Has anyone rewritten HPWD.MAR in a higher level language (preferably c)?
There are two reasons for this - I would like to use it to hash passwords
under Unix (I'm trying to make it more secure) and secondly, I'd like
to crack passwords more rapidly :-) As part of our regular security
checks, we run SYSUAF.DAT through a dictionary and expire all passwords
that we guess. Currently on our 8700 it takes about 5 minutes per account,
but on an idle RS/6000 it might be a little quicker!
If noone has done it, I'll just do it myself, so comments about security
are probably not appropriate, although I'd be happy to discuss this
via e-mail.
