Brute Force Crack App?

[~Shard~]

Well, here in Norway it's actually legal to copy music (CDs) and movies (DVDs) if you have obtained them legally, specified in the law as if they're bought, rented, loaned (on public libraries or your "close family and friends"). Software is excepted from this law and thus illegal to copy (ironicly in som cases even for backup - Norwegian legislation is really ****ed up, but for now I won't complain... ).

So, if I had a more DVD-ripping friendly machine than the iBook, I would probably be very interested in ways to rip DVDs and burn them on a LaCie DVD±RW I can borrow when needed. And it would, as I said, be perfectly legal...

It's legal here, too, to make a backup of a disc you own, but all I'm saying is that few people create "back-ups" for this purpose. I appreciate the fact that you do though, and I am in fact one of those people as well - I've backed up some of my favorite discs as well, although when it comes to audio CDs, now that I have my iPod, I don't as much as I used to.

This might be noobishly asked because I don't fully follow, but anyway, here goes:
So with all the things Shard said, is there any reason to worry about someone 'hacking' into personal systems using a BFA? and if so is there anything the personal home user can do to prevent/deter this from happening?

I would tend to make the assumption that the people with these apps usually don't care about the little home user, but you never know and its more a curiosity than a fear. I live in sticks compared to some of you large-city folk, so I really don't care about much of this security stuff. Triple firewall has kept everyone off my back for years

Same ?

I know that there are many apps available for Windows pc's, but I was wondering if there are any for Mac (OS X)?

Alright, so anyways does anyone know of a Mac Brut Force Attack program, for say opening .rar files you have lost the passcode too?

I asked a month or so ago, no answers.

You could try rarcrack.

Might be able to Google up something, too.

Since I used to be involved with these all the time, let me try to explain. I used to work at the CSE, Communications Security Establishment, the Canadian version of the NSA

If you really worked with CSE you'd be breaking the secrecy act you signed when you started working there and you now face prosecution for treason.

I doubt you worked with CSE..
