Hi Dave, sorry that SD4L didn't open all of your Win98SE Scramdisk containers. This is so because not all ciphers of the Windows Scramdisk are supported by SD4L. IDEA isn't supported because it is patented. Misty 1 and Tea with only 16 rounds aren't supported either because they are very weak ciphers. This behavior is documented (see the documentation link on the web site or the file /usr/share/doc/scramdisk/scramdisk_en.pdf from the installation of the software. The error message 'Sorry, the passphrase is wrong' is a consequence of the design of Scramdisk and SD4L. They create containers which are indistinguishable from files filled with random numbers if you don't know the passphrase. That means that the cases of a wrong passphrase and of an unsupported cipher with the correct passphrase can't be distinguished either. Best regards Ulrich sd...@a8... wrote: > 10.

Seems like my previous problems were an aberration but must be careful about cipher choice because of the Scramdisk partial incompatibility : Win98SE (SD 3.01A release 3) = Blowfish, Tea 16 & 32, IDEA, DES, Square, Misty one & Triple DES 168 bit > > > Regards, > > Dave. |
