-
- Q: Where can I find ____?
- A: If you're looking for anything related to this program, you can find it at, or through the VCU
- distribution site. The primary site is located at http://www.wilter.com/wf/vcu/. If you are
- looking for something else, try a search engine.

-
- Q: Why isn't ____ implimented?
- A: ____ isn't implimented because I didn't think it would be usefull, or it wasn't possible for
- me to impliment it. Features that were requested such as "complete" wordlists (everything from a
- to ZZZZZZ, and such) weren't implimented because they're useless (you really want to crack using
- a wordlist of a few gigs?). Another highly requested feature, a front-end for Cracker Jack, was
- left out because, to my knowledge, Cracker Jack cannot be run under windows. Many other DOS based
- password crackers weren't implimented because I don't see a need, I've got the best cracker and
- some of the other most popular ones represented.

-
- Q: How do I use ____?
- A: If it's a feature of VCU, read the docs (either vcu.txt, or the HTML documentation), if it's
- a feature of one of the password crackers I've created front-ends for, read the documentation for
- that program.

-
- Q: I found a bug, what should I do?
- A: Tell me about it. Send e-mail to epicurus@wilter.com with "VCU -- BUG" in the subject line,
- I'll appreciate it, and fix it as soon as I can.

-
- Q: Why did you write VCU?
- A: It started out as a way for me to pick up Delphi (the programming language/environment that I
- wrote it in). After I started getting lots of ideas for it, it just kept growing. VCU is just a
- suite of utilities that I wrote to make it far easier to create and manage wordlists, and to run
- password crackers from a nice interface. I'm also hoping that the release of VCU will help get
- system administrators that don't use shadowed password files to start using them. If all passwd
- files were shadowed, there wouldn't be much need for password crackers, and the world would be a
- better place.
