I object to this. Several people, including me, have cracked this password which
wasn't exactly a hard nut to crack, and yet nobody published it in the open.
We haven't published it for several reasons:
a) It's a proprietary oracle information and shouldn't be published
without a prior written permission from Oracle. In other words, by
publishing
this, you broke the law.
b) There was an unwritten gentlemen's (and ladies, too) agreement that oracle
will not
change it, until it becomes widely known. Oracle will probably react by
changing
the password in the next patchset.
Not that I've ever been compelled to use tools as drastic as BBED, but knowing
that I can,
if I need to, was comforting and nice. Now, you've wasted my efforts to crack
the password
made it questionable whether the utility will be useful ever again. Te rephrase
it in ANSI
standard English, you probably ruined it for me. Thanks a bunch!

Jared, this is the primary reason why I object to beginners using this list
indiscriminately,
as the foremost source of knowledge. Allowing that results in people, like this
poster, who
have enough patched up knowledge to be dangerous and to make life harder for
the rest of us.
I implore you to remove this guy from the list, as a warning to others. This
guy shouldn't be
allowed to post here any more.
