FYI, What's being described here is the lanman password.. For windows, a password can be up to 14 chars (two 7 byte chunks). On the AS400 where 10 bytes is the limit, it's 7 and 3. Keith > The program I used took into consideration that the 10 char passwords are split into two separate units; one of 7 chars and one of 3 chars. Plus it took into consideration some of the other 'reduction in security features' of the AS/400 passwords too. Net effect was a brute force attack[1] that produced (the correct) results in about 20 mins. > > --phil > > [1] In a prior email I said 'decrypt, not brute force'. I misstated that, it is a brute force attack.
