I knows this isn't really the place to ask but... I've been reading about this RC5 challenge, and took a look at the master site (http://zero.genx.net/), and I have a question. I've got a few Linux boxes here, and am running the rc5-i586 client on them. I've read through the information on rsa.com, but I'm still a little foggy as to how one would 'win' this competition? If the server hands you the keyspace that just happens to have the correct answer in it, then do you win, or am I missing the point? If I were to run the client as a background process, how would it notify me in the event that I found the answer?
Thanks, Matt
