Comment Don't worry about crypt() (Score 4) 142
Talking about the cracked crypt() function is absolutely ridiculous. For starters, it was fixed internally a week before the posting on Slashdot (i.e. the developers found out about it and started fixing it - forget the conspiracy theory). It was only the crypt() function for QNX4 that was cracked. The flavour of QNX that is being given away it Neutrino, with a different type of crypt that isn't cracked. On a side note, having a way to crack the crypt doesn't do a damn load of good on an ATM, or almost any sort of machine that has QNX on it. On the other hand, if you *do* see an ATM, or heart monitor that has an exposed floppy drive and keyboard, feel free to haxor that thing for all it's worth.
