DES cracking as a service: crack.sh/

"Behind crack.sh is a system with 48 Xilinx Virtex-6 LX240T FPGAs. Each FPGA contains a design with 40 fully pipelined DES cores running at 400MHz for a total of 16,000,000,000 keys/sec per FPGA, or 768,000,000,000 keys/sec for the whole system. This means that it can exhaustively search the entire 56-bit DES keyspace in ~26 hours"

Amazing enough stuff still uses DES that this is a thing.

@pete I knew triple DES was in quite wide use, but plain DES is surprising.
