Thanks for the responses. I hope it was useful to go through. Yeah, I think the salient points are that the sid is not all 0 but mostly 0 in one case and Fermat's Little Theorem basically make the math work out. I suspect the authors thought of this clever attack because they were already thinking about fault attacks on RSA where perhaps similar concepts come up.

I predict with some confidence this will be made into a CTF soon if it hasn't already so we may as well work on the code now ;-)
