Food New, similar DC project needs your cycles.

The md5crk project seeks to end the use of the MD5 hash algorithm in sensitive (read: cryptographic) applications by finding a collision. The fact that MD5 is not secure for cryptographic purposes is not news, but many systems still use it and the hope is that finding a collision will end deployments of software that include MD5. This project has come along at a good time because ECC2-109 is just finishing up. The ECC2 challenge was a very similar problem and for those looking for a replacement DC project MD5CRK would welcome your cycles.

Yep, looks like a good project. I just got registered and got the client going, and all is well. Looks like a worthwhile project. We just completed ECC2, and finished in 8th place with a new team and only 10 members.

We're just starting to get spun up for MD5CRK, and would like to have some fun with this project.
