Hacking

[Nesser]

Someone in this thread pointed out that the way to crack passwords is to
maintain a list of encrypted dictionary words and compare against that.  I
just want to point out that this is an amazingly expensive way to do it
since you have to keep 4096 strings for each word.  Disk space is getting
cheaper but ...  It's not that I've figured out a great way to do it myself
but ... :-)
