Ditto. As I and, you, and others have mentioned... cryptography isn't a game for newbies. I'm sure the author's of cfencrypt thought their code was cool... but I'm just as sure that serious hacker types (especially those who do it for the money) were laughing their [censored] off when they ran in that alg.
