Not to mention that password cracking, in my IANAL view (because IANAL), isn't illegal at all. At least in my jurisdiction.
It is not in most jurisdictions, but Germany has some of the strictest laws for computer hacking tool distribution and openSUSE follows German law for the repositories.
If it really was like that, why do we still have traceroute and nmap?
Arguably, those tools are diagnostic tools, not password cracking tools.
May I remind people that cracklib (a password cracking library) is part of the core tools? To help check password strength when using passwd? (through pam_cracklib) There's nothing shady about password cracking, as there's nothing shady about copying files. It's the intent and purpose of specific instances of those actions what matters, but that kind of distinction doesn't belong to a software package blacklist.
