You are forgetting about the people who build hardware just to crack this. I think the important thing here is to use good security practices when connecting to your routers/equipment. The second thing that is even *more* important is insuring that your vendor makes it easy to access images that can use secure connection methods. - Jared On Wed, Aug 01, 2001 at 08:15:47AM -0400, Greg Maxwell wrote:

You are probably aware, but EFF published the DES crack. I understand that it is now an issue of cracking DES in less than 12 hours. 3DES is better but it only amounts to DES with a 128-bit key.
Definitely a limited shelf-live.
2^128/2^56 * 12hrs = 6.46 * 10^18 years
I take it that you plan on living a lot longer then I do?
