Debian removed encryption from bcrypt utility, calling it “a broken toy”
- Iv 11y agoI know it is 2 years old news but I just noticed (maybe Ubuntu took longer to import this debian modification) I have only seen bcrypt praised here, so I thought I would put a head up.
- technion 11y agoThere's some confusion here, because the bcrypt algorithm people recommend, is unrelated to this Blowfish encryption tool. The product's page suggests it is a long dead project. http://bcrypt.sourceforge.net/ http://bcrypt.sourceforge.net/ That it used ECB seems to have come up on their mailing list in 2003. http://sourceforge.net/p/bcrypt/mailman/message/108247/ http://sourceforge.net/p/bcrypt/mailman/message/108247/
