[TheList] Encription installation commences

Even then, no.

As Neill posted a few days ago, it requires 10,000ish years was it Neill? with the current available computing power to crack the key. But the key changes frequently so it will be quite out of date after 10,000 years anyway :)

This system has been in use around the world for years, no one has cracked the encryption, and it is widely believed that no-one will anytime soon.

But if anyone wants to fire up the dusty old 386 in their garage and have a go, by all means be my guest :)

Do you really think it will be that simple?

(Answer = no)

Well thinking outside the circle

Wouldn't it be easier to just get the same speced radio and secretly clone one of the others and disable the kill feature?

another thing, if its a case of having the key - have some way to recognise the data transmitted to change the keys/encryption and set up some system to only listen for that change and record/decode it?

Cos surely at some stage someone will have a radio turned off or battery go flat when the new key is transmitted so will have to listen out for it unencrypted or is this some multi-layered system that can transmit with multiple different sets of encryption at the same time?

Food for thought?
