Subject: Cracking GNOME Keyrings [the easy way]
Hi,
The attached trivial program cracks GNOME Keyrings at a rate of ~300
tries/second. I am not sure if the library calls used in it are
thread-safe. This program requires gnome-keyring-daemon to be running.
I am not sure if we can include something like this in even jumbo ;).
Hence I am thinking host it as a separate project on github. Thoughts?
Cracking GNOME Keyrings [the hard way] by implementing underlying
crypto is TODO.
One curious observation, do you find something weird with the following stats?
$ time ./gkcrack &> /dev/null # looping 1000 times
real 0m3.459s
user 0m0.054s
sys 0m0.281s
I was expecting user value to be high but it isn't. Is it due to
actual work being done in another process (gnome-keyring-daemon)?

Cheers,
Dhiru
