All, I occasionally manage some APC PDU devices. I manage them via a VPN, which enforces super-heavy crypto, and their access is restricted to only jumphosts and the VPN. Basically, the only time you need to log into these is when you go to reboot something that's down. Their web UI with SSL doesn't work with modern browsers. Their CPU is...tiny, and their SSHd implementation

Quoth manpage: otherwise easily guessable (English prose has only 1-2 bits of entropy per word, and provides very bad passphrases). The passphrase can be Whoever wrote that manpage is either possessed of some amazing human insight to which I am not privvy, chose a very non-representative sample of English prose, or is just plain wrong. I know none of you would ever make such a glaring error,

This was posted not too long ago on sci.crypt... Enjoy... I think the most relevant information is near the top, but it''s all quite good... :-) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- There is no intrinsic difference between algorithm and data, the same information can be viewed as data in one context and as algorithm in another. Why then do so many people claim that encryption algorithms
