A Blog Post shows that crypt on Solaris 10 does not use anything like DES, RSA, AES etc (wich are typically involved when speaking of “128 Bit encryption”). It uses a weak function that can be broken by many tools, one mentioned in that very article. Use the openssl library or tools when you need up-to-date cryptography.
