ePrint Report: Reverse-Bleichenbacher: Bleichenbacher Attacks are Practical Again Youheng Lü, Lorenz Hetterich, Riccardo Zanotto, Cas Cremers, Michael Schwarz, Lukas Gerlach Bleichenbacher's 1998 padding oracle attack against RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 has resurfaced repeatedly over the past decades, especially in TLS. Although modern browsers prefer TLS 1.3, many servers and clients still permit RSA key exchange for backward compatibility, enabling active network attackers to decrypt recorded sessions. Still, practical man-in-the-middle attacks remain challenging. The classical attack narrows the plaintext interval from the top down, spending many queries on secret-independent padding bytes before reaching the PreMasterSecret in the low-order 46 bytes of the RSA plaintext. As a result, prior attacks required multiple vulnerable servers in parallel to avoid connection timeouts. In this paper, we present Reverse-Bleichenbacher, a novel variant of the Bleichenbacher algorithm. In contrast to all previous Bleichenbacher-style algorithms, our algorithm recovers the least significant bytes first and terminates the searc
