strength of Authorization: Basic aG9uemE6dHJvdtagWcO==




  Hello,

   another question :

     what is the strength of encryption of Basic Authorization ? What
cipher does it use to encrypt it ? I presume that it combines the
realm,username and password info, right ?

 What does it take to crack the string ``aG9uemE6dHJvdtagWcO=='', if I
know the realm and the username ?  Is there somewhere a utility that would
try to crack this for me ? (This is a proof-of-SSLrequirement exercise,
not a cracking excersise),

     Thanx,

         Jan
