A second thread on c.d.o.s. about the Oracle password algorithm
It seems that this guy has been busy as he has also posted the same text to the Unix Documentation Project as http://nixforums.org/files/forum/post-255354.html - (broken link) How to crack an Oracle password info. I have done some quick searches and found that it looks like he has posted this same information 3 times on July 17, August 11 and August 19.
