Hi,I'm trying to assess our systems security, and I'm looking at CVS right now. I cam across an article, `Securing CVS on OpenBSD` [http://www.blacksheepnetworks.com/security/resources/running-a-secure-cvs.pdf] that the password in .cvspass can be obtained easily as the encryption algorithm is well-known and reverisble.
Can anyone direct me to more information / the algorithm? A Google search isn't helping.
Thanks. Lee
