First question:
How fast can I crack DES using a single processor, modern, commodity Pentium processor, circa 2007 ?
not quickly...
Can it be done in real time ? Are we talking four quad-cores CPUs or 40 quad-core CPUs (to do real time)?
exhaustive search in 9 days for < $10,000 is pretty good. you'll solve twice as fast on average. :) see http://www.copacobana.org/ for details.
Is there anything about what is being used here that would make it not related to, or not applicable to, the method and expense of cracking "DES" as discussed above?
maybe! *grin* (in practice there are a dozen easier ways to get the same signal/picture with much less effort)
