Hi, if I am not wrong (pls tell me if so) Microsoft encrypt the ssl private key with DES or tri-DES (strong)?
Brute forcing the key means you have to try out each key input to the DES algo? Use openSSL to find out more about the export file first. tools that bruteforce DES should be easily available or you can code one yourself ;) --------- Original Message --------- DATE: Tue, 22 Jul 2003 16:48:18 From: "Larry Lou" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: >Hi all, > >I need some help!
