Hi,

I am developing some code to do a sort of brute force attack on PGP
IDEA-encrypted files (symmetric cipher).

I am using the GnuPG publily available code but I have found one major
problem:

- I have encrypted one small file with PGP7 and IDEA resulting "test.pgp"

- I have downloaded both versions of GnuPG from http://www.nullify.org
(1.0.4-2 and 1.0.6) with IDEA compiled-in and tried them to decrypt my
"test.pgp" file. Of course using the correct password. The thing is : ** It
Doesn't Work !! **

Have you had any success decrypting and IDEA file with an IDEA-patched
GnuPG? If so please tell me.

Also, if you have any idea what may be going on also tell.

I'll be searching the newsgroups for the answer. Thanks in advance,

C. J.
