*any* kind? Given today's CPU speeds, 40 bit encryption is essentially rot-13.
Brute-force test all 1,099,511,627,776 keys in a few minutes.  If you have a
botnet of more than a few hundred machines, it will take more compute power to
distribute the job than it will to break the keys.  Still think "*any*" is good enough? :)
