Adobe credential dump analysis
This is parser and attempted cracker for the 2013 Adobe credential leak.
Adobe encrypted the passwords with DES or Triple DES in block mode, so any identical 8-character plaintext sequences are also the same when encrypted. Additionally, password hints are included in plaintext, making common passwords easy to guess. These weaknesses were highlighted by XKCD 1286: Encryptic (Explain) in which the passwords were turned into a crossword puzzle.
This project assumes the passwords were encrypted with DES (56-bit key)
which is much weaker than Triple DES (168-bit key). It includes a hard
fork of crypto/des that unrolls the key generation permutations for
improved performance and uses uint64 rather than []byte in its API.
This project shall only be used for research purposes.
