[Passwordsafe-users] decrypting the .dat file

[Arnaud S. <arn...@gm...>]

Hi,

I saw some previous posting on this topic but no conclusion.

I agree that decrypting the .dat file may create some security issues.
However, since PasswordSafe only runs on a windows platform, what
happens when I am travelling with no Windows box around.

I would like to be able to decrypt the .dat file from any machine,
from the command line for instance.

My guess is that the .dat file stores the passwords as ASCII, with AES
or Blowfish encryption, and maybe some salting. I just would like to
know which algorithm to use.
Once again, without the password, the only way to crack the .dat file
is to use brute force or dictionary attack.

regards,

Arnaud
