Someone may wish to send an email directly to Kevin at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to ask for CVS write acess.
Otherwise, how many people use this list? We could crack Kevin's password, if we could round up enough people, e.g. 100, and if anyone knows the login name. *snicker* Password cracking works by knowing the login and length of the password (the length can be cycled through if it is not known; a minimum and maximum is helpful) and then 'counting' through all possible characters. Assumptions about all possible characters are usually: no space characters; first, assume it has only lowercase letters; then try same thing again with and numbers at the end; then same thing with numbers everywhere besides the end; repeat with uppercasem mixed too; finally try '!' etc. and allow spaces. If the allowed characters were just 0 and 1 and the length were 3 then one would do this: 000 Try that password. Then increment the rightmost character: 001 and again, until it 'overflows'. Then go left one character and repeat until the whole thing has overflowed. Stop when the password that was tried works. *snicker* ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Lawton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 2:08 PM Subject: Re: [plex86] bochs 1.3 --> plex86? > > --- "Dr. Yasha Karant" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Plex86 is a fine starting point.
