For the last week I've been writing a parser suitable for filesystem forensics. All I can say is, "preach it, brother." I printed out hardcopy of the whole of RFC4880 and have pages from it pinned up to my cubicle walls. There is also a sheet of paper pinned up there that has a red circle about six inches across and a caption beneath of, "BEAT HEAD HERE." I find myself referring to that almost as much as I do to RFC4880. (Speaking of that project: thank you, Peter and David, for pointing me towards the file(1) magic numbers library. It works well enough for my purposes.) _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
