RC5-72

The sucessor to one of the first DC Projects (behind Prime95 and a few others)...involving millions of PC's worldwide. In this project, users are attempting to "brute force" the RC5-72 key set to try to decrypt a single message, in order to prove how secure/insecure RC5 is. This project has been running only since December, 2002. Team AnandTech RC5 is currently ranked within the Top 10, but with a new project, there's a lot of time to go up or down, with high-hopes of getting the #1 spot early on. If that's not enough, a $1000 prize awaits the user who finds the key(along with another $1000 for the team they're on).

For information on RC5 go to our RC5 Team Website: Team AnandTech RC5

"The" message is looking really good. I sure hope all of the teams have a representative submit a writeup. We only have about a week before we need to wrap this up ... for Christmas. :p ;) :)

Just a little (big) thanks to Crazee and the rest of the TeAm for putting this together! :)

After doing the same thing a few months ago, I know that it can take a little time and effort to produce a good thread....:D

more...more....more! :Q

Bump up. Most projects have responded but there are a couple more that haven't. We will be sending this to the mods shortly.

We're now up to 20th in Find-a-Drug. Looks like if we can continue our current weekly production (really sweet numbers so far for today), we'll have 19th by the end of the year, although anything to speed it up will be greatly appreciated.

"Crazee" is about to submit the "Recruiting Thread" for publication so there is no more time for delay. This may be the final call. :Q

Put in a plug for your favorite project(s). ;)

Almost forgot! One big edit for the SETI portion.

Our Seti Team is currently ranked #6 in the world!

needs to be changed to:

Our Seti Team is currently ranked #5 in the world!

Update: This project has so far found 4 new Primes! One of which was found by our very own SeanD (sean2002). Be the next to find a Prime, and get your name in the record books!

Thread updated with ECC2 information. We look good to go, so it is being submitted :)

Thanks everyone for your work on this. Let's hope that we get lots of new people to take the TeAm to the top of the list :)
