Exploring Key Retrieval with Kangaroo Algorithm

0xKing · 2024-01-06T07:50:00.000Z

I was curious about how long it takes a regular PC without a GPU to fetch a key in the range of 2^74 to 2^75. So I coded my version of the kangaroo algorithm and ran some tests.

Thanks! I’m also getting inconsistencies in my tests.

That’s normal. You need to run a lot of tests, like 1000, to get solid averages.

I've been getting around 65 seconds for some keys, but I was hoping for faster.

You should be aiming for under 40 seconds for 85-bit keys, ideally.

Your times seem off... Did you use enough workers?
