To: cypherpunks@toad.com Date: Mon Sep 23 12:52:32 1996 Sorry to disturb everyone, but I've got a questions that is (gasp!) immediately related to crypto:
Does anyone have any info on the encryption used in the Paradox (4.5 for Win) database? I've got someone that has an encrypted (well, password-protected :-) Paradox database that needs some maintenance, and the person that knew the password is now - shall we say - 'no longer with them'. Right now, doesn't matter if it's something clever, or a brute-force hack; they just need to get into the tables and such.
