Hi all - =


I hacked together some code this past week that allows me to decrypt the =
GNU
Keyring DB on a PC.  It's all written in Java and uses only the Java JDK =
1.3.1
as well as the Sun JCE 1.2.1 for crypto stuff (I think these are packaged=

together in the latest beta version of the Java SDK).

My reason for doing this is that I've always wanted to print out all my
passwords to a hard copy somewhere for backup.  I know this is dangerous =
from
a security point of view but I'm not entirely comfortable with backup to =
a PC.
 (I once had my laptop stolen, in the bag was also my Palm, and had I not=

printed out my address book to paper I would have lost everything.)

This is somewhat similar to the GUI that Stefan Wundrak wrote but that do=
esn't
allow you to just decrypt everything and print it out.  This code is real=
ly
simple - all you can do is enter in your password and then it decrypts al=
l the
records in your database and prints them out on the screen.  I then just =
cut
and paste the output into Word and print it out.

I don't have a website so I can't post the code anywhere, and being new t=
o
this mailing list don't know if attachments are allowed.  So if anyone wa=
nts
the code, just send me an email and I'll email it to you.

Thanks,
Constantin Tanno
