Yeah but the catch is that while the genie may be out, you're in (prison) ^_^
Making things disappear of the internet is pretty damn hard, impossible maybe, but that won't stop a government trying and prosecuting who it wishes on the way.

Haha good luck with making source code illegal. Once the genie's out of the bottle that's it. And it is out.
are wpa cracking firmwares allowed to be released publicly? Or are there laws against it?
In Germany you are not allowed to have software for cracking WPA keys. I don't know of any other countries where it is forbidden, but IANAL. Pyrit (WPA gracking software for GPUs) is hosted on Google code.

I'm sure the NSA has a lot of information about this..
Bitcoin mining and other typical uses of FPGA differ in an important aspect. While mining has very low demand for I/O, it is crucial for many other typical FPGA tasks. E.g. HDMI dectyption, wide-band GSM demodulation and various crypto purposes.
Do anyone have experience in using mining FPGA boards for other purposes? E.g. WPA cracking? Fast DES decryption with unknown key? Are some boards more fit for this than other boards?
