RC4 is pretty secure. I assure you that nobody will crack this rule book in time, unless they are really really really lucky. If you try to argue this point then i would say you don't have a very god understanding of RC4. Yes a few helpful vulnerabilities do exist, but these only reduce the time needed, and even then unless you have some $@#$@#$@#$@# powerful computers, it will still take to long. RC4 is actually pretty interesting. There are many good papers about it on the internet.

While RC4 is rather secure, the adobe implementation is poor, and not nearly as secure as it could be. Its almost as bad as the WEP implementation.

Our state has the 3rd fastest supercomputer in the world, the G5 'Big Mac' Teracluster. Frankly, next year, I'm going to be making a trip to Blacksburg to have some fun cracking....

Man, I'm disappointed that there won't be any real manuel (sp?) in the Kit o' Parts. I wonder if they'll give out the code before or after the field unvailing..........
