I just have to say thanks for mentioning 'parkour'! I looked it up on Wikipedia and learned about it. I played Mirror's Edge and thought that the whole idea of the runners and their movement techniques was really cool, and now I learn there is an actual word for the movement techniques! That's great.
Now I'm off to learn parkour IRL.
It's not that hard to do this attack, but it does take some resources. They used a farm of 200 Playstation 2 machines to attack MD5. This is well within the capabilities of, say, the Russian Business Network.
Actually, they were PlayStation 3 machines. "Luckily it is also very suited for the special SPU cores of the Cell Processor that the Sony PlayStation 3 uses. We had about 200 PS3s at our disposal, located at the 'PlayStation Lab' of Arjen Lenstra at EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland"
I picked mine up at the Antik Road Show.
All right, enough of these silly antiks.
