Karyn,

Your link is the blog about the show 24. (they had mentioned blowfish
and as true to tv, were in fantasy land ) Everybody
Blogging got a kick out of it.

Does not matter on the system or application. Des,blowfish ...ect are
ported to many different systems, but the result is always the same. If
someone has a file or even an encrypted string, they can attempt to
crack it.

Ie: you can cut/paste something from a unix box from your pc. Jack The
Ripper is a very good cracker. (as are others) Des,Blowfish..ect have
Been around for a while and so are the 'new' cracking programs.

You didn't mention what system these passwords were on, or what
application they were in. The cracking tool would depend upon that. I
don't know of any blowfish decrypters, but there's always the bruteforce
method.

Here's a quote by Bruce Schneier about cracking Blowfish:

http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/04/blowfish_on_24.html

For cracking tools, google on these terms: "bruteforce" "cracking"
"password".
You'll get hits. Select the one that delights you the most.
