Check out : Date: Sat, 1 Mar 1997 09:00:04 -0600 (CST) From: Prisoner <spatula@gulf.net> To: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org Subject: RC5 RSA contest thing Hi all, So a lot of us from #freeBSD are participating in the RSA 56 bit key cracking contest, and it would be really neat if a lot more FreeBSD types joined in with us. The details can be found at http://www.vex.net/rsa/ for the team we are participating on. If you have a box with some CPU to spare, please join our effort.
