Tim, what sort of rates do your clients get? According to the README off his page, for his optimized client, he's getting an approx 25% performance increase...these rates seem to indicate a 5x performance increase... > We need to either take this client and use it to improve the clients > we are using or scrap our current approach and join the Deschall effort. > With clients that are so much faster than ours, we don't stand a chance. I've just grabbed their client and am running a block off of it to see if my results on my P133 running FreeBSD comes anywhere near the 662K they report on a Pentium 133... I think the problem with the bovine clients is that there is probably no assembly optimizations in them, like what genx tried to do... But, so far, the client can't even get a connection to the key server: > ./dvclient-i586-freebsd.WAX -e rsacrack@vex.net -s 128.2.75.22 Using email address: rsacrack@vex.net Using server address: 128.2.75.22 DES Violation Client v1.0 (C) Copyright 1997 the DES Violation Group Obtaining keyspace from 128.2.75.22.
