Bruteforce-Search DES Keyspace

[fraggle]

For this project I used the Verilog hardware description language to design a brute force DES key cracker nicknamed to search the abbreviated keyspace of the LM algorithm. The search is done by hardware running on a Altera Cyclone II FPGA containing 33,216 logic elements (LEs). The final design runs on a DE2 development and education board as a self contained entity. Users control the device by interacting with four pushbuttons and a toggle switch. Information is displayed on the LCD.

Yet another cracking hardware such as copacabana ( which I have also mentioned in a thread in this area ).
It is always fascinating what universities are capable of!
