I'm considering the idea of cutting a crypto CD, and wanted to see if there was any potential interest in the idea, or not. Basically what i forsee is a disk with the basic algorithms (DES/IDEA/Etc), and steg tools, along with a few large crypto aps like PGP, and basic cracking software (Crypt Breakers Work Bench, XOR-type crackers, and dictionary attacks with a few dozen dictionaries). I'd also like to include a remail directory with some remailer sources, remailer-aware clients, and the mixmaster sources. And of course as much infomation as possible -- cyphernomicon preferably, possibly even archives of this list.. I would plan to put unix/dos/mac all on one CD. I'm thinking that realistically I can expect 50 megs or so. Possibly as much as 100 if I find a TON of wonderful text. Could be useful to individuals, as well as for groups wishing to create FTP sites etc. Pricing with shipping would wind up around US$20.00, give or take 5 dollars.. I'd like to know first off whether such a thing already exists. Secondly whether anyone would be interested in possesing such a thing. And lastly any suggestions for/about content that I may have missed.. Thanks Benji

You expect me to pay 20 bucks, and you won't even download the contents of ftp.dsi.unimi.it, the archives on hks.net, and maybe a few other international crypto archives? More seriously, a completist cd rom would be nice, but the marginal cost of filling the CD with stuff is pretty low. Adam -- "It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once." -Hume
