You actually think that DES is too weak when it takes all the hackers in the known unix world to stage an attempt which has been so far unsuccessful?  Hmm... different point of view I guess.

First place of what? :-)  We (the deschall group) are doing >
500Mkeys/sec.

Plus, we'll soon be able to traverse firewalls, which we hope will
significantly increase the number of available clients.

Our status reports are available at http://www.frii.com/~rcv/desstat.htm

Stop playing around with <10Mkeys/sec and join us. :-) That's a lot of
keys, but if everyone can coordinate their efforts together, the
faster we'll get through the keyspace and prove that DES is too weak
for real applications...
