Any one up for a distributed brute force attack on single DES? My back-of-the-envelope calculations and guesstimates put this on the hairy edge of doability (the critical factor is how many machines can be recruited - a non-trivial cash prize would help).
Count me in. I've got a couple of net-connected Pentiums that are mostly idle.
Although I dont have a pentium, I would be glad to put forth some computer power to help.
Might be able to bring some money in by selling "I Helped Crack DES And All I Got Was This Lousy T-shirt" T-shirts.
Id buy one! :) P.J. pjn@nworks.com ... I helped crack DES and all I got was this lousy Tagline. ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.20 [NR]
