I had a thought, is it possible for me to Telnet into my campus account with multiple windows and crack RC5?

NFS4,

Without permission, it's against contest rules.

Not to mention, if your sysadmins have any idea what they are doing, they have set process limits on all student/user accounts. For example, any process (for example, the dnet client) may automatically be killed when it reaches a certain threshold of CPU time or running time.

 

[NFS4]

"Running any CPU or memory intensive programs for prolonged periods
of time or in the background is prohibited. This includes, but is not
limited to setiathome and rc5des clients."

DOH!!!!!!! :|

NFS4 you can recruit your classmates/teachers, you could start a NCSU mini-team within TA .. that might do very well

Back in my dark horse days, I telnetted into Compaqs alpha devision, and was greeted with the message "RC5 and Seti@Home are stricly forbidden on these systems..." So I would not recommend running RC5 over a telnet anywhere, even if you have permission on that system. People may start to get suspicious.

p.s: I knew the guy that had access to the alpha division, he let me in, and then changed his password.
