Hi.
I hope, it's a recovery tool for forgotten passwords. The program site informs:
Warning: Please don't use this program for any illegal things!
BTW. We have one more tool in the _security_ repository. ;) https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=security&package=pdfcrack
It can also be a pen-testing tool. It's really no job of a distribution to worry about how users use the software inside. I mean, if it was a botnet, whose only discernible purpose is inherently illegal, maybe (and just maybe). But password cracking software exists for many reasons other than to crack someone else's password. And even if not, until someone legally complains, and somehow the distribution is forced to remove it, I see no point in banning any software. If it was just the potential for illegal use, you'd also ban cp, since it can be used to copy copyrighted content, and also gimp, since it can be used to edit content licensed under no-derivatives, and whatever other software you could imagine was harmless, which can most certainly be used for some illegal purpose. Not to mention that password cracking, in my IANAL view (because IANAL), isn't illegal at all. At least in my jurisdiction. So no... there's no reason to ban it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
