I saw this on the local news here in Indianapolis. They noted that a
couple of Purdue CS students were able to decrypt Kerberos V4 (they
noted that thousands of banks and financial institutions use it) in an
amazing 1.7 seconds!........It was suppose to be secure from
decryption for centuries!........Kinda scary, huh?
