Hi everyone, I thought people here should be aware of this issue. I came across some pseudo code for the toplink workbench encryption algorithm and sample code on a website to do the encryption manually without toplink workbench. By definition decryption is now easy from this unfortunately. I have added a link to the information to my Oracle security papers page http://www.petefinnigan.com/orasec.htm If you use this tool beware that the passwords in the xml file can be decrypted. kind regards Pete -- Pete Finnigan email:pete@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web site: http://www.petefinnigan.com - Oracle security audit specialists Book:Oracle security step-by-step Guide - see http://store.sans.org for details. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
