While I agree the project name leaves something to desire, lol, I actually find the project's intent interesting, the RC5-72 challenge has been in process, according to this paper (http://www.cryptographicassuranceservices.com/Docs/IEEE%20Crypto%20Transitions.pdf)since 2002, and according to this WIKI Posting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC5)1.836% of all the possible keys have been tested.

It's my understanding and I could certainly could be wrong, that is the encryption the U.S. government uses.

Maybe I'm just easily amused, lol. I've never been accused of being the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree :)

Maybe itīs a conspiracy to hack the US government at some point...When 99.9999% of all keys is tested, they will unleash hell....;)

Come to think of it...

What would say....NASA?..do if the entire DC community participated in a project which only had the one goal to hack them....! Could NASA stand such and assault? (Please note I mean NO HARM in saying this!)
