Subject: Cool Shadow: UNIX crypt(3) toy!

Tired of easy-to-remember passwords and garbage-looking crypt(3) strings?
Now you can have it the other way around!  Cool Shadow is a toy I wrote a
few weeks ago for all you UNIX/crypto-heads with too much time and CPU on
your hands.  It generates random-ish passwords which encrypt to
cool-looking strings when run through crypt(3) for your passwd/shadow
file.  Impress your friends!  Scare the script kiddies who run crack
against your passwd file!

Pick it up at http://homepage.oz-online.net/~logic/coolshadow/

Of course it's free.  Who would pay for such nonsense?
