Folks,
The DES cracking efforts are making real progress. If you aren't already
participating, now is the time to do so. DESCHALL reports 7% of the
keyspace searched with an estimated 14 weeks to go. Your old 486/Macintosh
can make the difference.

Put a stake through the heart of DES! We are currently searching 3.5
billion keys per second and rising. 7% of the keyspace has been searched
with only ~14 weeks to go. Your old 486 *does* make the difference.
Virtually any CPU/OS supported. Join the quest at
