It was downloaded from http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~crypto/download/ Upstream Author: Alec Muffett Copyright: ****************************************************************** Throughout the entire history of the Crack software, the author has been employed (apart from occasional periods of unemployment) by a selection of academic institutions and companies, none of whom have ever dedicated any resources to the development of the software, nor have endorsed the development of the software in any other way. None of these institutions and companies bear any responsibility whatsoever for the software, including (but not restricted to) responsibility for its existence, structure, content, function or use by any person anywhere. ****************************************************************** The author would like to take this opportunity to thank those freeware authors who have made indirect but positive contributions to the development of Crack, notably: * Michael Glad (UFC) and Eric Young (libdes/SSLeay) for developments in the field of high-speed cryptographic implementation which have provided core functionality for Crack since 1991, * The Free Software Foundation for EMACS, GCC, and a variety of other essential software development tools, * Larry Wall for Perl (of which I cannot speak highly enough), and... * Linus Torvalds and all other contributors to the Linux project, which has provided the operating system upon which Crack has been developed for the last few years. The author would also like to thank Paul Leyland for the suggestion of several ideas key to the new release of the software, notably DAWG dictionary compression and dictionary handling techniques. ****************************************************************** (* This document is freely plagiarised from the 'Artistic Licence', distributed as part of the Perl v4.0 kit by Larry Wall, which is available from most major archive sites *) This documents purpose is to state the conditions under which this Package (See definition below) viz: The "Crack" Password Cracker, which is copyright Alec David Edward Muffett, may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some semblance of artistic control over the development of the package, while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make reasonable modifications. ****************************************************************** Definitions: "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created through textual modification, or segments thereof.
