I agree, Alan. this is no difference when somebody have FULL access to files.
I just want to hide password from casual observer who can  see for a moment
this file. It's like qualcomm popper saves passwords in gdb-file.
passwords are just xor'ed there.

It's no matter - RC4 or elementary XOR.
Even 'QWxhbg' (base64 without '=' padding) looks less readable then 'Alan' ;)


Now i know how to load crypted password - i need use other attribute
for this. After decryption perl have to add User-Password attribute to
Check-Items. It works.

Thank you.
