Need help with blowfish encryption Started 2 months ago by funkster79

    Hi everyone,

    first of all, nice piece of software you put together.

    But I do have a problem using it. I'm using blowfish encryption on some channels in mIRC and can't seem to get it to work.

    Do I get it right that using the channel information is the right way to enter a encryptin key? If so, I only see a checkbox "encrypt" and typing the key I normally use in that channel does not decrypt the text. So my first question is:

    Is the "encrypt" field the right place to enter a blowfish key? Or is there any other type of encryption used?

    Then second, I could not join a specific channel, since the password hat special characters like ³² in it. I switched the connection to latin2 and it worked. But the blowfish encryption might have the same problem, because those characters appear there two, plus the ⎜ character which has many encodings as I found out. I tried like 8 of them...(all that exist) but it is still not decrypting right. So the second question obviosly is:

    Do I have to set the encryption encoding somewhere? Or does it use the one of the connection?

    Kind regards

    Blowfish Commands can be found here.

    As to encoding: the connection encoding will be used.

    thx for the link,

    but /setkey seems to do the same as filling out the "encryption" field. And it still doesn't work. The encoding should be right (Latin2) since i can only join the channel with special characters in the key with this encoding.

    But it does not decrypt the text correctly. Can somoene help me create a test channel with an encryption with special characters in the key so I could test this??

    Regards Funkster

    @funkster79: if you tell me where to meet you on IRC, I'll be happy to test this with you.
