Hi Donald,

Your boss has given you an impossible task if you try to address his request
directly. Take a different route and look at keylength.com as a way to
identify candidate crypto algorithms based on how long you want to keep a
secret, 'secret'.

Subject: Blowfish cracker

I got tasked with trying to crack a couple of blowfish encrypted passwords
and I now need a cracker. I know that this is pretty impossible but my boss
wants a demonstration on how long it would take to crack this. Could someone
suggest a good cracker?
