Someone posted here, at this *very* list, cca. a year
ago, claimed that he/she found a "very easy" way to crack
Arachne. I don't think the passphrase fall into that
category. Unless if what Michael done was just comparing
the key byte by byte. Nay.. That would be really STUPID!
After all, if the poster was honest, then I guess it would
be safe to assume that there's already a working Arachne
crack out there... Which for some reason, never made
available to the public... Even to the underground public
(there are/were some .cz or .sk based websites that offered
various cracks).
I saw that crack but never used it (I might have downloaded it) and it
seems to have dissapeard now. Every such crack would need to be changed for
every new version so someone would need to keep up all the time. Personally
I liked the fact that Michael had no security on the server so you could
register yourself without any payment - but that's gone now as well.
And the crack sites you are refering to is probably
http://astalavista.box.sk/ (although you can use a mirror closer to you) in
case anyone else is interested (BTW: here cracks aren't illegal as long as
you don't use them g)
