I'd like to train a couple of off-the-net computers to crack DES. Unfortunately there appears to be no off-line client which uses files, so I can sneakernet a big batch of "try this keyspace" requests, leave it running for a few weeks, and then sneakernet the results back. Yeah, I could hack it myself, but I thought I'd recommend the idea to the people who are actually coordinating the searches. (Of course the user should be able to tell if the client has scored the key. Some users may well decide not to bother sneakernetting "not found" results back to the Net, but will check to see if their client won.) (In case you are worried, I am good net.citizen who trims Newsgroups: lines, is careful not to take the name of Kibo in vain, and who never trolls for newbies by posting "follow-up to this article to get free nude picture of Sandra Bullock!". So _I_, therefore, would faithfully sneakernet my "key not found" results back to the Net.) Regards, Zooko Journeyman Disclaimers follow: I am not a crook.
