I decided to stop doing this solo and put my blocks towards the noble goal of passing /. and the DPCs. Every little bit helps 🙂

I have a modest herd, it would be bigger if my boss would get a clue...

Here are my stats

Current herd:
Dual p3 933 (I average ~5Mkeys, is there anyway I can get it higher? 🙂)
K6-2 400 laptop
P166 Classic

Pending additions
Duron 650 and a K6-2 500
 
Welcome Cylon!.....Team Anandtech Love You and your addition 😀😀😀 A very nice herd it is.....😀
 
Well, Cylon, these are the stats I got from your link!
But hey...welcome, with that herd, it will only get better.

They're updating 😉

No I'm not inflating my post count 😉

OK, time to sleep, class in 7 hours, d'oh 🙁.
 
Cylon,
Welcome to the fold!

If you need any assistance in assimilating you can find pre-configured clients Here

Just make sure that you get the generic client, or you'll find your friends are cracking with the despicable BORG! 🙂
 
WELCOME aboard! 😀

Quite some variety in that herd--a prize Bull (Dual p3 933) and a dry old milk cow (P166 Classic) :Q! Here's hoping your boss wakes up ands smells the cow patties!

BTW, my "herd" consists of two steers (ugh 😱) and are eventually destined for a grill at MacDonalds; hope to go with a Cumine/Duron O'C duet soon.
 
Welcome to TeamAnandtech! Don't forget to pop into our irc channel at irc.othernet.org #teamanandtech as well as the soon to be famous GameBox.
 
Cylon, Welcome to the team. We Joes have to stick together. By the way, you are also doing OGR-25. See Here

If you don't want to do OGR you have to turn it off by placing the following in your ini file:

[misc]
project-priority=DES=0,CSC=0,OGR=0,RC5
 


<< it would be bigger if my boss would get a clue... >>



We have plenty of extra clues. Can we send him some?😀

Cylon: Welcome to the TEAM! 😎

Hope your boss wakes up and let's you do what's needed 😉

With love and respect your fellow TA member

Wow, more replies 🙂.

Wellcky: I tried connecting to that IRC server, but it keeps timing out. Is it down right now? (I'm mostly on EFnet or DALnet).

Joe O: Thanks for the tip on OGR, luckily I caught that back when the project started so I didn't lose too much cracking time.

Russ: Any idea how I can convince my boss that installing a dnet client won't kill a computer? I tried reasoning that it doesn't interfere with any normal operations if you set it a low priority level, and the heat increase from the high cpu usage was negligible if you have good cooling. He seems to equate it with cracking (the script-kiddie kind) 🙁.

Everyone else: Thanks 🙂
 
Cylon,

You might explain to him that Two of Borg (DanC) is a honcho with Compaq and runs it at his labs.😀

As for this:



<< He seems to equate it with cracking >>



You could also mention that the contest is sponsored by the company (RSA) that developed the encryption that we're trying to crack. That always opens eyes.
