Bug#222899: Is this legal? [RFP: djohn -- Distributed password cracker]
Password cracking in itself has always been legal AFAIK.
Using password crackers to crack other peoples systems without
permission (ie. illegally obtaining access) is definitely illegal.
There are legitimate uses for tools like djohn, eg. for security
testing, for data recovery, etc.

Hi,
I was checking some old RFP's and I find this one. Is a little program
that distribute the job of cracking passwords using John the Ripper.
I think this is not totally legal to be packaged officially for Debian.
Jose Luis,
P.S. Please CC me your answers since I'm not suscribed to d-l@l.d.o, thanks.
