Well, we're now about 30 hours into the crack, and here are some very rough stats. We've swept a bit over 1/4 of the keyspace. Only 60% of requests have been ACKed so far - PLEASE check to make sure your acks have been recorded. The largest segments completed are a 128 (mine), and 4 100's (3 are mine :-) Over 9000 segments have been swept in 3-segment chunks, by far the most popular size. I count people from uk, at, se, ee, fr, ie, kr, nl, de, no, au, za, nz, fi, ca, be, is, and us, by a casual inspection - I'm sure there are more. It's pretty clear that the server is the bottleneck, though also looks like some people are biting off more than they can chew. I would have probably swept another couple hundred today if I could have obtained the key space. Since a lot of sweepers are not on the cpunk list, notices of updates and progress would be well put in the /brute/ page. I'm going away for a week and a half's vacation. I'll try to watch for results in sci.crypt, but I probably won't see the cpunk list until I'm back. Good luck!
