frohicky, dday and Vinculum used our newssubmit to tell us that the Distributed.net RC5 project has a winner! The CD Freaks - Power of United Burners team also joined the search for the winning team.
Now after 1757 days of searching this key the RSA Labs' RC5-64 project was successfully recovered by distributed.net. 0x63DE7DC154F4D039 was returned by a P3-450 in Japan running Windows 2000. The key 0x63DE7DC154F4D039 produces the plaintext output: some things are better left unread.
Our team has ended at the 103th place. And this is not bad, if you know that we joined the project very, very late and know that there are over 16.000 teams ! Our best member was The3rdLevel. Congratulations !
Thos who would like to use their unused CPU power for a good purpose, consider to join our THINK Team, that helps to find a cure against cancer. More details can be found here.
