Could someone with a few things handy compile Andrew Roos code so that we have a nice handy pre-compiled DOS binary. A must will be a DOS binary, what other platforms? - DOS (Need Microsoft visual C++ I think this is what Andrew used, there is an assembler speed up file) - OS/2? - PowerPC + MAC? Any other architecture you would like to see a binary made available for. Please send binary to Piete (cc line) or me, and it would be nice if you could provide a detatched PGP signature also. The tar file is at: http://dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/brutessl.tar.gz There is a pointer to brutessl.tar.gz. You'll need to use save next link ( "shift and click" on URL in netscape 1.1 ), or whatever mechanism your browser provides. You'll also need TAR.EXE and GZIP.EXE for DOS to unpack a .tar.gz file. In case this is a problem I have just created this: http://dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/brutessl/ containing these files: 2 -rw-r--r-- 1 aba phd 439 Jul 31 11:14 Makefile 2 -rw-r--r-- 1 aba phd 602 Jul 31 17:19 README 34 -rw-r--r-- 1 aba phd 16450 Jul 31 17:20 assembly.c 42 -rw-r--r-- 1 aba phd 21373 Jul 31 17:21 brutessl.c 6 -rw-r--r-- 1 aba phd 2776 Jul 31 17:21 brutessl.h 26 -rw-r--r-- 1 aba phd 12709 Jul 31 17:21 brutessl.txt 2 -rw-r--r-- 1 aba phd 351 Aug 19 20:31 chal2.pf 2 -rw-r--r-- 1 aba phd 264 Jul 31 17:21 chal1.pf 34 -rw-r--r-- 1 aba phd 16500 Jul 31 17:22 search.c 2 -rw-r--r-- 1 aba phd 296 Jul 31 17:22 test.pf You should be able to access them individually as: http://dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/brutessl/Makefile etc. (just in case you can't handle TAR / GZIP files on your DOS machine). chal1.pf is the challenge that Damien just broke, chal2.pf is my first attempt at producing a challenge file for Hal's next challenge. The challenge info will be at: http://www.brute.cl.cam.ac.uk/brute/ when it starts. Adam
