tool which performs an attack against an encryption key

ddaas · 03-13-2006, 02:27 AM

Hi there,
Does anyone know a program (something like John the Ripper) which performs a brute-force or/and a dictionary attack on an encryption key (or phrase of the encryption key).
I should give the program the encryption algorithm, key length, encryption mode, key file and maybe some encrypted data.

Is it out there such a tool?

I want it for security audit testing and other white-hat security related purpose.

Thanks

Cain will do that. www.oxid.it

Cain is a Windows cracker tool and breaking security is part of what it does. I don't know if it will run in Wine; haven't tried it.
