got some spare cycles?

http://bovine.st.hmc.edu/ for the RC5 cracking effort
and
http://www.frii.com/~rcv/deschall.htm
for the DES effort..

add a client or two..
just grab the clients (by following the instructions)
and fire them off with a 'nice -10'
and they'll contribute..
as a side benefit you get to see how fast your machine is, but 
every machine helps


for the bovine rc5 set, there seems to be a FreeBSD-heavey
set so add your weigh to it by using the command:

rc5 -n 20 -a [a.key.server] rsacrack@vex.net

(-n 20 gives it a 'nice' value)
a suggested key server might be:
rc5.best.net
