Hmm... different point of view I >guess. Err--that's not really the point. We've doing this with only $10,000 as our reward, and without spending any money on hardware. The only resources we're using already exist.. If you give me $500,000 and three months, I will build you a system to crack codes in days instead of months. Has anyone done the calculations to see how long it would take Intel's Teraflops computer to crack DES? DES is always crackable given enough time or money. We're doing it with _no_ money and taking 150 days to do it. Right now I'm trying to convince one of our support-droids that the 'computer resources' he is trying so hard to save are merely going to screen updates of a login banner. On almost 100 machines. - --- Adam Haberlach haberlaa@ucs.orst.edu http://www.engr.orst.edu/~haberlad Crack DES now! http://www.frii.com/~rcv/deschall.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBM1Tv3hSmwqZasiJdAQGG5AP9H+3jgEq+y6mUkRrDZ+LK09fiLAjXIIDz Z5Qbb9Cql1dzsVVY3ZsQzphyE+gT+zM9Fbn2yDbfsDLX+vDc4dvhX22cvVIJcN9J N0InRBDWH6fcEX4Cmq+lGHXSb8jx/iwbYW4gGkT7++UuZC/VKDPy3jBnltodivpr aEXRg6CdX18= =ZSIJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
