It would be very useful to brute-force cryptographic codes.
- rwmj 12y agoI suspect one of the first things that would happen is you would disappear into the NSA/GCHQ/security services of the country you were in (if not disappear entirely). A modern laptop would be enormously valuable in 1975.
- dfox 12y agoDES is still well beyond the reach of one guy with a laptop, entire bitcoin network is roughly what you need to bruteforce DES in few minutes.
- oakwhiz 12y agoThere exists at least one OpenCL implementation of a DES cracker - a modern laptop GPU could certainly accelerate the process considerably.
- dfox 12y agoYes, that is why I related required computation power to bitcoin. But still this considerable acceleration does not make it feasible with one laptop or even high-end workstation.
