So the SHA-1 collision guys say
"As a side result, this shows that it now costs less than 100k USD to break cryptography with a security level of 64 bits (i.e. to compute 2^64 operations of symmetric cryptography)."
But @tmbinc already cracked 56 bits for $1k 9 years ago.

@tmbinc’s nice work, but wasn’t he bruteforcing incrementally and the top 16bits were like 00 11? Hence the success occurred very early on in the bruteforce as opposed to a key that starts with FF EE.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
He got lucky on that, but the system was designed to bruteforce the entire keyspace in a week.
