I saw several requests for a program that can break the encryption on Word for Windows ans Word for Dos files....I have just uploaded WORDPWD>ZIP to (thats wordpwd.zip) to soda.berkeley.edu cd pub/cypherpunks/incoming. I think the author put it best; HELLO MICROSOFT: If any of you are listening; it would be very nice if future versions of Winword had competent encryption that can't be broken by any kid who understands his Spiderman Secret Decoder Ring. A false sense of security is much worse than none at all. It misleads people into thinking that they have assured the confidentiality of their documents when they have in fact not, and should have used another method to do so. The best approach is to have winword call an external program to do the encryption. This would let us plug in our favourite cryptengine and save you a lot of hassle vis-a-vis export controls on useful crypto technology. --- Marc Thibault | Automation Architect | All we are saying marc@tanda.isis.org | R.R.1, Oxford Mills, | is give global CIS:71441,2226 | Ontario, Canada K0G 1S0 | warming a chance.
