You could have an working implementation serval years ago if somebody
would have asked the THC-Group. THey knew about the algorithm for some
time... BUt they'll also reject any requests. :-)

Would it be interesting? Yes
Even cracking ZIP-Archives with John would be interesting.

But like everything wich would be interesting: It's not implemented
yet. :-)


Kind regards,
Sebastian

p.s.
If you wanna implement it: Please use a "free" License (e.g.
BSD-License) There already some PlugIn wich can't get include (as far
as I know) because of the license.
