They claim 218 CPU days to break it, CPU speed not specified but probably on the order of 3GHz. Rough estimate, running on Amazon's EC2 cluster, which are approx 1.5GHz CPUs, that would take 440 CPU days. At $0.10 / hour, or $2.4 / day, that would be slightly over $1000. If I read it correctly, the result is that you have the *master* key. $1000 is a small price to pay to be able to intercept remotes!
