- http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~mkwan/bitslice/;
-
- * Eli Biham --
- for great "bitslice" paper:
- http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~biham/Reports/cs0891.ps.gz;
-
- * Roman Rusakov --
- for his optimization hints, and original x86 assembly DES code;
-
- * Lionel Cons --
- for making me add the AFS passwords support, reporting some bugs,
- and for many good advices;
-
- * stran9er --
- for tracking down the section alignment problem with MMX in the
- DOS and Win32 ports;
-
- * All the people who have developed freeware crypt(3) implementations --
- for various tricks that I combined in my routines;
-
- * Niels Provos and Poul-Henning Kamp --
- for original Blowfish-based and MD5-based crypt(3), respectively,
- that my implementations are compatible with;
-
- * Alec Muffett --
- for the original wordlist rules syntax;
-
- * The SOrCErEr --
- for proving the large charsets are worth implementing, and for
- introducing '-groups' in his cracker;
-
- * Jackal --
- for the format of john.pot, and parts of the user interface;
-
- * Anton Ertl --
- for "Labels as Values" optimization that I use in compiler.c:
- http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/papers/ertl96diss.ps.gz;
-
- * The people at Cygnus --
- for Cygnus Developer's Kit (http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/)
- that I used for the Win32 port, and for EGCS;
-
- * DJ Delorie --
- for DJGPP (http://www.delorie.com), and
-
- * Charles W Sandmann --
- (sandmann@clio.rice.edu; 1206 Braelinn, Sugar Land, TX 77479),
- who wrote the DPMI server that I use for the DOS port: its source
- code is available at:
- ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2misc/csdpmi4s.zip.

- How Can I Contact You?
- ========================
-
- Send mail to solar@false.com.
-
- Please, don't ask me questions until you read doc/FAQ (and some FAQs on
- password cracking in general, if you're unfamiliar with it). Also, do not
- send me password files, I'm not a cracking service.
