitation of Monero. We discuss how research created for 0-decoy rings can be applied to other analysis types. We show a spreadsheet tool we use to test chain reaction impacts, which can be caused by a large number of possible Monero attacks. By understanding the basics of 0-decoy research, individuals can more easily understand how we study the potential impacts of other attacks and analysis.
