Decades before,an epic hash cracking has took place and very few people know about it.To exploit the weakness of DES encryption,a community of people-known by the software they used to crack the DES algorithm "DESCHALL",took the world by storm-as they took only 4 months to crack the encryption which consisted of more than 4 quintillion combinations,even with the poor computing power of that time.
They achieved this goal by making use of Internet-by distributing their DRESCHALL client to anybody who is interested and who can afford an Internet connection and spare their valuable computing power.They distributed the key spaces through this client and made cracking faster.They managed to get more than 5000 clients from Canada and got an average speed of 3 TH/s,something which is available with an expense of a single GPU,these days!
Anyway,I just wanted to say that-if such a client is released these days,then even a 20 char long hash can be cracked within minutes,but nobody is interested, what to do?
