Ummm... I think it'll take more then loads of time to crack MD5 passwords.
Isn't it like a 16^64 keyspace? Considering it's taking distributed.net
more
than a couple years to crack a 2^64 keyspace, I'd say it's probably the
wrong
way to go if OpenBSD stores its passwords in MD5. Er maybe I don't know
how this password hacking works. Anyone care to enlighten?
