Anybody want to donate spare CPU cycles
to help crack DES (again)?

Do it in under 56 hours and you could win a
prise (quicker and your prise could be bigger)!

<distributed.net> has a team of people work-
ing on the problem; c.f. their How To Help page:

http://www.distributed.net/howto.html

<distributed.net> has a range of Linux clients
(as well as lot of others for Win32, et al.);
try:

http://www.distributed.net/cgi/select.cgi?platform=linux

Contest start 18 Jan 1999 9 am PST

c.f. RSA Lab's site (contest sponsors)

http://www.rsa.com/

While you're there (i.e. AFTER you start
work on the problem, e.g. with your
distributed.net client), satisfy any general
curiosity you might have about cryptog-
raphy with RSA's NEWLY DOWNLOAD
ABLE, pdf or postscript, "Cryptography FAQ":

http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs/faq/

It's not to late to participate... yet...

PS EFF (which apparently won a previous
contest) does not seem to have as easy
to find project for this event... correct me
if I'm wrong...  ;)
