Hash: SHA1


ScramDisk, a file system encryption program for Windows 95 & 98
implements a form of steganography;  a Fat16 disk can be created in
the low bits of a WAV file and only someone with the passphrase can
mount the volume.

ScramDisk implements DES, IDEA, Blowfish, 3DES, TEA, Square and MISTY1
and uses SHA-1 to hash passphrases.  It comes with full source code
and is totally FREE.

I would recommend waiting until Monday 24/8/98 until downloading the
program - v2.02 is due to be released and contains loads of new
features and bug fixes.

I would like to see UK Customs and Excise prove that a slightly hissy
WAV file is really porn :-)

Sorry for the shameless plug,
