for what i've seen there's no way to get ciphertext value before one
of the cmp_??? functions .
i've tried an ugly hack to get ciphertext from get_salt, which is
usually called before crypt_all ; i did a
memcpy(crypted_key,realcipher,BINARY_SIZE);
inside get_salt() to save on a "local" variable that has been declared
inside the fmt_plug.c file .
this works nicely on the initial test, but after that crypted_key keeps
on remaing a default value and never change; i suspect i'm not reading
real data but just "gibberish" .
i wish i could call binary() but i need ciphertext which is available
only at a "superior" layer.
any idea ?
