Heya,
I just thought some of you might be happy to know that the
Deschall project just successfully cracked an RC5 encrypted message
with a 56 bit key. The really cool thing is that it was one of the
1-2% machines that was running FreeBSD! The majority of the
machines hacking away cpu cylces were running windows and solaris.
They found the key after searching through only 25% of the
keyspace. Even though it was really just a matter of luck, I still
that it was pretty cool.
