If you know what made it, you might be able to find out what the algorithm is. Also, why is it important to find the algorithm but not the key? I would suggest an MD5 hash or something except that I don't believe MD5 hashes produce different-length ciphertext for same-length plaintext. The key word is "believe" (not even "think"), because I'm totally talking out my [EDIT]. --=20 Josh Ockert WMU Student: Computer Science, French Linguistics -- The irony in biblical creationists' rhetoric of implicitly claiming that God is too stupid to make carbon decay at a constant rate is too delicious to ignore.
