I'm more interested in the standard Unix DES crypt() though. The strange thing is that standard DES crypt() is much easier to brute force than MD5 crypt(), but the DES crypt() is export controlled... > In Cryptix 3.0.3 there is a crypt program, which implements > the DES variant (from memory).

Ugh... rewriting crypt() from scratch seems faster... > iang > > PS: http://www.cryptix.org/ Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
