DES-II-2 Challenge

Posted by justin++ from the whip-out-the-big-iron-guys dept.
Brian Porter writes "In order to try to beat The RSA DES Challenge II, distributed.net is using computers' idle processing time all over the world. This will require testing at most 2^56 keys to determine the correct one. The DES-II-2 challenge will start July 13, 1998 at 9am PST. Download a client for your machine, and help out!" Assuming the teams are carried over from the RC5 contest, Slashdot will be team #1365. Anyone have a quad Xeon yet? =)
