Hooters News Service In a startling turn of events, the Dutch Power Cows (DPCs) have systematically, and dramatically knocked Team AnandTech out of their rightful spot at the top of the daily rankings for the RC5-64 encryption project.

Insiders say that this disaster appears to be a combination of aggressive recruiting efforts by the DPCs at a time when the horsepower of the TA membership has been spread thin over a multitude of projects. It?s sad, but true, that even with a forum membership base over 30,0000 in number, Team AnandTech has only been able to muster approximately 600 daily participants in RC5.

Those close to the project have speculated that this low participation number is due to the mis-conception that cracking RC5 actually involves a high degree of effort. The facts say otherwise. In this reporters mind, it is clearly a very simple, and painless installation. In the words of one member, ?Hell, if Paulson can do it, anybody can.?:)

All the while, the DPC crew has been invading the AnandTech Distributed Computing Forum with their on-going taunts and bragging; thumbing their noses at the once proud and mighty Team AnandTech RC5 effort. To quote one member of the DPC?s ?Neener, neener, we?re number one, and you can?t do anything about it!?

In the words of one of the more vocal, and frustrated members of Team AnandTech, ?How can we let this happen? We have the largest most active forums on the web! We NEED MORE MEMBERS! And, it is so easy to get started! This is an outrage!!!!!!?


Damn, people, this is all over the news wires. We have been embarrassed. Will you stand for this, or will you stand up and show these interlopers who the real boss is? Let?s get a couple hundred more people on board, and get back on top where we belong!:D We have the power here among the membership, let?s fire it up, and SHOW the DPCs what a REAL smackdown is like.

It?s easy to get started, and works automatically once it?s installed. Everything you ever wanted to know, but were afraid to ask is at http://www.anandtech.com/rc5.html. If that isn?t enough, we have a forum full of the most active, helpful people you?d ever want to meet: http://forums.anandtech.com/categories.cfm?catid=39.

This is so easy, what are you waiting for?

Russ, NCNE

Going to be putting my P3 800 PC133 with 512MB and My C2-566 PC100 128MB to work....

I am going to get some more mods done on a HSF so I can OC my C566 to 850.

Friends, it's really, really true. It's so easy, that anyone can do it! Don't be the last one on your block to discover the joys of RC5!

It's the easiest way to give something back to AnandTech.

Even I, having no prior experience with RC5, managed to get a decent-sized herd working with two personal proxies using email to coordinate the work - all thanks to the ever-helpful folks in the Distributed Computing forum. They are smart people! And your setup will be simpler than mine, believe me!

And if I could do that, think how easy it will be for you to run it on a single machine - totally automated! Set it and forget it! The only thing you have to do is sit back and watch your stats climb. Have more machines? Then set up a proxy like I did! It's still completely automated!

There is no way that the DPCs should be able to whip us. Join Team AnandTech today!

my comp here at Intel is behind a firewall. Otherwise, you'd have a PIII800 working all weekend, all night every night, and some of the time during the hours of 7am to 4pm PDT. :)

Damn firewall...

FFMCobalt, no problem.... What ports do you have open, You can get through!
Many people have proxy's that listen on port 80 and other often used ports.

For those of you planning to crack at work, make sure you get your boss's/net Admin's permission. I was planning on doing it here with a bunch of MP servers that aren't being used (P3 500+, mostly 2-4 procs per system), but my boss said no. Just a word of caution. ;)

Post in Distributed Computing, Give whatever specifics you can about your Net config, and your firewall setup. I'm a seti guy, but I'm sure a bunch of RC5'rs can help you.

Russ if you add up the speed of every processor you're running, what do you get? :)

FFM & Croton,

If you guys can get to the Internet through your firewall then you can run the RC5 client.

If you absolutely had to, you could even sneaker-net your processed packets from the cracking machine to one with net access, and then sneaker-net the new blocks to the cracking machine. It's not exactly difficult, if you just can't get around a firewall or something. You don't even NEED to install the client on the machine, you can run it from a floppy (as long as you don't log). You could just run it on the machine when you're at work then take it home when you leave.

I would crack, but it overheats my cpu, and paulson's idea was shot down. :( I'll try to get RC5 cracking again in a week or 2 once I find good enough cooling.
