Hi,

Does anyone have any information on how the encryption is done in Vic and
Rat?  

I have been trying to decode this using Java Crypto using a PBEWithMD5AndDES
algorithm which provides a secret key generated from a password and DES-CBS
encryption with PKCS5 Padding.  I am using 0s to initialise this as per RFC
3550 and using one iteration of the all-0 salt.

This does not appear to work with vic or rat (the unencrypted packets work
fine).  Can anyone tell me what the vic and rat algorithm for encryption is?

Thanks,

Andrew :)
