- This is Crack, v3.3c : A Sensible Password Cracker for Unix.
-
- Many improvements have been made, mostly to portability across many
- systems and architectures, bugfixes, and improvements to the dictionary
- preprocessor and fcrypt() algorithms, + password file feedback, extra
- network flexibility, and so on.
-
- Apology: Version 3.2b never made it to the public because of the major
- rewiring I had to do so that network-crack would utilise resources a bit
- more efficiently. Some person decided to release their own patches and
- call it v3.2b anyway... pity the patches cocked things up.
-
- Bugs which caused sporadic coredumping on Sun-3's have been solved (I
- certinly hope), as well as mistakes which prevented 'gcc' from compiling
- fcrypt() effectively, and the ENDIANITIS problem has been clarified in
- the configuration files (This stopped fcrypt() working on RS/6000s, HP's
- and several other bigendian platforms).
-
- As ever - start from the README and BUGS files and work on from there.
