Two popular encryption plugins for Back Orifice 2000 have been found to
have serious security flaws: BO_CAST and BO2K IDEA. Both have been fixed.
The flaw is that due to a small error in one line of the MD5 hash
algorithm code, any password generated the same hash.

The fixed versions are available at:
IDEA:      http://www.wynne.demon.co.uk/maw/IDEAEncrypt.zip
BO_CAST:   http://www.roe.ch/cgi-bin/bo_cast.pl
