note 66104 added to function.crypt

Unfortunately, the encryption algorithm from geniz70's comment is so badly insecure that I have to post a follow-up comment despite this being slightly off-topic (since this is not about the crypt() function). In private e-mails, geniz70 has mentioned that he's been trying to get his comment removed, with no success so far. Dear moderators - please remove both geniz70's original comment and this comment. Meanwhile, I've placed a description of the many flaws of the encryption algorithm at this temporary URL: http://www.openwall.com/pvt/php-crypt-geniz70-comment ---- Server IP: 195.222.164.18 Probable Submitter: 195.42.160.29 (proxied: unknown) ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/66104 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66104/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66104/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66104/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66104/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66104/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66104/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66104 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/66104 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
