Are there any places to look for commercial or non-commercial
cracking tools for things like DES, 3DES, PGP...etc..

My question is based on the following:
If you select a program like 3DES (156 bits iguess) and secure some
documents with password like:  IAMGOOD then the password is too weak
to create a secure document that can (i guess) whitstand a
brute-force attack.

The tools can/will be used to perform another form of pen-test:
Secure-crypto-passwords implementations. I have one client that asked
me this question and a few hours on the web revealed nothing...

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
