Hi Josh,
No I didn't try it because I don't own ReFox. I was just passing on some information Victor has posted (about 8 times) concerning ReFox. He did say it took him between 20 and 30 hours to initially do it (pack a lunch and a change of clothes < s >).

My way of thinking about this is if someone wants to bad enough and they have the resources, they can get your code. Even 128-bit encryption is not uncrackable. Currently it just takes longer than my life time to crack (with the advancement of computers and medical science, that could change < s >).
