Re: Blowfish cracker

[Karyn Pichnarczyk <karyn () sandstorm net>]

You didn't mention what system these passwords were on, or what
application they were in.  The cracking tool would depend upon
that. I don't know of any blowfish decrypters, but there's
always the bruteforce method.

Here's a quote by Bruce Schneier about cracking Blowfish:

http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/04/blowfish_on_24.html

For cracking tools, google on these terms: "bruteforce" "cracking" "password".
You'll get hits.  Select the one that delights you the most.
