Nadat inmiddels 98% van de keyspace was gechekt, is vandaag eindelijk de key van het Distributed.net CSC Contest gevonden. De gelukkige computer die de key kraakte is een trotse Sun Sparc. Hier de aankondiging van Daniel Baker (thanks DaFreak voor de tip):
Greetings!I'm very proud (and quite relieved) to announce that distributed.net has successfully met the CS Communications & Systems CSC encryption challenge. The key was submitted to CS Communications & Systems just moments ago.
At 06:26:52 on 01/16/00, we received a success key, 00438EF36FE3FC21. I haven't contacted the user yet, so I can only say that the computer that found the key was a Sparc box running Solaris and version v2.8002 of the client.
Users can expect an official press release with far more information and statistics within a few hours. Please standby for more details.
Thanks again for all your support and dedication.
