NODE 8b7bfb04Crypto CD

I'm considering the idea of cutting a crypto CD, and wanted to see if
there was any potential interest in the idea, or not. Basically what i
forsee is a disk with the basic algorithms (DES/IDEA/Etc), and steg tools,
along with a few large crypto aps like PGP, and basic cracking software (Crypt
Breakers Work Bench, XOR-type crackers, and dictionary attacks with
a few dozen dictionaries). I'd also like to include a remail directory
with some remailer sources, remailer-aware clients, and the mixmaster
sources. And of course as much infomation as possible -- cyphernomicon
preferably, possibly even archives of this list..
I would plan to put unix/dos/mac all on one CD. I'm thinking that
realistically I can expect 50 megs or so. Possibly as much as 100 if I
find a TON of wonderful text.
Could be useful to individuals, as well as for groups wishing to create
FTP sites etc.
Pricing with shipping would wind up around US$20.00, give or take 5 dollars..
I'd like to know first off whether such a thing already exists. Secondly
whether anyone would be interested in possesing such a thing. And lastly
any suggestions for/about content that I may have missed..
Thanks
Benji

50 megs? You expect me to pay 20 bucks, and you won't even
download the contents of ftp.dsi.unimi.it, the archives on hks.net,
and maybe a few other international crypto archives?
More seriously, a completist cd rom would be nice, but the
marginal cost of filling the CD with stuff is pretty low.
