Hey everyone,

I've been working on a GPU-accelerated ECDLP solver specifically targeting Armadillo's ECDSA-113 protection (binary Koblitz curve over GF(2^113)).
The goal: crack the ECDSA-113 certificates used by Encryptionizer (protected with Armadillo) via distributed Pollard's Rho with distinguished points.

Live dashboard: https://ecdlp.protect.cx/

The dashboard shows real-time progress — connected agents, iteration speed, DPs collected, collision probability, ETA, leaderboard with podium for top contributors, and it will display a celebration banner when the curve is solved.

How it works:

Pollard's Rho with Frobenius + negation canonicalization (226x search space reduction)
Table-free GF(2^113) multiplication — 80 registers, zero spills
Lopez-Dahab projective coordinates (no per-step inversions)
~3.5 billion iterations/sec on RTX 5090, ~1.0 G/s on RTX 3060 Ti
Expected solve time: ~19 days on a single RTX 5090 (birthday bound ~6×10^15 iterations)
More GPUs = faster solve. Every GPU contributing brings the ETA down proportionally.

How to join:

Download the agent (Version 1.4.4):
https://ecdlp.protect.cx/download/ArmadilloSolver.zip


Extract and run:
solver_fast.exe --server ecdlp.protect.cx --worker-name "YourName" --worker-notes "Your GPU model"

That's it — zero dependencies, zero install. The agent auto-connects, receives work parameters from the server, and starts grinding.

You can limit GPU usage with --gpu-limit 50 (percentage).
You can stop the agent at any time with Ctrl+C — it saves a checkpoint automatically. When you restart it, it will resume exactly where it left off.

The zip includes both pre-built binaries (ready to run) and full source code with CMake build scripts, so you can review and compile it yourself if you prefer.

Requirements: Any NVIDIA GPU from Maxwell (GTX 900) onwards. The binary includes PTX for universal compatibility — it will JIT-compile for your specific GPU architecture on first launch.
Your contribution shows up on the dashboard leaderboard in real time. When the key is found, everyone who participated gets credited.
Shout-out to this community for all the Armadillo research over the years — this project wouldn't exist without it.
