It encodes, not encrypts. I am not aware of anyone cracking it and based on the number of folks who ask me to try and unpack the encoded files to get the password back that they forgot I would guess no one has. -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm

My suggestion is that you rethink your process because this sounds like a really crappy plan that you've got. I believe Joe Richards' cpau utility on joeware.net supports some type of encryption of credentials that you could use if you must do this.
