We hope to have another binary release by the end of the week. We've just got a couple of bug fixes to go.



Hi Rich,

<prod>!

http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Download has pointers to new
releases (Fedora Directory Server 1.0) but the links all give me 404's.

So are we getting closer to that binary release?


Closer . . .

You do realize that MD5 has been _fully_ broken now, don't you? And I'm not talking about dictionary attacks; I'm talking about a fast mathematical attack vector on the algorithm itself.


An interesting demonstration here:

Collision generators here:

The new and improved collision generator:

http://www.stachliu.com/md5coll.c

"Old (Wang, et al.) average run time on IBM P690 supercomputer - 1 hour"
        - out of reach for most people

"New average run time on P4 1.6ghz PC - 45 minutes"
        - within reach for nearly everyone


Now, storing md5 doesn't seem much safer than storing crypt.
