Decrypting MIX filesUltraq23:40 15-04-2006

Hi Olaf,

I've been reading the documentation (that HTML file) you've written about decryption in RA mix files and the code you've used to decrypt the headers.

I've been able to figure-out what your Blowfish code/class is doing, but when I get to the ws-key, I can't figure-out what's going on. Most of the XXX_bignum methods I can see are just add/sub/mul/div/shl/shr sort of calculations on your bignum construct, but the methods init_two_dw, and calc_a_bignum, they have me completely confused.

Care to shed some light on what these methods are doing, or what the process of getting the 56-byte key from the 80-byte key source involves?

Thanks in advance, and for writing that document on mix files too; without it, I wouldn't have anywhere to begin.

Oh, and Happy Easter :)
