VPN Group Password Security

KMTKMT @verizon.net	VPN Group Password Security I recently needed to set up a new VPN connection when I changed operating systems. I need to decode the group password that was found in the PCF file and used this website to do it: »www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/bi···o-decode Are there any security issues with doing this? They only have the encrypted password, I did not need to submit the server name, my username/password or the group name. They wouldn't be able to hack into the VPN connection with JUST the group password, right?

Lasko @cox.net	reply to KMTKMT They probably will not be able to find your VPN or hack into it. However you may also download the source for the decoder from the site and compile the program yourself. That way it avoids any concerns you may have
