Just goto the web site and enter your address.<BR/><BR/>The timing was after the keynote for a reason. It could have been earlier because the 'free' code had already been removed from the back-end.<BR/><BR/>@Damon: MPICH2 + John the Ripper.

Would you have been theoretically eligible to get a free iPhone also? <BR/><BR/>My other question regards your timing. From the text, I'm assuming that you posted this AFTER Jobs' keynote, but I wonder if it would have been better to post it AFTER the entire show had concluded? I'd like to hear your thoughts on the timing of the release of the information.Ontario Emperorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00468229071024779982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28687371.post-50027266903589946042008-01-16T06:20:00.000-08:002008-01-16T06:20:00.000-08:00Kurt,<BR/><BR/>nice handy work, keep cracking.<BR/><BR/>travis<BR/><BR/>http://travisaltman.comTravishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18078862817809893931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28687371.post-55815483635850671102008-01-15T15:56:00.000-08:002008-01-15T15:56:00.000-08:00Funny, I told IDG about this problem back in 2003, along with another problem which they <B>did</B> fix...<BR/>I managed to find the email I sent them:<BR/><BR/>Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2003 13:38:23 -0500 (EST)<BR/>From: Justin A <...><BR/>To: stephen_athan@idg.com<BR/>Subject: Problems with linuxworld (and other?) registrations<BR/><BR/>The registration system... sucks.<BR/><BR/>If you are at<BR/>http://linuxworldexpo.com/linuxworldny/V40/index.cvn?ID=10128<BR/>and click "REGISTER NOW!"<BR/>it asks for some information, if you then enter say,"j" for first name, and continue, you then get:<BR/><BR/>"We have the following possible matches based on your lookup information. If you see a record listed here that matches your information, you can choose it to view a confirmation of your registration. If you are not listed here, and would like to begin a new registration, click the 'Next' button to continue."<BR/><BR/>Followed by the names and information of everyone who registered with the first name starting with 'j'<BR/><BR/>This is compltely opposite of your privacy policy, which states: "The information we collect is used to improve the content of our Web page, not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes."<BR/><BR/>Now I would really like to register, but not if anyone can look up my information...<BR/><BR/>Also, the priority codes are visible but hashed with md5. Since they are so short, it only takes about 5 hours to crack them all.Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07567730572096907480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28687371.post-442190498244039532008-01-15T11:46:00.000-08:002008-01-15T11:46:00.000-08:00Ahhh, but it's even better than P/Cs - assuming the encryption algorithm is approaching a uniform cyphertext distribution (which is the goal of most cryptosystems), then the EXPECTED crack time is equal to P/2(Cs).Kurthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09031183881458956190noreply@blogger.com
