thanks, but actually the crack of Encrypt-It's proprietary algorithms is by
Casimir.
his Crypt-o-Text crack is also on my page, along with his paper on cracking
Turbo Encrypto. Randall Williams's analysis of Turbo Encrypto is also on the
page.
A few of LANAKI's lessons on Classical Cryptography are there, too, which
might
interest some of you who asked about cryptanalysis for beginners.

a book -- well maybe later.
i had been planning to do an article on snake-oil -- naming names, as above...
do any of you think it would be of any interest (or useful) to the general
public?
perhaps, with a few apt quotes from some of the heavyweights here, and perhaps
a good crack (of Meganet's VMEwhatever, or Ciphile's "unbreakable"
encryption)
the article would be even stronger. right now i am toying, off and on, with
Wizzard
Software's Encrypto! (http://www.wizzardsoftware.com/encrypto.html) is the
Meganet crack still on? we probably better hurry...
