[W]e report on the first physical demonstration of a fault-based security attack of a complete microprocessor system running unmodified production software: we attack the original OpenSSL authentication library running on a SPARC Linux system implemented on FPGA, and extract the system’s 1024-bit RSA private key in approximately 100 hours.

That's some crazy shit.
Takes "brute force" to a whole other level.

According to the copyright info inside the PDF, this dates to 2007. And no pictures of the hardware farm used in the attack.

Yeah, but given that the majority of PCs are infected with malware, I bet some less scrupulous person could have a botnet that cracks RSA keys in a matter of hours. Wouldn't surprise me if it already exists.

Where do you see that ?
Must be a mistake, since they reference works as late as Aug 2008.
