i love those snake oil sites, they always give me fun for days and sometimes for weeks.
i knew that all the product is lame, but i decided to examine it in order to have
 something to laugh at this week !!!
well, this is a 64 bytes key generated from the password "a"
000000: 80 80 74 74 20 20 58 58 : 2C 2C 98 98 84 84 84 84 ..tt XX,,......
000010: 48 48 2C 2C 88 88 E0 E0 : 44 44 80 80 5C 5C 5C 5C HH,,....DD..\\\\
000020: 60 60 34 34 90 90 08 08 : 2C 2C 38 38 74 74 74 74 ``44....,,88tttt
000030: 28 28 2C 2C B8 B8 90 90 : C4 C4 60 60 AC AC AC AC ((,,......``....
looks highly random !
and this one is derived from a 80 printable chars, "random" string (blind typing on the keyboard)
000000: 21 6C 79 11 79 18 28 61 : 15 0C 35 13 01 47 1E 29 !ly.y.(a..5..G.)
000010: 29 20 55 55 46 54 00 1F : 78 4B 00 55 28 4B 4B 21 ) UUFT..xK.U(KK!
000020: 29 21 0C 11 38 18 18 3A : 78 1E 29 28 42 78 55 54 )!..8..:x.)(BxUT
000030: 35 13 17 42 4B 4B 28 4B : 37 0D 7F 69 01 4B 20 78 5..BKK(K7..i.K x

here's the program

SKeyGenerator *k;
long i;
int j;

k = new SKeyGenerator;
i = k->CreateLink("a"); <- this is the master password
j = k->CreateKey(crc,1);
j = k->GenerateKey((unsigned char *)buf,64);
hexdump(0,buf,64);
