Very interesting, curious how long it would take to brute force the 56 bit key, with something like a GPU/FPGA. It looks like hashcat supports DES, which is also 56 bit.
- ethan_smith 1y agoModern GPU clusters can break 56-bit DES in under a day - AWS instances could do it for a few hundred dollars, making this vulnerability practically exploitable by motivated attackers with modest resources.
- anfractuosity 1y agoInteresting thanks, that's faster than I thought it'd be.
