It's a few things that are too long or obscure for my brain to remember.
Things like multiple rotating 128bit hex format wep keys in a text file
and passwords that are not data sensitive and are not used often enough
to commit to memory like sourceforge. I was playing around with des -E
and -D and dumping the key to a file on portable media. I can't get it
to decrypt right though. I'll have to play with the loopback approach
to get a better understanding about the encryption part. It may be
overkill for right now but it has many other obvious advantages for
encrypted file storage.
