hope you didn't spend long on it, the source is here: http://quintile.net/papers/sam-refcard.tbl if you want to reformat it. some times I think this refcard is all I will be remembered for - better than nothing I guess. -Steve On 15 Jul 2015, at 09:27, Anssi Porttikivi

I think just replacing des keys with AES is not worth it. there is so little data that des is quite secure (imho). replacing p9sk1 with pki is much more useful. rus posted to 9fans about wanting to do this so a terminal could cache tickets to speed auth when the auth server is remote - I
