Bunkersoft of Mountain View has a VMS password hacker . . . .
The method used is a brute force attack. . . . .
Please, this is more appropriately called a password *cracker* --
analogous to a safe cracker. Many of us have been hacking, i.e.
seat-of-the-pants programming -- not breaking into computers -- for
years.
Thanks,
David Booth
